Nothing beats a great pair of thermal bibtights on cold, mostly dry training days. Cold legs equal less circulation, and less circulation equals reduced performance. So when the temperature dips, pull on a pair of the Specialized SL Pro Thermal Bib Tights. These feature Italian-made ThermoRoubaix®,a brushed-back, stretch fleece that's soft, warm, and compressive, making them the perfect option for chilly training rides. The cut is anatomic, with panel shapes and textiles that enhance the ergonomic pedaling action while providing key areas of heat and moisture release with panels that deliver more warmth and compression. The SL Pro Thermal's are just that, thermal, and have only minimal blocking capability for wind and water, but road spray and wind can be accommodated by the excellent thermal properties.

The bib upper is supportive and carries the body position required to hold the lower half in place despite the compressive nature of the fabric and pedaling action. The rear section is mesh for fast excess heat and moisture release. The flat straps stay in place, and have a controlled stretch for comfortable fit, but not so much that the straps will feel loose. Rounding out the practical and comfort features, Specialized used their proven Body Geometry 3D Contour Chamois with it's variable density design that places support and padding where you need it, not where you don't. Final details include a wide, soft by mildly compressive ankle cuff design and a reflective logo on the back of the right calf.
