Specialized Women's Element 1.5 Tights - No Chamois Black XL

Geschlecht: Frauen
Einsatzbereich: Road, Mountain, Winter

Express a weakness and Old Man Winter will both find and exploit it. That's why it's critical to start your ride off right with a piece like our Women's Element 1.5 WINDSTOPPER® Cycling Tights.

To start they're partly made from one of the most venerable materials in the business—Gore® WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell. As its name suggests this material is extremely wind- and water-resistant. But what its name doesn't tell you is that it's also highly efficient at wicking moisture away from the skin while also remaining soft against the skin and quite breathable. And to further protect against the cold select panels of the tights are constructed from our insulating Therminal™ fabric.

Both materials possess the perfect amount of stretch which complements the articulated cycling cut of the tights. Essentially this all adds up to a complete freedom of movement throughout the motions of cycling which equates to the elimination of any rubbing pinching or chafing. And to ease entry and exit of the tights we've also included an eight-inch ankle zipper.

The bib tights have been purposefully constructed without a chamois. The reason for this boils down to both preference and versatility. For cycling you're able to layer them over your favorite pair of bib shorts for added warmth and predictable comfort. And for other winter sports like Nordic skiing or trail running you'll find the close warming fit of these tights to be the perfect match.
