Assos LL.milleTightss7 Bib Tights Men's

The hardest part about getting out for winter base miles is often just that summoning the motivation to get out the door. When motivation is in short supply, excuses never are, and the time required for gathering and donning the necessary kit for temperatures around 30 degrees Fahrenheit can occasionally be enough of an inconvenience that we leave the wheels hanging for the day. The LL. milleTightss7 Bib Tights for men are Assos' thoughtful solution to lazy kit syndrome, designed to pull on fast to eliminate as many barriers between you and your base miles as possible.

The attention to detail that made Assos' name is evident in details like the articulation down the back of the leg, which strategically tapers and combines panels of material for a fit through the back of the knee that's every bit as bunch free as the LL. bonkaTights. Even the reflective strips on the back of the legs are only attached at the ends, as sewing...
