Giordana Fusion Tight Women's

Women specific bib straps have come a long way, but there are times when even the most pro bib among us are still inclined to say no thanks. Winter cycling is one such time, and the Giordana Fusion Women's Tights lets us load up on thermal protection below the waist without adding restriction or additional layers above it.

To preserve the fit while in motion, Giordana has included a silicone gripper at the cuffs and a waistband with internal elastic and an adjustable drawstring. A further hit of rubbery detailing adorns the outer cuffs, adding grip to hold shoecover cuffs in place and ...
