ASSOS R 3/3 S11 Bib Tights

Aerodynamic racingFit bib tights for high-intensity riding in challenging winter conditions. The updated design is lighter without sacrificing stormproof protection or thermoregulating warmth, and the redesigned pre-shaped paneling creates less restriction throughout the pedal stroke. An update to our recently returned HABU winter line, the new EQUIPE R bib tights are updated for lighter weight and less pedaling restriction, saving 50g in size medium with more effective textile deployment and targeted removal of material around the knee area. Stormproof paneling layered across the thermal crotch panel protects the core from wind and road spray, and the water-repellent finish of the thermal body textiles sheds precipitation. The new EQUIPE R S11 insert incorporates the friction-eliminating features of the SCHTRADIVARI S11's insert, but without the added ventilation of the summer version.Features:Featured Fabrics:- AIRBLOCK.1098 is the lightest of our AIRBLOCK softshell membrane family. Here, it provides an additional layer of breathable, stormproof protection over the core. The RX Extreme textile is our most robust insulator from the RX family. It's a brushed, insulating warp-knit fabric with high breathability and a water-repellent treatment, providing warmth and protection over the knees comparable to two layers of less insulating textiles.Construction/Fit:- Our AEPD 11 racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback to envelope the body in 360-degree compression and stability. The Louvre Tec design pattern specially shapes the knee to eliminate friction while pedaling.Engineering:- Acqua Shield Tec: A water-repellent treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the textile surface, maintaining a dry microclimate underneath.- X-Frame: An A-frame suspension that limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding. Anchored across the shoulders by our lightest bib straps.- Reflective: Reflective details on the lower legs catch light throughout the pedal stroke, increasing rider visibility in low-light conditions.Equipe R S11:- Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam materials in a breathable 9mm racing platform. Thermoformed shaping eliminates ridges and irritation.- 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.- Goldengate 2.0: A free-floating construction that moves with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the wings reduce friction throughout the pedal stroke.When/How To Use It:- For the cold, wet conditions of winter, pair with the EQUIPE R HABU Jacket and winter Assosoires.
