Not all 'roubaix' is created equal. Our fleece lined thermal bib shorts and tights are developed using premium Italian milled Thermoroubaix Power DWR from MITI s.p.a. We chose this top end fabric for its compressive quality - similar to that found on our summer weight bib shorts - as well as it's dense knit and DWR treated face, both of which enhance protection from the cold wet months of the year. These premium offerings provide amazing versatility from Fall through early Spring and will extend comfort far beyond the sunny days and short-sleeved temps.
