hey everyone,

I rode today in 35-40 degree weather and did fine with my tights but I really prefer bibs. Can anyone here recommend a pair for riding in the 30-40degree range?

Performance bike has some windblock / water resistant bib tights for about $70. I've used my pair several times for rides, runs, and some xc skiing in 25-40 degree temps, without discomfort.

Performance Triflex tights come in a bib version. They have a windproof and water resistant front and a wicking/breathable back. I have worn mine alone down to 25F and with a light layer to 10F.

Thanks guys. I actually have the standard Triflex tights and when I ordered them I didn't realize they came in a bibbed version. I'll get some ordered this week. Thanks again.

Great Choice! I have a pair also.
I normally wear Under Armour Compression Shorts (LONG) under my Bibs.
When the temps drop below 0 (F) I wear Under Armour Cold Gear leggings underneath.
