Water Resistant thermal bib tights with a pad designed to keep you PERFORMing at your best through the winter months. Made with 100% recycled fabrics & featuring a calf reflective.
New to the Perform range this season, these winter tights are built to endure the cold British climate. The premium fleece backed lycra material has been treated with a sustainable DWR coating, helping to shed off any rainfall. The calf area has a reflective HEX transfer that is subtle during daylight but drastically improves visibility in low light conditions. Being placed on the rear of the bibs, it is optimally positioned for approaching vehicles.
The bib top is made from a breathable mesh that facilitates the transfer of moisture from your base layer through to your jacket.
Paired with our tried and tested PERFORM chamois which has been a staple part of our carbon bib shorts, it is the first time we have used them in a pair of bib tights. Providing all day comfort wherever the road may take you.

The Lusso difference
I've used Lusso tights for a few years and they've been excellent — comfortable and durable. This time I wanted to order (as in the past) tights with no pad, as I previously wore padded undershorts with them. I emailed Lusso to ask if this is still possible but got no reply, and it's no longer shown as an option when ordering online. Previously I had size XL, but based on the size information I ordered L this time. They fit OK but are fairly tight and they seem cut a little higher at the front than previously, so pulling the front down for a pee is a stretch! The pad is fine. In all other respects I would give these 5 stars.
I’ve been wearing tights from Rapha and these feel higher quality for less money. If I was being picky the pad could be a bit firmer, bit on 3-4 hour rides so far I’ve not noticed the pad so it must be doing its job.
At first, I thought that my medium bib tights were a bit tight. (a 77 year old needs comfort) and arranged to send them back and order a large size. This was arranged very efficiently with all the paperwork sent by Lusso within 2 days. HOWEVER, I decided to try them on again, having re read the spec, tight fit. I sat on a chair and replicated my cycle position, a perfect fit.
So I prepared to go out for a two hour ride. Showing off my new attire to my wife, she said, "Your Nora Batty legs have gone," so no more comfort fit sloppy legs anymore.
My previous Lusso bib shorts are now 12 years old, I suspect the pad is a little tired because my new Perform Winter bib tight pad is so comfortable.
So yes, I'd buy again ( in another 12 years if I can still get my leg over the cross bar). I highly recommend this British company and their products.

Best bib tights I've worn. Pad and material is so comfy. Fit is lovely. Quality is great. Faultless, to be honest.
Super comfortable and lovely material to wear. Great company to deal with.
My only reservation is that my legs got cold in 3-4 degrees so I think these are perhaps better in the range 5-10 degrees.
