EQUIPE RS Men's Spring Fall Bib Tights S11 EVO

EQUIPE RS Men's Spring Fall Bib Tights S11 EVO

This bib tight belongs to Assos's Racing category and is designed for high-intensity rides in cool, dry weather. The aerodynamic second-skin fit sits close to the body, while a softshell panel around the core protects against chilling. The updated EVO version features an integrated flakFoil panel, providing additional storm-proof protection across the stomach and chest area whenever it's needed.

Technical Details and Features

The main fabric is the same ultra-soft, breathable thermal material as in the previous generation, complemented by a storm-proof softshell insert at the crotch that blocks wind and spray. The tight offers an aerodynamic racingFit for high-intensity riding in cool, dry conditions and has been updated with a more breathable, antimicrobial seat insert as well as lightweight, wind- and water-resistant paneling for changeable conditions. The antimicrobial seat insert features the same free-floating design and airflow-enhancing technologies as the SCHTRADIVARI summer bib shorts, though in this bib tight the pad sits protected behind the breathable, windproof softshell panel.

The construction relies on a Soft X-Frame, an A-shaped support structure that limits sagging in the lower back area, stabilizing both the seat insert and the main panel during intense rides. The straps are made especially lightweight and run over the shoulders. At the leg opening, a raw-cut hem without seams ensures smooth compatibility with rain or wind covers. For better visibility in poor light conditions, reflective details are placed on the calves, catching light throughout the pedal stroke to enhance rider visibility in low-light situations.

The seat insert itself is built on the Mono-9 cushioning system: compressive foam materials in a single-layer 9mm racing platform minimize volume and weight, while a thermo-molded structure prevents pressure points and chafing. The pad is further enhanced by patented 3D-Waffle technology, a three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and saves excess weight. A kraterCooler panel made of ultra-lightweight, perforated material additionally provides cooling air circulation above the seat insert.

Applications and Benefits

This bib tight is designed for training rides and races during the transitional season, when there's still a chill in the air in the morning and the weather can change over the course of the day. Instead of stuffing a newspaper under your jersey to block the wind on the descent, the flakFoil panel made of 3-layer softshell provides instant, storm-proof protection across the stomach and chest. The panel unfolds from beneath the straps and, when not needed, can be discreetly stowed in a pocket behind the left strap. This leaves more room in your other pockets for food and accessories that would otherwise be taken up by a shell vest or jacket.

Anyone tackling a long climb in cool conditions followed by a fast descent will benefit from the dry warmth created by the combination of thermal fabric and protected seat insert, without any unpleasant cold airflow. The close fit and stabilizing strap construction are especially well suited to riders who don't want to sacrifice high intensity even as temperatures drop. This makes the EQUIPE RS Spring Fall Bib Tights S11 EVO a great match for training rides and races during the Swiss spring and autumn, when sudden weather changes on a ride are far from rare.
