Description
WHAT IT IS
Breathable, lightly insulated tights engineered for cool spring and fall conditions, updated with increased fit security and a more comfortable long-distance insert.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
We completely reengineered our Spring Fall Half Tights with a new waist design and a new insert – in short, it’s an entirely new platform. The new waist is our hipClick construction, which stabilizes the leg panels and insert by locking into place with a supportive, unrestrictive fit. The updated UMA GT C2 insert shifts cushioning to support more upright, less aggressive riding positions – ideal for comfort over longer distances while training or touring.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Pair with the GTV Spring Fall Jacket C2 and ASSOSOIRES in late fall and early spring, or stow a GTV Spring Fall Vest C2 in the GT Spring Fall Jersey C2’s pockets to prepare for the often variable conditions of the transitional seasons. FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
RX EVO provides midweight thermal insulation for the moderate, variable temperatures of spring and fall. Its brushed inner face is soft against the skin with breathability and ECO water repellency that manage moisture from inside and out. The true black material stays black rather than blanching while stretching across the knees. The highly breathable Tech Sheen Mesh wraps the waist with gently compressive support.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our streamlined regularFit provides total comfort for longer rides. The new waist construction provides secure comfort.
ENGINEERING
- hipClick: A waist construction that combines elastic and mesh layers for high coverage that eliminates restriction, stabilizes the tights’ body panels, and locks the insert in place.
- Raw Cut: Smooth, lie-flat leg openings create a low-volume fit for frictionless layering beneath protective booties. UMA GT C2 Insert
- Shock-Absorb Damping Mono: Compressive foam layers in a 9mm endurance platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.
- goldenGate: The stitching pattern anchors the front and back but lets the insert’s body float, letting it move with your body rather than against it.
- 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
