Le Col Therma Bib Short in Black Aqua Zero Fabric

Season:AW19

Brand:Le Col

Code:THBIB15

Sometimes it's too hot for tights but not quite shorts weather. There have been a number of heavier weight Bib-shorts on the market for a while now, but in this man's opinion, none have them have ticked all the boxes quite like the Le Col Thermal Bib Short.

First and foremost, the Le Col Thermal Bibs are more than just a warmer version of their existing shorts. Though loosely based on Le Col's excellent Pro series bib short in as much as they share the same superb Gel Chamois pad for exceptional all-day comfort, the Thermal Bib shorts are much more than just a fleecier effort, as is often the case with other brands. 

The biggest selling point here is the use of Aqua Zero in the bib short's construction. Not just in certain panels you understand, but Le Col's Thermal Bib shorts are constructed entirely from this stretchy, water-repellent fabric. In our experience, waterproof fabrics often throw up problems of fit and comfort, for the most part they are less compliant and more restrictive making long days in the saddle in unpleasant conditions, less than tolerable. The Aqua Zero fabric employed by Le Col strikes an excellent balance of accommodating fit and sensible levels of water resistance. If the rain is unrelenting then the shorts will get wet, but the same can be said of pretty much all 'waterproof' cycling apparel with the exception of very expensive and specific items like jackets. However, for those days where the weather is changeable but not cold enough for longs, or if you're training or racing at a relatively high intensity in unpleasant conditions, then the Le Col Thermal bibs are spot-on. The added bonus of a windproof membrane that remains maximally breathable means that you won't cook in them either and careful partnering with suitable water repellent leg or knee warmers means you can tailor your kit 'on the fly' rather than being stuck in the wrong clothing should conditions change.

Like the Pro and HC ranges, the Thermal Bib Shorts feature Le Col's embroidered logo on the back of the short as well as the signature leg grippers. Reflective tabs are sewn into each leg for additional visibility from the side.

Professional Opinion
Warm, comfortable and water resistant - It's no wonder that the Therma Bibshort was recently awarded 5 stars from Cyclist Magazine. As much as we like to complain, the English Winter rarely creeps down to Arctic conditions; it's for this reason that I opted to permanently shelve my Bibtights, and instead choose the Thermal bibshort. I'm all about versatility when it comes to my kit, and considering that on a longer ride the temperature may well fluctuate to the point that you think you've ridden into another season entirely, the Therma Bibshort is perfect. It allows for this temperature variance by being constructed of the fleece lined Aqua Zero fabric, keeping the important bits warm right down to freezing temperatures; dry and supported. The Dolomiti pad is extremely comfortable and as a plus is hypoallergenic being PVC and latex free.
