Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Tights. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Castelli Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Tights. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Tights. Brands like Castelli are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Tights category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Tights.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Castelli Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Castelli Sorpasso ROS Bib TightsPart of the Castelli ‘Rain or Shine’ system of garments, the Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights’ focus is to keep you comfortable on the bike when the full force of winter hits. Nano Flex TechnologyThe protection against the elements begins with the use of warm and water-repellent Nano Flex 3G fabric. This technical material is used for the majority of the Castelli Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights. With its fleecy interior and nanotechnology coated outer, it does a brilliant job of retaining body heat and shrugging off light rain, sleet and even snow. Not just that but it’s breathable too, vital to avoid a chill when you’ve been pushing hard on the pedals. In areas particularly vulnerable to the cold, Castelli have used their Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric. This brings with it an extra degree of windchill protection, water-repellency and warmth, boosting comfort when conditions are particularly harsh. Sleek FitWith protection taken care of Castelli also focused on the fit. The high-stretch fabrics are tailored into an anatomic pattern, providing a brilliant fit and offering extra flexibility over the knees and hips. The result is easy manoeuvrability and smooth pedalling, just like you enjoy with your favourite shorts. At the upper body, the lie-flat bib straps hold tight but soon disappear from your mind. Progetto X² Air Seat PadThe pro-level Progetto X2 Air Seatpad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3 layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.Base miles in winter lead to a great foundation for summer fitness. The Sorpasso ROS Bib Tights deploy technical fabrics to fend off cold temperatures and wet roads. They’re an essential weapon in your battle against the cold and damp conditions of winter. Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneNano Flex 3G fabric for the best mix of warmth, stretchy compression, softness and water repellencyNano Flex Xtra Dry fabric panel on upper front and thighs and on back to protect from road sprayAnatomic cut to hips and kneeReflective inserts for maximum visibility from behindLie-flat elastic bib strapsYKK® Camlock® zippers at anklesProgetto X2 Air seamless pad for long hours in the saddleSuggested temperature range: 2 to 14 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
