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 Wind Bib Tights.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Sorpasso Ros Wind 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.

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.

The result is a cycling tight created to take on the harshest of winter cycling conditions. Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®The Sorpasso ROS (Rain or Shine) Wind Bib Tights benefit from the windproof and insulating properties of Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®.

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.
