It"s not everyday that we get caught by surprise, but we certainly did when we first saw the Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women"s Bib Tights. For the first time, Giordana has incorporated its carbon fiber technology into a winter-weight pair of bib tights.

FormaRed uses this thick, stretchy, and breathable material for its water-repellent qualities. Covering the quads is Giordana"s bread-and-butter winter-weight fabric, SuperRoubaix. This material uses an interlocking, microfiber knit construction that creates a highly breathable and warming loft. But, Giordana didn"t only place it on the quads for warmth, SuperRoubaix is highly stretchable and also provides a slight compression that dissipates lactic acid buildup.

Additionally, the carbon fiber blocks out static and rogue atmospheric electrical interference for an increased anaerobic output. Altogether, the materials work in harmony to keep you insulated, protected from the elements, and riding at your best. The FormaRed Carbon bib tights use a curved, multi-panel design, that when combined with the malleable fabrics, anatomically conforms to your body"s contours while providing a complete freedom of movement. However, to preserve the fit while in movement, Giordana has included a silicone gripper at the cuffs. You"ll also find Camlock zippers at the ankles for both se...
