The Four Season Bib Tights have an innovative design, pairing the high torso style of deep winter bib tights with ThermoRoubaix® fabric. This combination provides retains core warmth in winter and simplifies your layering choices all year round. No more getting caught out in just a long-sleeved jersey on that first properly cold autumn day!
Manufactured in Italy by industry experts M.I.T.I., ThermoRoubaix® is a luxuriously soft and fleecy premium fabric. Insulating and wind-resistant, the dense-knit material wards off the worst of the wind chill when you’re on the drops. It’s also treated with a PFC-free DWR to repel passing showers.
All Rhythm Bibs feature our custom 8 hour chamois team-tested and unanimously chosen by our women riders. Made with premium dual-density foam for greater support, stability and comfort over longer rides and rigorous terrain. The seamless construction and plush feel is all about luxurious against-the-skin comfort. And they are treated with Silvadur 930 anti-microbial to stay fresh day after day.
The Four Season bibs feature a chest-mounted phone warmer pocket to prevent premature cold-induced battery drain. This keeps your valuables secure and, most importantly, alive! We’ve also added a zipped secure thigh pocket and an open rear mesh pocket on the back to pop your gels and bits of flapjack in.

Sustainability
How It Is Made
PFC-Free DWROur Rhythm 4-Season Bib Tights use completely PFC-free DWR treatment on their outer fabric. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment. We don't like the sound of that so we've get rid of them.
Where It Is Made
Our products are made in the best factories in the world. We know the factories personally and they have all signed up to our Code of Ethics in our supply chain. This includes the Ethical Trading Initiative base code, fair pay, safe working environments, no child labour, no modern slavery, no bribery or corruption, no materials from conflict zones and humane farming methods.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
