Warm, windproof and water-resistant tights with versatile storage for all-weather adventures. An investment in your cold weather happiness on the bike.
Our Cargo Bib Shorts have become a firm favourite with Chimpeurs seeking all-day comfort, performance and versatility on the roughest terrain. We’ve applied the same approach to our Thermal Cargo Tights, adding superior weatherproofing, reflectivity and even more carrying options to keep you exploring through all seasons.
The culmination of two years research and development, five fabrics combine to protect from the elements without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement. The main construction is a fleece-backed fabric with a durable water repellent treatment, providing warmth and shedding water. Windproof front panels shield from the bitter gusts while highly reflective ‘Out There’ graphics cover the entire calf section. Subtly styled by day, these retroreflective stripes applied to constantly moving legs greatly enhance rider visibility in low light conditions. A large panel of reflective dots just above the seat provides additional visibility at eye-level.
An ergonomic eleven-panel construction of high performance materials moves with the body to ensure optimum fit and support.Minimal flatlock seams are positioned carefully throughout to hold the tights in place in the highest comfort. With two pairs of pockets on the legs and lower back, these tights provide easy access to snacks and ride essentials. Both left hand side pockets feature waterproof lining and additional zipped security pockets.
The award-winning CyTech Elastic Interface® Endurance 2.5 HD chamois provides supreme comfort in the saddle even on the very longest rides and toughest terrain, utilising dual high-density foams and an anatomic fit to reduce bulk and pressure, ensuring maximum protection and blood flow. Rated for 8hr+ rides, the perforated fabric is designed to ensure quick-drying for multi-day adventures.
The bib section uses a high-stretch mesh to accommodate longer torsos while low profile, laser cut straps eliminate chafing, providing support without bulk. The shorts are made from 100% pre-dyed fabrics, meaning they will remain a deep black when stretched and after washing. Finished with minimal reflective branding to compliment any kit, with a woven Out There patch applied to the bib section.
★★★★★★★★★ 9/10 & Winner of the Cargo Bib Shorts Group Test at advntr.cc
“Victory Chimp have produced a really understated nice short that has all the hallmarks of a quality product that will see you through some good miles. Price-wise it sits under the other mega expensive options out there but that doesn’t detract at all from its comfort and performance. The cargo pockets really do work and the key comfort points have all been covered with thought.
If you’re looking for a well featured short at a reasonable price for adventures long or short then I would definitely recommend these shorts.” - ADVNTR.CC

Seem very warm and good protection in key areas. Been searching for cargo bib tights for a while and these fit the bill. Pad initially seems quite thin but having done a few longer rides seems ok but not sure how it will hold up on longer endurance rides. After getting sizing advice bought Large (5’10”, 189lbs, 34 waist, 43 chest) and fit is about right. Bit tight on the chest straps but XL legs would have been much too long in the legs (there is a lot of material in the legs and a tendency to bunch). Overall, very pleased and recommended.
Thanks for the great review. Hope you enjoy many happy miles in the tights. And don't worry about the pad, it's specifically designed for long endurance rides of 7+ hours, with many of our customers using it for audax rides and >500km ultras. https://www.elasticinterface.com/cycling-pads/endurance-2-5-hd-men/

Quality bib tights
At first inspection you will love the little details, the extra zip pockets and the illuminated wording on the back of the legs. They are very comfy and warm ideal this time of year. This was my first purchase from Victory Chimp but won’t be the last.

Like a warm cupboard
Incredible amount of storage and they're certainly warm. I tend to get warm legs whilst riding so they were bought more for the depths of winter but have given them a couple of trial runs recently when it's been around 5C. They were almost too warm for me at that temp so I'm sure they'll be great when it gets colder. I'm around 6ft2, 75kg and went for the large size, which I've found to be spot on when on the bike. The material is reassuringly rugged, tho this does cause it to bunch a little round the knees as it's quite thick - just something to be aware of if that kind of thing bothers you. One other thing is the size of the pad - it's thicker and wider than I prefer but it was still relatively comfortable after 50 miles. Again, just something to be aware of. Overall, a really high quality pair of bib tights for winter.

Thermal Cargo Bib Tights are toasty...
Just used these over the weekend with the dip in temperatures and they are superb - lovely fit/finish and super comfy pad. Would highly recommend.
