For 2019 we've made some dramatic changes. Not because Team Ineos or you were asking for it, but because we've been riding in it a ton and thinking constantly about how we could make it better. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Ineos will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. We've re-engineered the bib straps with new fabrics and construction so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The revised Free 3 Aero Race Bibshort also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. You'll be glad we ignore the old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. - Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance - Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit - Stripe mesh engineered minimalist bib construction keeps you cool - Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area - Doppio V construction in front for increased support and comfort - Flat-lock stitching - Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad

The Sorpasso Bibtight is our best winter tight because of its exceptionally wide comfort range and the amazing fit. And both of these features come from the combination of our Thermoflex Core2 fabric and our standard fleecy Themoflex. The Core2 fabric is made with a hollow-core polyester yarn on the inside and a nylon outer face, which together provide excellent insulation for cold temperatures along with better wicking to keep you comfortable when it’s not so cold. This fabric offers some wind protection but is somewhat limited in stretch, and that’s where the extremely stretchy Thermoflex fabric comes in. The overall effect is a tight that offers optimal compression and seems to just move with you. - Our best-fitting tight for a wide range of cool to cold conditions - Thermoflex Core2 front and knees for extra warmth - Thermoflex over thighs and back of legs for extra stretch - Castelli shadow wordmark in colored leg band - 3D support band at lower back and flat bib straps for extra comfort - Progetto X2 Air seat pad for long-distance rides
