Core Winter Tights with Pad
Getting the basics right.
Description
Winter training is about focussing on the foundations of fitness. Get the basics right and everything else will fall into place.
The Core range is the result of thousands of hours of riding and development work, using knowledge gained on the road to focus on the essential elements that distinguish the best riding apparel. The Core collection sets a new standard for performance, value and comfort.
The Core Winter Tight is designed to keep you warm while you train or commute on cold winter roads, with legs made of a stretchy brushed-back fleece to keep your muscles warm, and bibs constructed from a lighter, stretchier material to emphasise comfort and allow perspiration to escape. Utilising the same construction as the best selling Core Bib Short, the seams lie flat and are contoured to stay in place through your full range of motion.
This version of the Core Winter Tight features the same proven pad as used in the Core Bib Short.
“Rapha's new Core bib tights offer excellent comfort, insulation and performance at a price that is more attainable than ever before for the London-based brand, and they're a decent rival to any other options for the same kind of money.”
★★★★☆ David Arthur, Road.cc »

A Great pait of winter bibs
I have a couple of pair of core summer bibs so I decided to give these ago. They were comfotable straight out of the box . The're not too thick but still keep you warm. I have been wearing these on rides frm 30 miles to 55 miles in temperatures of between 1c and 8c without any issues.
I am 174 cm and 88kgs and the large fits perfectly.

Nothing more, nothing less
Bought this for riding through the harsh winter season in Norway. Nice fit, with a minimalistic design covering your basic needs. Compared to the Pro Team line, I would advise you to size down as the bib shorts are a bit more roomy. Keep also in mind that the core winter tights are not very wind or water proof, so its best for short rides in 0-10 degrees temperatures.

My go to tights for winter riding!
6ft 1 slim build and the size medium fits perfectly. The straps are extremely comfortable and unnoticeable on and off the bike. The front is high enough to give extra protection but enabling for calls of nature. At first I thought the material could be tighter around the knees but as soon as your on the bike it makes sense for this area not to be stretched. I like that there is simple elastic at the ankle which is not constrictive with no zip which I like.
The fleece inner is very warm down to -2 so far. There is no coating on the outer material so if it’s wet and cold your shins will get cold on long rides! The pad is excellent and riden over 5hrs with normal levels of comfort. A great looking black tight that stood up to a harsh, windy and wet autumn/winter so far and washed really well!

Great value kit!
After exclusively riding pro team kit I was a little anxious in investing in the Core range. However I have been more than pleasantly surprised with the quality and performance of the range. These will be my go to's for my daily two hour commute come winter. However as my legs are more Chris Froome than Peter Sagan, the fit is on the larger side compared to the Pro Team.

Over priced and poor quality
Sadly these didn’t shape up to the excellent standard I’ve come to expect from Rapha products. I’ve bought very similar tights from Rapha in past years and did the same thinking they’d get me through the winter, given that we’re not yet in November and some of the stitching is starting to fray I fear that’s not going to be the case.

Great Winter Tights
I have been enjoying using these tights for a little while now, having purchased them just after they were released. They are nice and close fitting, just how I want them to be (I am 6'2" and 80kg and a Large fits me perfectly). They don't bunch at the knees like some tights, and are warm, but not too warm when you are giving it full gas. They seem to me the perfect balance of cost versus performance for a nice everyday tight to wear throughout winter.

Snug fit and very comfortable
These bibs breathe great quality. Not too tight and not too loose, they are great for both my casual commute as well as intense winter riding. I usually prefer zips on the lower part of the legs as this helps getting them on and off more easily, but these just work, just enough stretch to make the process as comfy as they ride in general. Compared to other winter bibs I’ve tried these are by far more comfortable when working up a temperature, they don’t just keep you warm in the cold, but ventilate excess heat like a dream. Design is understated excellence too.

Excellent in every way
I really cannot fault the core tights (with pad ) and long sleeve jersey that i bought as a bundle. I went a size down on jersey as i read the core range was less race fit. Excellent fit and works incredibly well on road and cyclocross. Highly recommended

How do these compare to the Pro Team tights in tickness/warmth?
These Tights feature a Roubaix Fleece and, if anything, are slightly thicker than the Pro Team Bibs that are treated with a DWR coating to repel water

I am 5'7" 140 lbs. size XL will work?
We would recommend you measure your waist size and consult the sizing guide for a more accurate sizing choice

If i'm a medium in Pro team bibs, would the medium in this relaxed fit still be best?
Hi, we do suggest to stay true to size. Though if you are a comfortable Medium in Pro Team you could possibly fit these in a small. Though it will depend on your personal preference as far as fit. Should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.

Can one apply the Rapha DWR spray treatment as listed on your site to these tights in order to give them a water repellent finish?
Hi, our Apparel Re-Proofer is best used on garments that are already waterproof and water-resistant as to restore water resistance. If this is applied to garments that are not originally water resistant, this will only somewhat aid with slowing down the process of permeation.

For a milder climate where fall / winter temps are 40s and 50s Fahrenheit at coldest, would you recommend these or leg warmers with bib shorts? Also, for a 30 waist, would you recommend small or medium?
These garments have a brushed back fleece lining on the leg for added warmth in the winter, so this could be more suitable for winter conditions.
For a 30 inch waist a Small size would be appropriate.
