Gone are the days of cresting a climb, grabbing a newspaper from a helpful spectator, and stuffing it down the front of your jersey while rolling into a long, chilling descent. The need for added core protection is still there, but technology has rendered the journalistic solution obsolete. With the RS SF Bib Tights S11 EVO, fully integrated protection against windchill is always on hand.The RS SF S11 EVO’s flakFoil technology is a 3L softshell panel that deploys across your chest, beneath your bib straps, for an instant stormproof upgrade. When not in use, the flakFoil disappears discreetly into its own pocket, just behind the left bib strap. The construction not only provides emergency protection, it also frees up pocket space that would otherwise be consumed by a shell vest or jacket, leaving room for more accessories, more nutrition, or more ride essentials.The body textile is the same ultrasoft, breathable thermal textile as the previous generation, and the stormproof softshell panel on the crotch also returns, protecting your core against windchill and road spray alike. The antimicrobial insert features the same free-floating design and airflow-promoting technologies as the RS SCHTRADIVARI S11 summer bib shorts, but for these bib tights, the insert is protected behind the breathable softshell panel. The result is high breathability without cold airflow – dry warmth, critical for riding in cool conditions.
