Winter warmth with minimal bulk and targetted protection are the key features of the MILLE GT Winter Bib Tights GTO C2. For bitter cold weather and icy roads, they offer essential comfort.  Layered up Warmth Warmth comes by the way of a multi-layered, multi-fabric approach to their construction. The main material is Assos' OSMOS Heavy. This offers a high degree of insulation, with a brushed skin-facing side to retain as much body heat as possible. The front panel meanwhile, uses OSMOS light fabric combined with SPHERE Ultra Hole. This combination makes use of a stretchy membrane-backed 2L softshell, with micro holes, allowing excess heat to escape, while maintaining added protection from cold wind and road spray.  Impact Protection Across the hips, Assos have deployed added protection, keeping this vulnerable area covered should you be unfortunate to slide off on wet or icy roads. Re-engineered and removable impactPads are flexible but provide reliable impact protection. On top of these pads is an abrasion-resistant ripstop dyneRope textile, protecting hips from road rash, while also preventing tights from being ruined by falls.  Body Wrapped in Comfort The GTO straps and leg panels feature Assos' rollBar and one-piece Butterfly panel construction. This offers extra stability and support. Each leag panel also features louvreTec darted construction, delivering a custom, compressive hold of your thighs. A raw-cut waist also delivers a pressure-free and smooth fit.  MILLE GTO C2 Insert Using their stitch-free goldenGate technology and reversed seams, the MILLE GTO C2 Insert is honed for long-distance cycling comfort. The front features Assos' sunDeck superlight - a successor to their iconic kukuPenthouse - made using an ultrasoft foam-free textile to form a preshaped cup that both supports the male anatomy and promotes maximum ventilation. The pad also features the twin21 System made of three separate layers. Firstly, 11mm of lightweight microShock foam gives shock absorption. Next 10mm of lower-density matrix foam. This is sandwiched between the microShock and the 3D waffle outer to fully absorb micro-vibrations. The 3D waffle itself is a 3-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
