Giordana Men's AV Windfront Bib Tight Info

The Giordana Men's AV Windfront Bib Tight is a winter bib tight built to keep you warm and protected from sudden storms, wet roads, and cold, windy conditions.

Fabric and wind protection

The main fabric is a breathable three-layer construction treated with Acqua Zero Eco, a hydrophobic finish that Giordana says bonds to the fibers to repel water. Giordana notes the treatment lets the fabric absorb very little water, so it stays lighter than an untreated fabric and keeps its breathability even when soaked.

The third layer is a wind-resistant membrane, and Giordana places it strategically: it starts at the middle of the body where the legs meet the torso, then runs down over the thigh, knee and shin. Those are the areas that take the wind head-on while you pedal. New gusseted stitches at the knee are intended to improve mobility without restricting leg articulation.

Details

Zippered cuffs at the ankle make the tights easier to get on and off over shoes or socks. Reflective stripe accents on the lower legs add visibility, and the chamois is Giordana's Cirro S. The fabric is 94% polyester and 6% elastane. Care is a cold machine wash at 30° C, no bleach, no iron, hang or lay flat to dry.

It comes in black, sizes XS through 3XL.

The RA Perspective

The AV Windfront is a bib tight for riders who ride in cold, wet and windy weather. It is not a standard thermal tight. The wind-resistant membrane is placed at the front of the body, from where the legs meet the torso down across the thigh, knee and shin, which are the areas that take the wind while you pedal.

The Acqua Zero Eco finish repels water and, as Giordana describes it, holds very little of it, so the tights stay lighter and keep breathing when wet. The gusseted knee stitching is a useful detail too. Winter tights can feel restrictive at the knee, and this panel is designed to give you freedom of movement in that spot.

The tradeoff is the same one we mention for any treated winter tight: the membrane is wind resistant, not a full wind block, and the finish is water repellent, not waterproof. In a hard downpour you will still get wet, and a three-layer fabric will feel warm on a mild day. Giordana does not publish a temperature range, so use these for properly cold rides rather than shoulder-season days.

We like the zippered ankles for getting the tights on over shoes and socks without a fight. The Cirro S chamois comes built in, so there is nothing else to wear underneath. They suit riders who commute or train in cold, damp climates and want a dedicated winter bottom.
