Pas Normal Studios
The Pas Normal Studios Men's PAS Mechanism Thermal Long Bibs are race-focused thermal cycling tights designed for fast training and longer efforts in cold, variable conditions. Crafted in Italy from M.I.T.I. SuperRoubaix fleece fabric, they combine effective insulation with high stretch and abrasion resistance for unrestricted movement throughout demanding winter rides.
A C0 DWR treatment adds protection against light rain and road spray while maintaining the breathability of the fleece construction. Ergonomically shaped legs follow the riding position closely, while an internal hem elastic with a silicone grid gripper keeps the tights securely positioned without restricting movement.
Fleeced shoulder straps add warmth around the upper body while retaining breathability through their mesh structure. A four-layer chamois with quick-drying antimicrobial membranes provides support and moisture management during longer efforts, while reflective detailing improves visibility in low-light winter conditions.

Alba Optics
The ABR1 Pocket Bib Shorts are made for the longest days on the bike. Albion developed them with ultra-distance riders, and they've been ridden to wins and record times on the Tour Divide, the Atlas Mountain Race and the Highland Trail 550. If your rides are measured in hours rather than kilometres, start here.
Two mesh leg pockets and a rear side-entry pocket let you carry a phone, gels or a wind jacket without touching your jersey pockets. That's handy on gravel and bikepacking trips, and just as useful on a long road day. Everything stays reachable while you ride.
The Albion x Elastic Interface chamois is built for long hours in the saddle. The 2025 update adds a higher gauge main fabric for more compression and polypropylene-knit straps that move moisture away faster. A hidden Rear Guard panel above the pad makes the shorts last longer.
An on-bike fit that runs true to size, with a reduced number of panels and flatlock seams. Our studio model is 180 cm (chest 91 cm, inner leg 80 cm) and wears size S. Want to compare them with your current bibs? Try them on in one of our stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam.
