Altura Progel Plus Women's Cycling Bib Tights review – good value, shoulder season option

When looking for your next best MTB pants or choosing your next new pair of bib tights, you need to consider what is important to you; maybe you look for premium chamois quality for longer rides or weather protection and comfort. There are features such as material and construction or how they feel while riding, whether for a bikepacking adventure or a local gravel jaunt.

These tights have a different design from the ‘norm’ you find with women's bib tights. They provide extra coverage at the front; in fact, the fabric covers the front similar to a vest top would. This is perfect for better protection from the cold chill in the air during winter/fall rides. The other unique feature is the rear clip to fasten them up. It is similar to a sports bra and offers that little extra support around the bust. Simple things, but some may like tight support around the upper body. Of course, when there are buckles and fastenings involved, this can also result in a negative reaction to what should be something simple.
