Pas Normal Studios Mechanism Deep Winter Long Bibs review: exceptionally warm tights in a race-fit style

Pas Normal Studios Mechanism Deep Winter Long Bibs photographed from the front.

The Pas Normal Studios Mechanism Deep Winter Tights are made from a three-layer fabric that features a Windtex Pro membrane. Internally, there’s brushed fleece with a grid structure to provide warmth against the skin. Externally the tights feature a DWR treatment, which in conjunction with the membrane aims to make these highly weatherproof. The internal fleece grid structure is designed to improve both insulation and breathability by enabling a level of internal airflow. Legs are ergonomically shaped to better fit around the knee with a slight articulation, while the front of the tights is raised to provide additional warmth around the trunk and stomach area. The straps are elastic and soft, with a mesh rear to aid breathability.

The race fit, designed to stop fabric bunching around the waist, does make for tight shoulder straps when standing up straight. Assuming the riding position alleviates this. (Image credit: Future/Andy Turner)
