Giordana Fusion Bib Tight Women's

During those long, cold miles we put in between race seasons, nothing can spoil a ride faster than an unfortunate, stinging gap between jacket and tights. The Fusion Women's Bib Tights are Giordana's answer to this, as the bibs help ensure that your lower back doesn't suffer the abuse your exposed face and wrists inevitably do as gaiters slip down and jacket sleeves fail to adequately protect the long of limb.

When combined with the malleable fabric, this shape anatomically conforms to your body's contours while providing complete freedom of movement. To preserve the fit while in motion, Giordana pairs the bib straps wit...
