The article advocates for winter cycling shorts, particularly in situations where indoor training is a norm. While winter bib tights are ideal for extreme cold, thermal shorts can be more versatile for mild conditions. They are especially useful for gravel riding and deal with winter muck effectively. The author shares personal experience with Endura's FS260-Pro Thermo bib shorts, emphasizing their affordability and suitability as an essential piece of cycling gear. The material features, such as fleece-backed Lycra and water-repellent coatings, enhance comfort and usability.
I find winter shorts come into their own in spring and fall, where they help keep the chill off without running the risk of overheating.
While I have been known to wear them in deepest winter, winter bib shorts are particularly good for gravel riding, as it's either your bare legs or your usually cheaper leg warmers.
Endura's FS260-Pro Thermo bib shorts are relatively inexpensive, often on sale, and will make a useful addition to most riders’ 'just in case' wardrobe.
The main difference between winter bib shorts and their summer counterparts is the use of fleece-backed Lycra, providing extra warmth and comfort.
