New item Fall/Winter 2024
Updated knee protection for cool, wet conditions, engineered with a warmer textile, water-repellency, and versatility for layering in fall, winter, and spring.
Ideally suited for early spring, late fall, or temperate winter days, the breathability and thermoregulating qualities of the R Winter Knee Warmers P1 provide total comfort in cool, wet, and windy conditions. The warmers’ textile is upgraded for increased warmth – even in wet conditions – and when the temperatures rise and the road dries, they still pack down to stow in a jersey pocket. For added versatility, the low-volume, second-skin fit layers easily beneath the GT Thermo Shell Pants, adding insulation to stormproof protection.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
For cool, wet spring or fall conditions, layer with the R Spring Fall Bib Shorts. For colder, more challenging conditions, layer beneath the GT Thermo Shell Pants.
TECHNOLOGY
FEATURED FABRICS
The RX Extreme textile is our most robust insulator from the RX family. It’s a brushed, thermoregulating warp-knit fabric with high breathability and a waterrepellent treatment – suited for racing in rain and wind with cool temperatures.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our AEPD 11 racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback to envelope the body in 360-degree compression and stability. The grip is designed for security over or under bib shorts.
ENGINEERING
- Acqua Shield Tec: An eco-friendly water-repellent treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the textile surface, maintaining a dry microclimate underneath.
- PILtec Plug-In: A lightweight, ultrabreathable textile band across the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment stabilizes the warmers and shorts, maintaining grip when wet.
- Raw Cut: Lie-flat, low-volume cuffs eliminate friction and bulky hems while layering with shorts and shell pants.
