Gist Kin women's bib tights, 100% Made in Italy: anatomical 6-panel cut, high waist and premium Sorgente Woman chamois for up to 6 hours in the saddle.

True women's tights, not a scaled-down men's pair

Too many "women's" tights are simply men's designs cut shorter. The Kin is designed from the ground up for the female form. Its anatomical 6-panel cut follows the hips and moves with the leg, the high waist keeps your stomach and lower back warm, and the raw-cut straps spread pressure across the shoulders without digging in.

On a par with the great Italian brands

Castelli and Santini have turned women's kit into a genuine craft. The Kin plays in the same league: Italian manufacturing, a chamois dedicated to long distances and the raw-cut finishes usually found on far more expensive tights. For riders who rack up long winter rides, it is one of the best value-for-money tights we know.

Women's size guide

LVR sizing tip: Gist sizes like the Italian brands, meaning a close, race-style fit. If you are between two sizes, go for the larger one. Measure your waist (at the navel) and your hips (at the widest point): these are the measurements that matter most.
