Description

Designed for when you want the added warmth and cover but without the bibs. The Altura Progel Plus Women's Cycling Waist Tights incorporate our 3D Progel Plus pad, engineered using Italian materials and an innovative moulded design exclusive to Altura.

The pad includes dual density foam and rooted gel which not only provides excellent comfort but will retain its anatomical shape - ride after ride.

The tights feature a 260gsm brushed back fabric to deliver the essential warmth needed for cooler rides and a durable DWR coating to repel unexpected showers and road spray. For practicality we have added a useful little stash pocket at the hip for loose change or a key.

We have also improved the level of comfort with a deeper, "soft feel" waist band that helps prevent chafing while added reflective details help to keep you visible to others at all times.

Nice tights

Nice tights just one point the pad is a little big but will probably fit better after a few more rides. The weather was poor rain off and on but they kept me dry

Very comfortable. Order a size up!

These trousers are really comfortable. Normally I wear size 8-10. However, I had to return size 10 and order size 12, which fit
perfectly. The colour purple is great.

Ideal for commuting and shorter journeys

Ideal for commuting and shorter journeys. Suitable to wear around shops etc. Would choose bib set for longer club rides. Warm and windproof.

I love the fit of these ladies cycling tights

I love the fit of these ladies cycling tights. They are high waisted, have a good pad and good reflective bits.
I have immediately ordered the same ones in thermal for next winter.
Prompt delivery service and a quick refund on the alternative size I purchased. Good customer service. It's all good 👍

I didn’t find these comfortable when I tried on

I didn’t find these comfortable when I tried on. The pad felt too bulky and the lags too long. The pad appeared damaged as it had been folded in half when packed leaving permanent lines across the centre which I think would cause friction when wearing so I returned

Warm and snug.

Lovely and warm and supportive for the leg muscles for the current shoulder months. The leg length is incredibly long. Lovely colour, a welcome relief from black.

Whilst these are long they also cut me in half whilst cycling home from work.

This is my first pair of proper cycling tights and fit me perfectly, plenty padding and long enough for my long legs, love the colour.

Just right

Great padding, nice night waist that doesn’t dig in. Length is good so ankles don’t get cold and the stretch is great for ease of movement. Very happy.

Great cycle leggings

Comfortable leggings in good material, that brushes clean easily. Padding is helpful - if a little bulky. They are super long but bunch up easily so not a problem. The side pocket is really helpful with a fold over top to keep your phone or anything else secure.

Lovely tights

Really nice looking pair of tights. Nice to have colours other than black or navy. Fit true to size. I chose a size 10 as some reviews said came up small and although these fit okay I think I could have got away with my usual 8 as plenty of stretch. Nice high waist band. Did find a bit long in leg as I’m only 5’4”. Very comfortable.
Kept me plenty warm today in 5 degrees.
Only negative is after only one short ride the seat area has already started to bobble so hope they will last.

Great fit

Very comfy fit. Looking fwd to trying it out on the bike. I like the hi viz markings. Mostly I like the feel of the material . . soft and non-restrictive.

Tights

Nor great. I have above average length legs and these are too long. Way too long.
Also lots of loose stitching which is not a great indicator of quality.
So ok but do not represent value for money. Neither is it worth paying to return.

Womens tights

I thought they were lovely tights, however, slightly small. The largest size available was 16 - I am usually somewhere between 14 - 18, so knowling they may be tight I thought 16 would be OK.

I then bought 18 in a slighlty different style and they fit better, so they are quite a small fit. Both pairs are great quality.

Comfortable tights

These tights are really comfortable! The material is so soft. The waistband seems to fold over during use, which isn't a problem as they are quite high-waisted (this might just be my shape though!) Easy to get on, they provide adequate padding. However, I have noticed what looks like a couple of small areas of snagging where I may have rubbed something against the material but I'm hoping this is only temporary.

Waist Tights- Purple Size 12:Medium

I don’t like ankle zips nor bibs and these tights have neither. Lightly fleece lined, not thick. I have long legs but tights still wrinkled round ankle, hoping with first wash they’ll tighten up a bit. Comfortable on 35 mile cycle today, comfortable pad. Purple colour was admired, not too bright, a nice change from black. Apart from wrinkly ankles I am happy with them.

Smart Cycling Wear.

I think the cycling tights look smart and stylish.
Unfortunately I find the padding insufficient as only after a nine mile ride I felt sore. This is disappointing as one of reasons I purchased them was they were advertised as suitable for four hours cycling.

Too long

These seemed nice tights, but were way too long for me. I am 5' 5" and usually a size 14, but I find sports clothing usually comes up small so bought the 16. These were a very snug fit, but way too long so I had to return them, spending £8 on postage overall for an item which was of no use to me. If they had been only slightly too long I would have kept them for this reason. Inside leg measurements in the sizing section would be an easy remedy.

Perfect

Great product, comfortable, warm and nice not to have boring black. I normally have to go up a size I'm sports gear, but these are true to size.
