VeloVixen's Orkaan Tights are designed in close collaboration with our friends at Stolen Goat. They're made from Tempest fabric that is both wind and water resistant. Even though they are supremely effective against inclement weather, they're also designed to ensure you don't overheat thanks to the breathable properties of the fabric.
Like all Orkaan products , the water repellency is manufactured into the fabric so it wont wash out or fade over time. The fit and feel is identical to a non-weatherproof pair of cycling tights, but as you ride in rain you'll be able to watch the water bead and trickle off your legs. Winning!
The all important chamois pad has been rigorously tested by pros to ensure the construction and placement is perfect. It's also been constructed from anti-bacterial and quick-drying fabric to help you stay as fresh as possible.
Combine them with the rest of the VeloVixen range of jerseys, jackets, arm and neck warmers and before you know it you'll be living the dream as a fully fledged cycling Vixen!
- Tempest material is water repellent and wind resistant - water simply beads and rolls off.
- The water resistance is manufactured into the garment and so no amount of washing will remove or lessen the effect.
- Wind Resistant - yet breathable.
- Premium fit
- Minimal seams for maximum comfort
- Fleecy, breathable Roubaix lining.
- Integrated back panel.
- Pro developed chamois.
- Weatherproofing from manufacture (it won't fade with washing)
- Perfect for temperatures from 4 to 17°c
