If you're determined to maintain and build your cycling fitness over winter, then the Women's Progel Plus Thermal Tights will keep you cosy and warm as you build up your training miles.

To the waist, the improved soft-feel waistband maintains a firm fit but without too much pressure over the tummy. This allows you to breathe easy during your harder training efforts and allows easy movement too. Women's Berenis™ Progel Plus Seat Pad Using an Altura-exclusive moulded design, the Progel Plus pad is rated for comfort on rides of four hours and beyond. Dual-density foam provides a balance of support and shock absorption while the rooted gel is also utilised to ensure the pad retains its anatomical shape ride after ride.

A longer length cuff prevents water entry and increases warmth at the wrists. A great open water specific training tool that also helps keep hands warm. Metal cell is a thin slice of silver neoprene that is glued to the jersey liner keeping the jersey from direct contact with the water. Water absorption therefore becomes non-existent, while warmth is maximized since your body has less water to heat. Metal cell is coated with SCS to make sliding on and off easier. SCS is a neoprene treatment that provides minimal friction and ensures optimal hydrodynamics.
The Armea Thermal came about when HUUB were asked to take one of their best selling suits and add a thermal lining designed to be extra warm and smooth to the skin. Designed with a 2:3 buoyancy combination and glide skin neoprene, the HUUB Armea wetsuit works to improve your body positioning for maximum drag reduction so you can move quickly in the water. This comes from extensive research in the field, collaborations with the likes of the Brownlee Brothers alongside other fast triathletes and extensive scientific testing. Specific panel placements and 1.5mm underarm thickness allow you to flex and move with ease so you can perform at your best and make the most of every stroke, while speed cut ankles and smooth skin cuffs ensure a fast transition.
