   From the inside out, the Craft Elite Bib Tight is designed not only for comfort, but unparalleled on the bike performance and weather protection. Featuring the Swedish brand's Craft Elite sized chamois, a beautifully warm brushed inner, wind proof frontal outer and 360 degree reflectivity, Craft's Elite Bib Tight is the ultimate choice for cool weather riding this season. For the Elite Pad or 'Chamois', Craft's revelation is that the pad is sized differently for each size of bib tight. A small sized bib houses a smaller pad than the medium for example, so as a rider you no longer have to put up with a pad that is universally sized. Getting down to details, the Elite pad is a 4 way stretch compound that continually moves with the body. It is seamless, anatomically moulded, antimicrobial and gender specific, and made from Oeko-Tex certified fabrics and foams of the highest quality. The Elite Bib Tight is a testament to Craft 's attention to detail, from the ankle zippers at the leg entry points, all the way to the reduced bib construction at the shoulders and the back which allow the rider's other garments to function perfectly.
 Designed in Sweden, and with experience gathered from their unrivaled Cross Country Skiing and Run markets, Craft make some of the world's most advanced, researched and tested cycle clothing & base layers.  For 2011, Craft is the apparel sponsor for the new Team Luxembourg Cycling Project, code named 'Leopard'. Featuring amongst other internationally acclaimed cyclists, Andy and Frank Schleck, Fabian Cancellara, Daniele Bennati and Jens Voigt, this is one Pro Cycling team that will aim to win not only the early season Classics, but Le Tour in July. The website for the Leopard Project can be visited here: http://www.leopardtrek.lu/ elite bike collection Designed for top performance, the Craft Elite Bike collection is for riders who demand nothing but the best. The collection embodies attention to details, low weight, maximum moisture transportation, unparalleled aerodynamics as well as superb ergonomics and fit. Mesh fabrics with outstanding ventilation as well as compression fabrics for optimal performance and recovery are part of the Elite Bike collection, all of which helped the Craft sponsored Pro Tour Team Saxobank, to win the 2008 Tour de France.

9 reviews for Craft Elite Bib Long Tight
by Kristof D'Haeseleer from Belgium on 15/12/2010
Great tights for cold weather riding. These have kept me toasty at 0°C - they feel snug and comfortable - keep wind out. Haven't tried them in rain yet but they kept me dry after a four hour ride on wet and muddy roads.
As mentioned in other reviews, these come long in the legs, so you may have to downsize... I like the length as it stays firmly in place around the ankles.
Point of attention are the zippers - they tend to open (for about an inch) while riding, which is a bit annoying as the inside of the legs is finished with rubber strips at the ankles. Maybe there's a trick to that as it doesn't happen on every ride :-/

When I opened the packing they reminded me some motorcycle pants for the ergonomic shape on legs and knees due to an excellent multi-panel construction. As for the sizing I got legs long 84cm with circumference of 53-41cm(upper leg)and 36cm (calf) and the size S is almost 2cm long and wide for me, also on the hips (92cm my measurement)but maybe the braces on a XS could be short for me (height 176cm). Used this tights for a 5C° sunny ride and they did a good work: very useful the front windstopper panel, with a double layer on the knees, warm and comfy the inside textile and efficient the multidensity gel chamois.

excellent bib for the northern climate bit long in the leg
had to move down a size.

Very warm and a good fit, what you would expect from a £100 pair of tights. Time will tell if they stand up to the rest of the winter weather.

very good quality, on the long side, normaly I need xl but l is almost to long, good chamois, but made in china
by chris bennett from United Kingdom on 28/12/2009
These are terrific - thicker in the leg that I was expecting which adds to the warmth factor so is a huge positive. I am 5'10" and ordered medium but these were just too big on me - very long in the leg. Have replaced for a small which fit very well, or did pre xmas anyway. Haven't donned them since the turkey fest of the 25th. I am confident they will still be extremely comfortable, well made as you expect from Craft and importantly warm on the bike.

Superb quality product. They come up long in the leg which is a relief as I have become disillusioned with the fit of Gore tights. I'm 6ft and a medium fits me very well. Extremely comfortable and warm bibtights. Recommended.

I can see where the review below is coming from. I was initially going to buy the L size (i'm 6 foot 1" but with a 38" chest, 33" waist), but after an email with Pete at Always Riding on email, I opted for the medium. Really glad I did, the fit is great, and the overall quality very impressive. I love the wind proof front panels, but my favourite part is the pad. A few club runs have gone over 100 miles recently, and I never once thought about my bum, if you know what I mean! I have Assos bib tights from last year, but the Craft ones are one step ahead, and a lot more inexpensive. Would have been a 5 star, but for the length, so watch out for the sizing, with my advice being to drop a size. 
by Dave Terry from United Kingdom on 03/12/2009
quality was very good, but sizing way out on bibtights, I am 5'9 std build but 33.5 inch legs on Med size way too long and not tight enough on legs. I have other Craft gear ie base layer. T shirt running jacket and Med size is fine on these. Got an in depth product question, or want to ask something else related to this product?
