Men's Vertex WX-D Bib Tight

Born in the deep winter conditions of the Colorado Front Range, the Vertex WX-D Thermal Bib Tight is our most advanced cold-weather bib—built for riders who don’t hang it up when temperatures drop below freezing. Reengineered with recycled materials and a refined fit, it’s designed to handle the full brutality of winter: freezing air, biting wind, cold rain, sleet, snow, and relentless wheel spray.

The main body features a DWR-treated, recycled thermal fleece that offers breathable insulation with excellent stretch and mobility. For added protection in critical exposure zones—like the crotch, seat, and lower legs—we’ve integrated a stretch-nylon laminate that is both windproof and waterproof. This 3-layer paneling is carefully placed to block the elements while maintaining on-bike freedom of movement.

The fit has been updated for improved articulation in the riding position, with overlapping seam construction above the chamois to minimize wet-through and enhance comfort during long hours in the saddle. Super-bright, 350+ lumen reflective elements on the calves ensure visibility in low light, where movement catches the eye best.

Every detail of the Vertex was tested and proven in Colorado’s harshest conditions—from icy canyon descents to pre-dawn, snow-lined commutes. If you ride year-round, this isn’t just gear. It’s your armor.

• Full length recycled Italian-milled fleece with C0 DWR coating for water and mud resistance.
• Recycled nylon-laminate for wind and water proofing in critical areas; crotch, top of legs, shins and lower back/upper chamois area. Dimensional fleece traps warm air for the ultimate cold-weather application.
• Fleece is continued to kidney and stomach area for full coverage, while the back is made from a breathable mesh for temperature regulation. New comfortable but sturdy straps hold everything in place.
• Redesigned seaming and fit improves articulation in riding position.
• Reflective details throughout for enhanced low-light visibility.
• New premium molded chamois from Elastic Interface® provides 8+ hours of comfort for all-day training rides.

The most notable feature of the Vertex Tight is the use ofzoned fabric placements. This means we utilized stretchy and soft Storm+ fleece in the flex-points of legs and hips, while also strategically placing fleece-backed, 3-layer membrane in areas which require more coverage, such as the low-back area above the chamois and other primary wet-out areas like the top of legs, calves and shins. This ensures maximum mobility while also providing excellent protection from tire-spray on wet rides. Uppers are made from a durable, single layer, raw-edge cut fabric. We have minimized the uppers to reduce bulk and increase breathability so that moisture will transfer away off the body, thereby maintaining a comfortable riding humidity and temperature throughout your cold weather adventure. This lightweight construction allows for more stretch and better comfort across a range of rider body shapes.
