The GRAN FONDO road cycling tights, dry winter, warm winter
The GRAN FONDO road cycling tights are the newest addition to our collection of cycling clothing for the rain and cold. With its specific chamois and its fleece interior, you will have no more excuses not to ride.
Who says winter says low temperatures, rain rain or hail, gusts of vent… The GRAN FONDO road cycling tights have been designed with Blizzard fabric, from SITIP . Made in Italy, this material is very comfortable to wear. The inside of the garment is fleece, and the outside has been covered by a water repellent treatment. The goal ? Ensure a little warmth while riding, while protecting against rain and possible mud projections.
You have to know how to equip yourself well to be able to leave in the cool on Sunday morning, but also to not be in pain. Cause there's nothing worse than catching cold, and to have crotch pain, the fault of poorly placed skin inserts. We use the skin of “Combi men” chamois for our road cycling tights. Made by Elastic Interface, an Italian specialist, this insert is ideal for long distances. The density is not the same depending on the pressure zones, and allows you to be comfortably installed in the saddle for hours.
The GRAN FONDO road cycling tights are available in black or navy blue. For safety reasons, reflective logos were added on the left thigh and buttock. Enough to remain visible to motorists, even in low light.
When you put on shoe covers, make sure to cover them with the ends of your tights road bike. In case of rain or splashes, this will prevent water from seeping in between the two. If you don't have one yet, a mudguard is a very useful accessory to place on the back of the bike to prevent water splashes from the wheels damaging the rain cycling tights.
These new winter cycling tights are reminiscent of my last summer collection. My GRAN FONDO shorts indeed has the same characteristics, and above all the same skin, “Combi Men”. Those who already ride with it, know the comfort and stability provided by this insert. For others, I can only advise you to try the adventure ...

tested and approved on Danish roads from October to December but also in May-June leaving early in the morning because it still stings 😀 . really very good quality, and therefore excellent value for money!
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Mehdi for your feedback. Glad that these tights accompany you comfortably on your Danish outings 😉 Good luck.

As always, very satisfied with my purchase, long bib shorts very pleasant to wear but a bit short in leg length.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Arnaud for your opinion.

Hello,
The tights are very comfortable. I was unsure about the size between L and XL, being a little between 2 sizes. Measuring 1,90 I opted for the XL in order to have a little leg length and it's perfect taking the time to adjust the tights properly. For shorts, I think the L is doable…
The “skin” is very comfortable and protects well in the groin area, where it is often problematic when wrinkles form in the shorts.
Very satisfied with my first purchase from Ozio.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Christophe for your opinion. I am delighted that your first purchase from Ozio was a satisfaction. I hope you finish the winter well on your bike. See you soon on our website.

A quick round trip to the after-sales service to go from L to XL and off we go for a long, warm outing in these shorts perfectly designed for temperatures below 5°C. Indeed the shorts are very fitted and the legs seemed a little short to me without having applied your “fitting recommendations”!!!. Perhaps adding support to the sole of the foot would improve the overall look. However, with overshoes it works very well and the OZIO quality is of course there. Nice set with the Element jacket with very good value for money.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you for your opinion. I don't know your height, but XL maybe for tall people. Personally, I'm 1,83m tall and I wear a size S. Maybe there's 1 or 2 cm missing at the bottom, but as you point out, we often wear shoe covers with tights, so it's not visible, and the air does not pass. And if I don't have a shoe cover, I put my socks over my tights 😉 Holding them under the foot would pull the tights down, and the skin would not be well positioned and the straps would not be comfortable on the feet. shoulders. I wish you a wonderful winter on your bike! See you soon.

After several outings of 4 to 5 hours with a just positive temperature but an icy wind, the tights were perfect, no feeling of coldness.
The skin, the textile, the straps marry the body without any discomfort.
I approach the much longer outings without any apprehension.
Ozio products do not disappoint.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Gilles for your feedback on our tights. We are very happy to read that you appreciate the quality of this one 😉 Happy end of winter cycling.

After a few other purchases at OZIO (jackets, swimsuits, shorts and corsairs) which I had been completely satisfied with, I acquired these tights in blue (I don't like to wear black!) and in size M (for 1,71 ,65m and XNUMXKg).
As noted by other users, the fabric is very stretchy and we will insinuate ourselves into these tights in stages, to end up with a very comfortable second skin, soft to the skin and perfectly tight.
Sober and beautiful in appearance, these tights allowed me to take my first morning outings in temperatures close to zero without experiencing the slightest feeling of cold.
I also have no doubts about the durability of these tights given the experience of my previous purchases…
I am more than satisfied with this purchase… but it becomes a habit when I acquire OZIO. Compared to other suppliers, you offer prices that are ultimately very reasonable in comparison with the quality, and in addition, you offer the buyer the satisfaction of contributing modestly to the sustainability of European industry, since the product is " fatto in italia”…
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you very much Sébastien for your loyalty and your comments. We are delighted that these tights, as well as the other Ozio pieces, are suitable for your practice. Good continuation 😉
Michel (Customer confirmed) -
It's my second grand fondo tights, and always happy especially in this very cold period, I like their comfort, I'm 1m71 and 64 kg, I take M, the very small defect (for me) the legs are a little short (not mine huh) but tights. 🙂 🙂
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Michael for your feedback. Weird for the length! I'm 1,83m and wear the S without length problem. The fabric is very stretchy. It is therefore necessary to mount the tights in stages in order to position the fabric correctly. Once the feet are on, the tights must be fitted to the calves, then to the knees, then to the thighs, then to the pelvis, “pulling” the fabric at each stage to position it correctly. You will thus improve what you consider to be a “small defect”. You will tell me…;)

Hello,
When ordering, I hesitated about the size: at my age, I no longer have the skinny line of the perfect cyclist! I, who have always taken "M", I previously bought Ozio shorts in "S" on the advice of Mr. Dauvergne and despite my reluctance, in use they are comfortable and well adapted. Having become slightly overweight since then, I opted for the “M” for the Granfondo tights: at the first fitting, the tights seemed too tight, especially at the level of the crotch. I think this is due to the fact that the “skin” is placed less back than on shorts from other brands and that I hadn't “raised” the tights enough along the legs. After several outings (between 2 and 10°) and placing the shorts as close to the body as possible, I find them in the end very comfortable, warm and adapted to my morphology (1,73m for 72kg). As for the straps, thanks to their width, they are completely forgotten. Last not insignificant detail: the cut-out facilitates “pee breaks”!
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Pascal for your feedback. The fabric is very stretchy, so you have to put on the tights in stages. First put the ankles, then the calves, then the knees, thighs and pelvis. By “unfolding” the fabric at each stage. By doing this, when you get to the crotch, the tights will be ideally positioned and snug against your body. But you're right, you have to take the time to put on the tights and position them well before you go riding. The output will only be better 😉

Hello, first winter outing with these tights, Grenoble region.
Weather between +3 and + 6 degrees north wind, snow around, no rain, rare sun.
Big positive surprise: the adjusted cut, the thermal comfort, the flexibility and the softness of the fabric, the holding of the skin, really it is happiness. So my old vintage shorts will join the agricultural equipment for a new life :+)
1.70m, 67kg. Taken in size M. No wrinkles, no zip at the ankle that rubs the skin, extra flat straps perfectly taut. These tights are like a new skin, it's a real pleasure to use them.

Thank you Jean-Francois for your comment. We are delighted that these tights are suitable for you. You will be able to spend a good winter on your bike 😉! Goodbye.
michel.zonenberg (Customer confirmed) -
Particularly soft tights due to a light fleece inside. Very pleasant to wear in between seasons, it perfectly wicks away perspiration and leaves movement flexible when pedalling.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Michael for your comment. You mention that these tights are very pleasant to wear in the shoulder seasons, but I would like to add that they are also so in winter. It is possible to ride while being warm up to 0 degrees without problem 😉 Very good winter cycling.
PATLAF (Customer confirmed) -
After a few outings < 10°C in the Pyrenees I am satisfied with the tights. I took it in size S. Outings between 2 and 4 hours in the saddle: it is very comfortable on the skin but also in terms of the hold on the legs.
Not disappointed with OZIO products. In the top.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Patrick for your feedback. We are happy to learn of your satisfaction. Have a good winter in the Pyrenees 😉
GUSZ Yves (Customer confirmed) -
Hello,
After 3 outings between 5 and 10°C, I'm satisfied with the tights. 1,76 for 74 kg I took it in size M. A little tight at first (I'm maybe between 2 sizes) it turns out to be very comfortable in the end. To be confirmed when the temperature drops “a little” 😉
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Yves for your feedback. It's normal to feel a little tight when you get new tights. The one we used before had undergone many outings and many washes. So he had relaxed a bit. If you have taken the size that corresponds to your pelvis circumference, you will be comfortably seated! Which seems to be the case 😉 Happy winter cycling.
jfhenin (Customer confirmed) -
What comfort! And a gentle heat throughout my trip by 3 ° C. Once again delighted with this Ozio product!
FYI, taken in size M for a waist size 84cms / hip 96cm / waist 1,78cms. But I like to wear it tight.
The Ozio team -
Great ! By referring to the size chart, you have chosen the perfect size for the way you like to wear your clothes and we are delighted! A big thank you for your trust and loyalty 🙂

Hello,
I was waiting to make a few outings to bring you my feelings about these Aquazero long tights.
Well, I am blown away !!! By its good quality, its comfort which I expected mainly being sensitive to irritation, because I do outings of 3 to 4 hours. To confirm my satisfaction, I recently re-threaded my club shorts, what discomfort behind Aquazero !!! So I will soon invest in summer shorts and I recommend OZIO, Sportingly, ERIC
Oliver Q. -
I tested these Aquazero tights for 3 days in a row in the cool temperatures of January 2021 (+ 2º C). Top quality skin that ensures comfort during repetitions, a well-defined leg at the knee joint, well-adjusted straps, an item that holds up after washing ... I find the "Top Quality Ozio" of previous summer pieces. And its price makes this product essential! I recommend.
Matthew A. -
Hello
Having only started cycling in 2019, I gradually equip myself. I was able to test the performance of the Aquazero in the Beauceron plain today in life size… ..3 - 4 ° C at the start; up to 20 km / h wind and drizzle over a good half of the 70 km outing. Super material, I have not suffered from the cold, the rain (admittedly thin) and very good comfort in the saddle. A real pleasure not to have to lose concentration and energy due to bad “thermal” sensations !!
Olivier D. (Customer confirmed) -
Hello everybody
1,87m, 78kg, as usual for my cycling outfits, I chose size L. The fit both on trial and on the bike suits me perfectly.
During my first outing with these tights, I had the bad luck to be able to test its hydrophobic power since a Breton drizzle accompanied me for more than 20 terminals over the 70km achieved. The test is conclusive.
The small detail that would have been at the top are zips at the bottom of the legs in order to easily put on hot or rain protection (Ozio or Velotoze for example) because the tights are mainly used during periods with the greatest risk of rain. .
The blue color follows perfectly with the Locman blue sailor jersey. The black tights are in adequacy with the gradation 2 yellow or orange (increased visibility in gloomy weather).
I still have to test these tights for 5-6h outings but since the skin is the same as other Ozio products, I have no doubts about its comfort for my seat.
I therefore recommend these tights which guarantee comfort and resistance to all winter weather.
