With improvements in fabric production and garment technology, it's now possible to get some really decent road cycling kit without blowing your budget. British cycling retailer Evans Cycles got in on the act several years ago with its own FWE range of cycling kit and we've taken a closer look at its women's thermal bib tights.

The FWE range is Evans Cycles' in-house brand, covering everything from clothes to cycling accessories, lights, tools and more.
Expanded for 2017, the women's FWE clothing range includes shorts, bib tights, long and short-sleeved jerseys, waterproof jackets — and even caps if you fancy going for a top-to-toe look. Evans has opted for plain block colours rather than patterns, with the majority of the women's range available in either black, turquoise, blue or coral.

Overall, the kit is competitively priced and is similar in terms of technical fabrics, cut and performance to other products at a similar price point currently available on the market. However, there were a few features of the thermal bib tights that made it into the negative column.

I'll start with the positives.
Firstly, the thermal fabric is warm and copes well with rides down to about two or three degrees Celsius. Zips at the ankle combined with a wide, fine elasticated cuff keep the leg securely in place and the reflective details on the ankle and rear are well placed and add a degree of visibility — though the top part of the rear reflective stripe is covered when wearing a jersey or jacket.
