The Etxeondo Orhi Hydro Long Cycling Tights featured here at Escapa are among the most advanced winter cycling tights from this Basque brand, designed for cyclists who train and compete when cold, damp conditions, and light rain are part of the route. Inspired by the demands of professional cycling, they combine thermal protection, a water-repellent treatment, and one of the best chamois pads on the market to deliver maximum performance during long days on the bike.
Its design aims to maintain a stable body temperature even in adverse weather conditions, without compromising breathability or freedom of movement.
Thermosystem Hydrorepellent Technology
The key to the Orhi Hydro lies in the exclusive Thermosystem Hydrorepellent fabric, developed by Etxeondo to combine thermal insulation, elasticity, and moisture resistance. It incorporates an ultra-thin water-repellent layer that helps limit water penetration on days with light rain or on wet roads, while keeping its breathability and thermal regulation properties intact.
In addition, its quick-drying fibers effectively wick sweat away to the outside to maintain a constant feeling of comfort.
Professional-Grade Urraki Chamois
It features the renowned Urraki chamois, the same one used by professional cyclists. Its construction utilizes different viscoelastic foams of varying densities strategically placed according to the support area, offering excellent vibration absorption and a high level of comfort on long rides.
As is standard with Etxeondo chamois pads, it is manufactured without adhesives or prints to reduce the risk of irritation and improve thermal management. It also features an antibacterial treatment.
Seamless chamois straps for total comfort
The suspenders are made from a single, seamless piece, providing even support and eliminating pressure points or chafing during longer rides.
This construction significantly improves comfort and contributes to a premium fit on the bike.
Optimized protection for wet days
To further improve performance in the rain, Etxeondo minimizes the number of seams and eliminates unnecessary elements such as the back embroidery, thereby minimizing potential entry points for water.
Reflective details on the back increase visibility and safety during rides on dark or low-light days.
Sun protection and lightweight design
Despite its thermal properties, the fabric remains lightweight and offers SPF 50+ (UVA) protection, providing an extra layer of defense against the sun’s rays during long training sessions.
