Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up while pedaling
Check that the silicon gripper is free of oils or lotions and ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly to allow the grippers to make contact with the skin.
Pad feels uncomfortable after long periods
Ensure the bib straps are adjusted for a snug fit, keeping the pad firmly positioned against your body; check that your saddle height is properly aligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bib shorts, always follow the care label instructions. Wash the shorts in a gentle cycle using mild detergent, ideally inside a laundry bag to protect the mesh pockets and straps from snagging. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical performance of the polyester fabric and the moisture-wicking properties of the pad. Ensure that the silicon grippers are clean before every ride to maintain their friction against the skin or leg warmers. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are fully air-dried before folding or packing to prevent mold or moisture buildup in the padding.
