FAQs
What is the recommended ride duration for these bib shorts?
These bib shorts are recommended for rides up to three hours, due to the specific design of the Elastic Interface VELOCE WOMEN chamois.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dhb Clothing Sizing chart provided, which includes measurements for Chest, Waist, Hips, and Inseam. Measure yourself accurately and compare to the chart.
Can I wear these bib shorts without underwear?
Yes, cycling bib shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. The chamois provides the necessary padding and moisture-wicking properties.
How should I wash my bib shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not tumble dry. Avoid using fabric softeners.
What is the main benefit of the Elastic Interface VELOCE WOMEN chamois?
The chamois offers advanced design with larger central inserts for better perineal coverage and softer wings in the inner leg area, providing excellent freedom of movement and protection for medium-duration rides.
Are these bib shorts suitable for very long endurance rides (e.g., 6+ hours)?
While comfortable for up to three hours, the chamois is designed for touristic use or shorter racing efforts. For rides exceeding three hours, you might prefer bib shorts with a more substantial chamois.
What is the fabric composition of the shorts?
The main fabric is composed of 78% polyamide (nylon) and 22% elastane (Spandex).
Troubleshooting
Bib straps feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure the straps are positioned correctly over your shoulders. Check the sizing chart for accurate measurements. If the issue persists, the fit may not be ideal for your body shape.
Leg grippers are rolling up or causing discomfort.
Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully so the grippers are flat against the skin. Make sure your legs are clean and dry before putting on the shorts. If irritation occurs, try a different size or brand.
Chamois feels uncomfortable during a ride.
Ensure the chamois is positioned correctly and the shorts are a snug fit. For rides longer than three hours, consider a different pair of bib shorts with more substantial padding. Break-in period may be required for the chamois to conform to your body.
