FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the EGM pad?
The EGM pad uses medical-grade elastomers to better dissipate pressure and reduce friction, significantly increasing comfort on long rides.
Can these be used in heavy rain?
While they feature a DWR finish for protection against spray and light rain, they are not fully waterproof, so heavy downpours will eventually permeate the fabric.
How does the drop-seat design work?
The design allows the rear portion of the bibs to be lowered without needing to remove your jersey, facilitating quick bathroom stops.
Are these suitable for autumn temperatures?
Yes, the breathable windproof fabric makes them versatile for varying conditions from cool autumn days to mid-winter.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the elastic materials.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less water-repellent after multiple washes.
The DWR finish may need reactivation. Clean the garment and re-apply a technical water-repellent treatment, then air dry.
Pad feels uncomfortable during the first ride.
Ensure the bib is pulled up correctly to align the EGM pad with your sit bones; sometimes slight adjustments in positioning make a significant difference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Endura Pro SL EGM BibTight, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure the bibs are snug but not restrictive; the multi-panel construction is designed to align with your anatomy when in the cycling position.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle using a mild technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they degrade the water-repellent (DWR) coating.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the elastomer pad and the integrity of the technical fabrics.
- Re-treating: After heavy use or repeated washing, consider using a wash-in DWR refresher to maintain the water-repellent properties of the fabric.
