FAQs
What is the 'Ride Fit'?
The 'Ride Fit' is Endura's designation for a fit that is tailored for both performance and comfort. It is not overly tight like a race fit, nor is it baggy. It aims to provide a balance that works well for a wide range of riders and activities.
How do I care for the silk material?
Wash the bib shorts in cold water (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. It is best to air dry them away from direct heat sources.
Are the cargo pockets suitable for a smartphone?
The cargo thigh pockets are designed to store essentials. While they may fit some smaller smartphones, their primary purpose is for items like gels, keys, or a small multi-tool. Check the dimensions of your phone against the pocket size.
Can I wear these bib shorts without underwear?
Yes, these bib shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin. The multi-density gel pad and moisture-wicking fabric are intended to provide comfort and reduce chafing when worn without traditional underwear.
What is the main benefit of the 400-Series gel pad?
The 400-Series gel pad offers multi-density cushioning for enhanced comfort on longer rides. Its micro-wicking technology also helps to keep the area dry.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shorts should fit snugly but not restrictively. The bib straps should be comfortable, and the leg grippers should stay in place without pinching. Refer to Endura's official sizing chart for the most accurate measurement.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or slip down.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the silicone grippers are clean and making good contact with your skin. Re-adjusting the leg hem position might also help.
Chafing or discomfort during rides.
Verify the sizing is correct. Ensure flatlocked seams are positioned comfortably against the skin. Use a quality chamois cream if necessary. Make sure the gel pad is sitting correctly.
Fabric not wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the garment is clean and free from fabric softeners or residues, which can impede wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions.
