FAQs
Can I wear underwear under these shorts?
It is not recommended. The chamois is designed to be worn against the skin to prevent chafing and to provide optimal moisture management.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the standard UK dress sizing provided. The polyester fabric offers some stretch, but the bib fit relies on the length of the torso straps.
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, the moisture-wicking fabric and breathable mesh back make these an excellent choice for indoor trainer sessions where overheating is common.
How should I wash the chamois pad?
The chamois is machine washable as part of the shorts. Always use a gentle cycle and avoid high-heat drying to maintain the foam's density.
Does the reflective detailing fade?
If washed according to instructions—inside out and without harsh chemicals—the reflective detailing will remain effective for a significant period.
Troubleshooting
Gel leg grips sliding or not holding
Ensure the skin on your thighs is clean and free from lotions or oils before putting the shorts on, as these substances can interfere with the silicone grip.
Chafing during long rides
Check that the bib straps are not twisted and the chamois is properly centered. Consider using a sport-specific chamois cream if you are prone to friction.
Bib straps feeling too tight
Verify that you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. If you are between sizes, ensure the torso length is accounted for.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity and performance, follow these care instructions:
- Fitting: When putting on your bibs, ensure the straps sit flat across your shoulders to avoid pinching. The shorts should feel snug but not restrictive.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed to be worn without additional undergarments. The integrated chamois is intended for direct contact with the skin to function as designed.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester and the elasticity of the gel grips.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can damage the integrity of the chamois padding and the reflective details.
