FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, the breathable mesh straps and moisture-wicking fabric make them an excellent choice for high-intensity indoor sessions.
Can I use chamois cream with these?
Yes, using high-quality anti-chafing cream is recommended for long-distance rides to enhance comfort.
How should the fit feel?
They should feel like a 'second skin.' They are designed to be compressive, so they will feel tighter than traditional athletic shorts.
What is the benefit of the EIT pad?
The EIT Elastic Interface chamois is an industry-standard Italian pad known for superior anatomical shaping and dual-density foam protection.
Is the fabric see-through?
No, the high-quality polyester construction provides excellent opacity and durability for consistent use.
Troubleshooting
Leg grippers sliding up while riding
Ensure the silicone grippers are placed directly against clean skin and are not over top of base layers or leg warmers.
Discomfort in the chamois area
Verify the shorts are pulled up fully so the pad sits flush against the body. If discomfort persists, ensure you are using proper chamois cream to reduce friction.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the position of the wide seamless straps to lay flat. The width is designed to distribute pressure, so ensure they are not twisted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bib shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the bibs are pulled high enough to engage the pre-curved panels correctly. The fabric should feel snug but not restrictive.
- Layering: Wear these shorts directly against your skin; do not wear undergarments underneath, as this will cause chafing and negate the benefits of the chamois.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a cool, delicate cycle (30°C). Always wash with similar colors.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat will degrade the elasticity of the fabric and the structural integrity of the silicone grippers.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological sports detergent to protect the sensitive moisture-wicking properties of the polyester weave.
