FAQs

What is Ride Fit Pro technology?

Ride Fit Pro is a technology engineered by Dare 2b to enhance aerodynamics in the riding position. It minimizes volume and bulk, contributing to greater endurance and comfort by reducing air resistance.

How long can I comfortably cycle with the dual-layer foam chamois?

The dual-layer foam chamois is designed to provide comfort and support for cycling sessions lasting approximately 4 to 6 hours.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

The shorts feature quick-wicking fabrics and a breathable mesh bib, which helps manage moisture and keep you cool. They are generally suitable for warm conditions.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide provided by Dare 2b. The shorts should fit snugly without being restrictive, and the bib straps should lie flat and comfortably on your shoulders.

What does 'Stay Seen' refer to?

'Stay Seen' refers to Dare 2b's reflective technology, which includes reflective print details on the shorts to maximize visibility when you are moving, especially in low-light conditions.

Can I wear padded cycling underwear under these bib shorts?

Bib shorts are typically designed to be worn without additional underwear, as the chamois provides the necessary padding and moisture management. Wearing underwear underneath can sometimes cause chafing and reduce the effectiveness of the chamois.

How should I clean my Vigor Bib Cycling Shorts?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric and reflective features.

Troubleshooting

Bib straps feel uncomfortable or dig in

Ensure the size is correct. Adjust the position of the straps on your shoulders. Check for any wrinkles or bunching in the fabric around the straps.

Chamois feels uncomfortable during a long ride

The chamois is designed for up to 6 hours; consider shorter rides or a different chamois for longer durations. Ensure the shorts are the correct size and not restricting blood flow. Proper saddle height and position can also impact chamois comfort.

Gel gripper tape is sticking to skin or causing irritation

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, consider using a thin base layer underneath or applying anti-chafing balm. Make sure the shorts are not too tight, which can exacerbate pressure from the gripper.

Reflective details are fading

Follow care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or tumble drying, which can degrade reflective elements over time.
