FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While designed for road and gravel, the cargo features make them versatile enough for various forms of cycling where extra storage is needed.
Can I put a phone in the cargo pockets?
Yes, the pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials like smartphones, nutrition, or tools.
How should I wash them to keep the gel inserts intact?
Wash on a delicate cycle in a laundry bag and avoid high-heat drying.
Is the chamois thick or thin?
It is a performance-oriented chamois with integrated gel designed to be supportive without being excessively bulky.
Do I need to wear underwear with these?
No, cycling bib shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin for the best moisture management and to prevent chafing.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight around the waist
Ensure the bib straps are correctly positioned on the shoulders to lift the waist section properly.
Chamois feels shifted while riding
Check that the shorts are pulled up sufficiently before beginning your ride and that the bib straps are not twisted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure the shorts sit high on the waist so the bib straps lie flat against your chest without twisting. These shorts are fully compatible with standard road and gravel cycling jerseys and base layers. When it comes to care, wash the shorts in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the pockets from snagging on other items. Use a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric. Always hang dry to preserve the elasticity of the bibs and the integrity of the chamois gel inserts.
