FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for racing?
Yes, the Premio bibshorts are engineered for both long-distance training and high-performance racing due to their aerodynamic profile and muscle-supporting fabric.
How should I wash the Premio bibshorts?
Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag and always hang to dry.
What is the benefit of the Progetto X2 Air pad?
It provides a dual-layer system that separates skin protection from cushioning, significantly reducing friction and increasing airflow.
Do I need to apply chamois cream?
While the Skin Care Layer is designed to be soft and friction-free, many long-distance riders still prefer a thin layer of chamois cream for personal preference.
Are the leg grippers silicone-free?
Yes, they use rubberized yarns integrated directly into the fabric to hold the shorts in place without the irritation often caused by traditional silicone strips.
Troubleshooting
Shorts shifting during ride
Ensure the bib straps are pulled evenly over both shoulders and the leg openings are pulled up high enough to engage the rubberized yarns against the skin.
Visible wear on leg grippers
Check that you are not using aggressive detergents or high-heat drying, both of which can break down the specialized rubberized yarns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the bibs are pulled high to allow the seat pad to sit correctly against your anatomy. Because of the technical weave of the fabric, these shorts should be hand-washed or machine-washed on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry in the shade to protect the integrity of the rubberized leg yarns and the seat pad foam. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the breathability of the technical fibers and degrade the effectiveness of the gel inserts.
