FAQs
What is the benefit of the 600 series pad?
The 600 series pad uses computer-cut multi-density foam and gel inserts to provide variable thickness where it is needed most, maximizing comfort for long-distance riding.
Can I use these for winter riding?
Yes, the DropSeat function is specifically designed to make winter riding easier by allowing for comfort breaks without removing your outer layers.
How should I wash these bib shorts?
Machine wash in cold water using mild detergent and air dry; do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Does the DropSeat require a zipper?
No, the design is completely zip-free, utilizing high-stretch fabric technology to maintain security and ease of use.
What does UPF50 mean for these shorts?
The fabric is rated UPF50, meaning it blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, protecting your skin during long, sunny rides.
Are the leg grippers effective?
Yes, they use a silicone print gripper on raw-edge hems to keep the shorts in place without excessive pressure on the thighs.
Troubleshooting
Leg grippers slipping during rides
Ensure the silicone strips are clean and free of lotion or sunscreen, as these can reduce grip.
Discomfort in the chamois area
Check that the shorts are pulled up fully and correctly aligned, as the multi-density pad works best when properly centered against the anatomy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure the bib shorts fit snugly without being restrictive, as the integrity of the DropSeat mechanism relies on the fabric's natural tension. For care, wash the garments in cold water using a mild, non-biological detergent to protect the Silver Dry® antibacterial agents. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone print grippers and reduce the breathability of the Lycra fabric. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the elastic components and the gel-padded insert.
