FAQs
Are these bib shorts suitable for long-distance rides?
Yes, the dual-density EIT chamois is specifically engineered to provide premium comfort for all-day riding.
How does the drop-seat feature work?
The drop-seat design allows you to lower the shorts for comfort breaks without the need to take off your jersey or unclip the bib straps.
What is the modesty panel for?
The modesty panel is located on the upper bib and is designed to provide extra coverage while ensuring efficient airflow and temperature regulation.
Can I put these shorts in the tumble dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry the shorts to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the performance of the chamois.
Do I need to wear underwear under these shorts?
No, cycling bib shorts are designed to be worn without underwear to prevent chafing and allow the chamois to manage moisture effectively.
Are the reflective details visible from the front?
The reflective details are primarily located on the rear for visibility to traffic approaching from behind.
Troubleshooting
Chamois shifting during the ride
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the bib straps are not twisted or stretched out.
Leg grippers causing skin irritation
Ensure the silicone is clean and the grippers are not placed over existing skin irritation; try using a chamois cream to reduce friction.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the straps to ensure they are lying flat and not folded. If the issue persists, verify that the bibs are pulled up correctly at the waist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, these bib shorts should be worn directly against the skin without undergarments to allow the EIT chamois to function as intended. When washing, use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can break down the elasticity of the polyester fabric and the silicone grippers. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the chamois pad and the stretch of the straps. Because the design is a performance fit, ensure you select your correct size; if the shorts feel too loose, the chamois may shift, leading to discomfort during longer rides.
