FAQs
What is the primary benefit of RIDE FIT Pro technology?
RIDE FIT Pro technology is engineered with enhanced aerodynamics in the riding position to minimize volume and bulk, allowing for maximum endurance and comfort by reducing drag.
How long can I comfortably cycle with the dual-layer foam chamois?
The dual-layer foam chamois is suitable for approximately 4-6 hours of cycling, offering enhanced moisture management and comfort for extended periods.
Are these shorts suitable for very cold weather cycling?
These shorts are designed with moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics, making them ideal for mild to warm conditions. For very cold weather, layering with thermal tights or leg warmers would be recommended.
How do I ensure the shorts stay in place during my ride?
The shorts feature gel gripper tape at the hem, which helps to secure them in place and prevent them from riding up during your cycling activity.
What is the material composition of these bib shorts?
The shorts are made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane fabric.
How should I clean my Vigor Bib Cycling Shorts?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, do not bleach, do not use fabric softener, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron. This will help maintain their performance and reflective properties.
Can the reflective accents be washed off?
The reflective accents are designed to be durable. However, to preserve them, follow the recommended washing instructions carefully, avoiding high heat and harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart. The RIDE FIT Pro technology is designed to be snug for aerodynamics.
Chafing or discomfort from seams
Ensure the flat-locked seams are positioned correctly against the skin. Try washing the shorts before the first use, as this can soften the fabric.
Chamois feels uncomfortable after several hours
While designed for 4-6 hours, individual comfort varies. Ensure the shorts are clean and the chamois is properly functioning. Consider shorter rides if discomfort persists.
Reflective accents are fading
Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, and ironing, as these can damage the reflective print. Follow the recommended care instructions strictly.
