FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While designed primarily for road cycling, they can be used for mountain biking, though the nylon fabric may be susceptible to snags from trailside vegetation.
Should I wear underwear with these bib shorts?
No, these are designed to be worn without underwear to prevent chafing and to allow the chamois pad to function as intended.
How should I wash my Altura Progel Bib Shorts?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Do not tumble dry or iron.
What is the material composition?
These shorts are constructed from high-quality, durable nylon designed for performance and elasticity.
Are they suitable for night riding?
Yes, they feature reflective detailing to help improve your visibility to other road users in low-light conditions.
What does the 3D chamois do?
The Progel 3D chamois is anatomically shaped to provide targeted pressure relief and support for the sit bones during long rides.
Troubleshooting
Chamois discomfort during ride
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly and the bib straps are not twisted; verify that you are not wearing undergarments underneath.
Fabric losing compression over time
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they coat the fibers and interfere with the performance of the technical nylon material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the bib straps sit flat against your shoulders without twisting. These shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin to maximize the effectiveness of the chamois pad.
Care instructions include washing in cool water at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the elasticity of the nylon and the technical properties of the 3D chamois. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the technical fibers.
