FAQs
What makes these bib shorts suitable for all types of riding?
The combination of supportive, dense-knit fabric, chafe-minimizing flatlock seams, and secure leg grippers provides comfort and performance across various cycling disciplines.
How do the leg grippers work?
The leg grippers are laser-cut and lined with soft silicone. This design ensures the shorts stay in place comfortably without pinching or creating a tourniquet effect.
Can I wear these bib shorts with a regular t-shirt?
While designed to be worn with cycling jerseys, you can wear them with a t-shirt. However, the bib straps are intended to be worn over the shoulders for optimal fit and comfort.
What is the main difference between the black and white bib options?
The primary difference is the colour of the bib straps. The all-black version is designed for maximum discretion, while the white bib option provides a subtle visual contrast and may prevent straps from showing through very light-coloured jerseys.
What is the material composition of the bib shorts?
The bib shorts are made from 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, support, and stretch.
How should I wash my bib shorts?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying. Hang dry is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leg grippers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the grippers feel too tight, the shorts might be too small. If they slip, the shorts may be too large. The silicone lining should provide grip without constriction.
Bib straps are uncomfortable
Adjust the straps to sit smoothly on your shoulders. The high-stretch material should allow for a comfortable fit without excessive tension. Ensure the shorts are pulled up sufficiently.
Chafing occurs during rides
Verify that the flatlock seams are positioned correctly and not digging into the skin. Ensure the shorts are the correct size and fit snugly without being restrictive. Consider using chamois cream if the issue persists.
