Full details
Designed for female cyclists seeking comfort on long rides, the Endura Loop Bib Shorts offer superior moisture-wicking and a supportive gel pad. A potential caveat is the relaxed fit, which may not suit riders preferring a compression feel. These bib shorts are crafted from rapidly wicking Nylon for fast-drying performance, featuring a 400 Series multi-density gel pad with micro-wicking technology for enhanced saddle comfort. They also include durable flatlocked seams, raw edge hem bands with silicone grippers for a secure fit, and two convenient side leg pockets for essentials.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these bib shorts suitable for very hot weather?
The rapidly wicking fabric helps manage sweat, making them suitable for warm conditions. However, for extreme heat, some riders might prefer even lighter, more mesh-focused designs. The gel pad also includes micro-wicking technology to aid comfort.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The bib shorts have a 'Ride Fit' which is relaxed but tailored. They should feel snug but not constricting. The shoulder straps should be comfortable, and the leg grippers should hold firmly without being too tight. Refer to the Endura sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear underwear with bib shorts?
No, bib shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin. The chamois pad is made to be worn without underwear to prevent chafing and manage moisture effectively.
How often should I wash my bib shorts?
It's recommended to wash bib shorts after every use to maintain hygiene and fabric performance. Follow the specific care instructions to ensure longevity.
What is the main benefit of the multi-density gel pad?
The multi-density gel pad provides targeted support and shock absorption in key areas, reducing pressure and fatigue during long rides. The micro-wicking technology within the pad also helps keep the area dry.
Can the leg pockets hold a smartphone?
The leg pockets are designed for essentials like gels, keys, or a small energy bar. While some smaller smartphones might fit, larger models may be too bulky or cause discomfort during riding.
Troubleshooting
Bib straps digging in
Adjust the position of the straps to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the jersey is not bunched up under the straps.
Leg grippers rolling up
Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully and the grippers are sitting flat against the skin. Make sure the leg circumference is appropriate for the gripper size.
Chafing from seams
Verify that the flatlocked seams are positioned correctly against the skin and are not folding or bunching. Applying a cycling-specific chamois cream can also help.
Gel pad feels uncomfortable
The gel pad may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter rides initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the shorts are the correct size.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Endura Loop Bib Shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a delicate cycle with mild detergent.
- Detergent: Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the fabric's wicking properties and the gel pad.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
