How do I wash and care for my bib shorts?

What makes the KISS Air2 seat pad special?

Are the cargo pockets secure when riding?

Troubleshooting
Bib straps uncomfortable
Ensure the straps are not twisted and are positioned correctly over your shoulders. Adjust the jersey to sit smoothly over the straps.
Leg grippers slipping
Ensure the leg endings are positioned correctly on the thigh. If the issue persists, ensure the garment is the correct size and that the skin underneath is clean and dry before wearing.
Pockets feel bulky or uncomfortable
Try distributing gear more evenly between the leg pockets. Avoid overstuffing the pockets. Consider using the back pocket for lighter items.
Seat pad discomfort
Ensure the bib shorts fit correctly. Break in the pad over a few rides as it conforms to your body. Experiment with chamois cream if discomfort persists.
