FAQs
Can I use these for indoor trainer sessions?
Yes, the moisture-wicking fabric is well-suited for the heat generated during indoor cycling.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the standard Altura sizing guide based on your waist and hip measurements for the most accurate fit.
Are these shorts suitable for all-weather riding?
They are designed for temperature regulation, but they do not provide windproof or waterproof insulation.
Should I wear underwear with these?
No, cycling bibshorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin to prevent chafing and maximize the benefits of the seat pad.
How often should I wash them?
It is recommended to wash them after every ride to maintain hygiene and ensure the fabric remains effective at wicking sweat.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel tight on shoulders
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly at the hips before securing the straps; if the issue persists, you may need to try a different size.
Legs riding up during a ride
Ensure the skin is clean and free of oils or lotions, which can interfere with the grip of the elastic leg grippers.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid using fabric softeners or tumble dryers, as high heat and chemicals can cause the stretch fibers to break down.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent cushioning via the 3D Plus pad
- Moisture-wicking material keeps skin dry
- Secure fit with deep leg grippers
- Enhanced visibility with reflective accents
Cons
- Limited to male-specific ergonomic design
- Performance fit may feel tight for casual riders
- Hand-wash or delicate machine cycle recommended for longevity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your size before the first ride; the bibs should feel snug but not restrictive around the shoulders. When laundering, always use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking and elastic properties of the fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the leg grippers and the foam density of the seat pad. For compatibility, these shorts pair perfectly with standard cycling jerseys and work well with all major saddle types.
