FAQs
What makes the RIDE FIT Pro technology beneficial?
RIDE FIT Pro is engineered with enhanced aerodynamics in the riding position. This minimizes volume and bulk, allowing for maximum endurance and comfort by reducing wind resistance and improving fit.
How long can I comfortably wear the chamois?
The dual-layer foam chamois is designed to provide comfort and support for approximately 4-6 hours of cycling. The construction enhances moisture management for extended wear.
Are these shorts suitable for all types of cycling?
Yes, they are designed for general cycling activities. The features like aerodynamics, moisture-wicking, and reflective details make them suitable for road cycling, endurance rides, and general training.
How should I wash these bib shorts?
It is recommended to machine wash them cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Turning the garment inside out before washing is also advised.
What is the purpose of the Stay Seen reflective accents?
The Stay Seen reflective accents are designed to maximize your visibility as you move, especially in low-light conditions. This enhances rider safety by making you more noticeable to others.
Can I wear these if I sweat a lot?
Yes, the quick-wicking fabrics and the dual-layer foam chamois are specifically designed to manage moisture and draw sweat away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable even when you sweat.
What is the material composition of the shorts?
The shorts are made from an 85% polyester and 15% elastane fabric blend, featuring flat-locked seams for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
Bib straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the straps if possible or check that your jersey is not bunching underneath. The fit is designed for a riding position; try them on while simulating a cycling posture.
Chamois feels uncomfortable after a few hours.
The dual-layer chamois is designed for 4-6 hours of comfort. For shorter rides, ensure proper fit. For longer rides, consider if additional chamois cream is needed. Ensure the shorts are worn correctly without bunching.
Shorts are riding up at the hem.
Ensure the gel gripper tape is clean and making contact with your skin. Avoid wearing lotions or creams directly on the skin where the gripper tape sits, as this can reduce its effectiveness. If the size is correct, the gripper should hold them in place.
Reflective details are peeling off.
This is likely due to improper washing. Avoid high heat, tumble drying, and harsh detergents. Follow the recommended care instructions strictly (cold wash, no tumble dry, no iron).
