These bib shorts are engineered for racing and demanding training, offering a streamlined, second-skin fit with highly breathable compression for aggressive riding positions.

Ensure the shorts are worn directly against the skin. Consider using a thin layer of chamois cream. If discomfort persists, the insert may not be the ideal fit for your anatomy; assess if the saddle and short interface is optimal.

Follow washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat, and tumble drying, which can damage the fabric fibers. Store properly when not in use.
