TEST-WINNING COMFORT

The comfort and long-distance capability of our bib shorts is proven over and again in the numerous perfect test scores as well as world record-holding endurance athletes like Sarah Ruggins and Alan Colville, who choose to wear them by choice, not because we pay them.

But the comfort is also scientifically proven, beating 5 'leading' brands in a head-to-head test using the gebioMized pressure-sensing software to directly compare the performance of each chamois using the same control rider and setup.

Made exclusively for us in Italy, our chamois features a 4-layer construction combining three types of memory foam, plus a unique aloe-infused microfibre top surface designed to be used without chamois cream.

Unlike most chamois pads, ours also won't collapse over time. We have tested new against pairs with over 15,000km of abuse, with almost the exact same results.

LESS IS MORE

But it's arguably our Italian-made (see a theme here?) recycled main fabric that's both the star and - literally - the supporting act.

As a circular-knit fabric, it's more densely woven than the typical bib short fabric, with a luxuriously silky finish and super soft hand feel that will make you say 'wow' out loud the first time you try them on. It has a unique ability to both stretch and compress, and redefines bib short comfort and performance at any price point.

Veteran reviewer Jo Burt was bold enough to state our bibs were 'the nicest thing I've ever put next to my skin' in his 10/10 review.

And our customers seem to agree.

Finished with raw-cut leg hems and custom-printed hypoallergenic grippers, they feel both ultra-supportive and yet barely there.

CARGO/CAN DO

How do you improve on perfection?

The problem with 10/10 reviews and Product of the Year awards is that, with any kind of change, there is a real risk of breaking what's proven to work.

Our Comfort Break Bib Short is minimalist by design, so how do you add more features without losing the product ethos?

We trialled multiple pocket fabrics and configurations - vented inners, zips, pockets within pockets, rear pockets - but nothing matched our original concept.

Two perfectly-positioned leg pockets with laser-welded entry points, minimal stitching, and plenty of carrying capacity. Even fully loaded, we guarantee you will barely notice the difference.

NATURE CALLS

Whatever distance you are riding, the nature break is an eternal issue for almost every cyclist.

Our swimsuit-inspired racer-back strap design attaches to the rear of the short in such a way that allows it to be simply pulled down. No need to remove your top layers, and no clips, zips or yoga skills required.

The wide, super-stretchy perforated straps keep everything perfectly in place without overheating, and we guarantee they'll never go baggy.

Aside from the perfect 10 score in road.cc they were also awarded overall Editor's Choice 2023/24, as well as in the Cyclist Magazine 2024 Gear of the Year awards, plus Editor's Choice awards in both Rouleur and 220 Triathlon.

In fact, they might just be the only bib shorts on the market to never score less than a perfect review!
