“I have a disgustingly large collection of bib shorts accrued over the years, and the Kostüme bib shorts trump all of them. They're next-level comfortable. 10/10." - Jo Burt, Road.cc

SUITS YOU

 

You asked. We delivered. And then some!

 

Until now our bib shorts have only been available as part of our artist edits. But the number one request has been for 'plain' bibs that pair with any kit. Fair enough.

 

The challenge? To make something 'plain' but still visually interesting at the same time.

 

It turns out the answer was already in our wardrobe.

 

Not cycling apparel, but a low-key grey wedding suit trimmed with acid yellow silk lining. Subtle on the outside, but ready to party at a moments notice.

 

For our Spring 2024 drop, we've combined our Klein Blue brand colour with the ü motif and printed it INSIDE the straps. The results are unique (literally...every strap is slightly different) and what it doesn't add in Watts it will certainly add in all-important feel-good factor. We even forgive you for pairing them with someone else's jersey.

As part of product testing, a production sample was worn on the inaugural Bristol Glasgow Bristol, covering over 1,600km and 25,000m of elevation both on and off road in less than 90 hours.

 

The feedback was direct and to the point (as it tends to be in the middle of gruelling events like BGB): ‘Simplest way to put it: the best shorts I have ever worn.’

 

You’ll feel the same benefits whether you’re traversing cities, counties or countries.

 

The key to any bib short is the chamois, and our exclusive Italian-made pad features a 4-layer construction combining three different types of memory foam, with a permanent nano-level aloe-infused microfibre top surface designed to be used without chamois cream.

 

Trying is believing. We think it’s a game changer for most riders.

The feedback was direct and to the point: ‘Simplest way to put it: the best shorts I have ever worn.’ We couldn’t have written it better ourselves. Of course, you’ll feel the exact same benefits whether you’re traversing cities, counties or countries.

 

The key to any good short is the chamois, and our exclusive Italian-made pad features a 4-layer construction combining three types of memory foam, with an aloe-infused microfibre top surface designed to be used without chamois cream.

 

Yes, we were sceptical at first too, but we truly believe it’s a game changer for most riders. A chamois is designed to function as a second skin, not a slippery mess.

But it's arguably our exclusive recycled main fabric that's both the star and (literally) the supporting act. Weightier and more densely woven than the typical bib short fabric, with a luxurious matt finish and super soft hand feel that will make you say 'wow' the first time you touch it, it has a unique balance of stretch and compression that redefines bib short comfort and performance.

 

Coupled with raw-cut leg hems and 3D-printed grippers to minimise fabric wastage, they feel ultra supportive yet barely there. Wave goodbye to sausage leg forever.

 

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

 

Finally, our innovative racer-back design allows the seat of the short to be pulled down for toilet breaks without needing to remove your top layers. No zips, velcro or yoga skills required.

“The comfort and support they provided actually exceeded some of the more expensive, premium brands I’ve tested in the past." - Rouleur Magazine

 

One of the best pieces of advice in cycling is never skimp on the contact points, and the most important of these is your bottom.

 

We tested every single chamois on the market, and one stood head, shoulders (and bottom) ahead of the others.

 

Italian-made, and featuring a 4-layer construction combining three types of memory foam, our chamois features a unique aloe-infused microfibre top surface designed to be used without chamois cream. Yes, you read that right.

 

So confident were we of its all-day performance that we put it to scientific test against 5 of the market leading brands. (You can likely guess the names.)

 

During a fascinating afternoon with bike fit experts Pedalling Perfection, we used the incredible gebioMized pressure sensing software to directly compare the performance of each chamois using the same control rider and setup.

 

Our results were far and away the best of the group, with near perfect distribution and no hotspots. Our plan is to repeat the test 'double-blind' as part of a more in-depth feature, coming soon.
