Cycling shorts or bib shorts?

Cycling shorts are quicker to put on and take off than bib shorts and are less hassle during breaks. On the other hand, the waistband can press or slip down in the bent-over position. If you ride for many hours at a time, you will therefore usually choose bib shorts; for shorter rides or commuting, cycling shorts are often the choice.

Q36.5 makes most of its shorts as bib shorts. The cycling shorts complete the range for anyone who does not want to wear straps.

Tip: The jersey should be long enough at the back to cover the waistband of the shorts in the riding position. Otherwise a gap appears at your lower back.
