Cyclicst with short Castelli bib shorts

Cycling Bib Shorts – a Technical Essential

Why straps? This is easily explained: the elastic waistband in conventional cycling shorts, no matter how comfortable, will eventually pinch your abdomen on long cycling tours. Straps in cycling bib shorts keep the shorts well in place without restricting you abdomen. In addition, the sensitive renal area around your kidneys is covered with more Lycra, and the body-mapped back construction as such scores with reduced drag. You can tell by now, cycling bib shorts are conceived for ambitious cycling sports.

Cycling bib shorts are technical garments which not only cover your body but also support and protect it. They are generally characterised by:

  • A body-mapped fit, snugging your body and adapted to the seated posture
  • An elastic material which follows your movements, regulates body moisture, and depending on the density, has a compressing effect on your muscles
  • An elastic and breathable bib, usually made from mesh fabrics or lasercut Stretch
  • A comfortable, shock absorbing seat pad
  • And leg grippers which prevent shorts from sliding

Bib shorts are available with a wide range of different features and, accordingly, at different price levels. They are suitable for road biking as well as for Mountainbike sports, predominantly bib shorts are found in road biking, though. Mountainbikers like wearing them underneath their bike shorts. In this case, bib shorts support you on the inside, and the sturdy bike shorts protect you from scratches and abrasions on the outside.

Bib Shorts for Road Biking – Ever Faster on Asphalt

Castelli bib shorts, Nalini bib shorts, GORE Wear bib shorts, high quality bib shorts for road biking are available from nearly all our cycling clothing brands. But what is it that characterises high quality road bike bib shorts? Where are the differences? What is it you have to look for?

As is often the case, it depends on your personal style and demands. There are road bike bib shorts available in all categories ranging from approx. 80 € up to more than 200 €. Accordingly, the technical features are more or less sophisticated.

The core of any road bike bib shorts is the seat pad. It should prevent your buttocks and seat bones from being harmed on long tours. Seat pads in high quality road bike bib shorts feature a smooth surface. The build-up of the different foam materials or gels is found on the bottom side, facing the saddle. Perforated foam materials enhance the breathability of a seat pad, which is especially pleasant on hot summer days. Of course, the surface of the seat pad should feature a bacteriostatic treatment and a seamless finish.

The more performance oriented a cyclist, the more they appreciate a material in their road bike bib shorts which will support muscles. Dense Lycras with compression effect prevent early fatigue in muscles by enhancing the blood flow and hence metabolism. The same holds true for wide elastic band leg grippers in bib shorts for road biking. Not only do they keep the shorts well in place but they also have a compressing effect.

Another important aspect is aerodynamics. State-of-the-art road bike bib shorts are tailored to the seated posture, bent down low. The Lycra material is either very smooth or it features structures with aerodynamic effect (e.g. dimple structures as in a golf ball). The cut with reduced number of seams additionally optimises the air flow. The few existing seams are either very flat or lasercut hems are used. In addition, this construction with minimalistic seams makes road bike bib shorts very friendly to your skin as chafing is prevented.

The more high-end road bike bib shorts get, the finer the bib becomes. Always according to the motto “as much as necessary but as little as possible“ the bib should support the shorts but neither cause overheating nor disturb aerodynamics or cut into your skin. To achieve this, perforated, soft elastic bands are used in combination with a moisture wicking mesh back panel. The straps in women’s bib shorts for road biking either run more to the sides or are designed as a single strap in the middle of the chest.

For less ambitious road cyclists or for your short training tour in the evening, though, bib shorts with classic features in the lower price segment will suffice.

Cycling Bib Shorts with Print as a Stylish Statement

Of course, the style found in colourful professional cycling clothing is also reflected in cycling sports collections. Bright colours and striking graphics are not only found in cycling jerseys but also in cycling bib shorts more and more. Black cycling bib shorts are still, of course, a classic which easily matches. Bib shorts with print, though, in combination with the matching cycling jersey, express the cyclist’s spirit far better.

Bib shorts can feature a print design at the wide leg grippers, the side panels and the renal area made from Polyester fabrics. There are no boundaries to your imagination and depending on the fashion and the brand, the variety of designs is ever more comprehensive.

The most exceptional cycling bib shorts can be found at brands such as:

  • Bianchi Milano
  • Nalini
  • Scott
  • Bobteam

In most cycling bib shorts, the print is restricted to the wide leg grippers which then matches the jersey design.

Simply be a bit more daring when choosing your cycling bib shorts. With a colourful and fashionable outfit your cycling tour will be even more fun!
