During long endurance rides, the riders often complain that they start feeling uncomfortable after 30-40kms into the ride. It is then the BIB Shorts come in use, the gel padding provided in the Hip area provides an extra cushioning and helps the rider to feel more comfortable during long hours on the saddle. Only gel padded shorts aren’t good enough for the riders, as the gel keeps moving while riding and is not able to provide the required amount of comfort needed by the rider, therefore the bib shorts have a strap like structure which holds onto the shoulders of the rider and keeps the gel pad in place free from any movement while riding.

Here are a few reasons why BIB shorts are popular-

1. There is no Waistband-

Since there’s no waistband, there’s also no drawstring or itchiness, uncomfortable elastic cutting into your abdomen. You’re less likely to feel as if your blood flow and oxygen intake through deep diaphragmatic breathing is being restricted or clogged. Therefore, you’ll feel more productive and efficient in the saddle, especially over long distances. Another drawback to the traditional waistband oriented shorts is that they collect and retain moisture, which increases the potential for chafing and overall chances of discomfort. Bib shorts will leave you feeling completely free and comfortable in the torso region.

2. The Chamois Stays in Place-

The traditional and common cycling shorts will end up slipping and becoming loose over a period of time, this means the gel pad or the chamois will move from its place as well. Keeping the chamois in place will ensure that there are fewer chances for any kind of saddle sores, chafing or generally unhappy riding times. The bib shorts by nature are designed in a way that it guarantees the gel pad or the chamois stays in place even after a long time of usage.

3. The BIB straps increase comfort-

The bib shorts utilise lightweight, breathable mesh straps over the shoulders. While there are a lot of advantages of these shoulder straps, one of the biggest benefit is how they hold the bib as a whole in place without creating any type of pressure or binding points anywhere on the body. The proper body fit bib shorts disappear when the rider is in a proper riding position. The rider won’t feel any tugging, binding or chaffing.

4. Types of Bib shorts padding-

• 5D Padding
• 7D Padding
• TRS Padding
