The Spatzwear 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts are like nothing else on the market. Designed to let you ride as far as you want; as fast as you want. Developed to work in perfect unison with our Jerseys, Base Layers and Gilets. The killer features of the 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts are the cargo pockets. Not only 2 mesh pockets positioned across the rear section, but also a small additional pocket placed snugly on the inside top of the right thigh: Extra convenience when you want to grab or stow a gel without causing unneccesary faff, bulk or drag. The cut of the shorts is long (down to the knee). We have added 10cm woven-in silicone grippers for comfort, positioning and to integrate beautifully with leg, knee or thigh warmers. Logos are subtle, black rubberised print and go unnoticed until a headlight beam hits, when the reflective paint glows up strong. We have added subtle logos under the mesh cargo pockets which only catch the eye in the glare of a headlight. We have specified a high quality, perforated synthetic chamois that performs well with or without chamois cream. After 2 years of testing and development, we opted for a medium thickness, medium density chamois that will not bunch up as you shift and move on the bike. These are shorts which you could realistically use for a 200km gravel epic, and then wear to smash up your local evening criterium the next day. They will soon become your go-to shorts for racing, training, gravel or simply riding. We have designed shorts which are fitted and aerodynamic yet offer features you will come to rely on every day. They have been developed and tested to destruction by the current Olympic Champion. The 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts epitomise our strap-line: UTILITY WITH SPEED .
The Castelli Free Aero RC Shorts, which are engineered for racing and made with dyed fabrics for a rich colour, expertly combine luxury with speed, being built around Castelli’s best seat pad, the Progetto X² Air seamless.Constructed with two densities of foam and gel pads, to absorb vibrations and improve ride quality, not to mention a soft upper layer that moves with the skin, this pad offers superb long-distance comfort. Another top feature of these shorts, which are made from super-light, stretchy Forza 2 fabric that simultaneous supports and compresses the muscles, is a dramatically reduced number of panels, for less seams and added ease of wear. Meanwhile, after 28 prototypes and their most extensive testing programme ever, Castelli has succeeded in creating a raw cut leg ending that stays put without grippers – their most comfortable ever. Also sporting a supple raw cut waist and reflective piping down the back of the legs, the Free Aero RC Shorts expertly pair top-class performance with supreme comfort, making them some of the best that Castelli has to offer.Key FeaturesConstructed from dyed Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra ,50% reduction in panels and seams,Newly refined Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad,Leg ends stay in place without elastic or grippers.
Comfort, performance, protection, and storage. Designed for gravel but equally at home for adventure, endurance, or if you just love pockets. High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Dyneema® side panels to protect in the event of a tumble, 15x stronger than steel Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders 2 rear mesh pockets Large compression pocket on each leg Raw-cut edge at waist for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers This is the no-compromise gravel or endurance MTB short. It combines the best features of Castelli's premier race short, the Free Aero RC Bibshort, with Dyneema® side panels for protection in case of a fall, and four pockets for storage. It's made first and foremost for riding comfort. It uses the top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad that provides progressive damping and the softest, stretchiest skin contact layer available. The Forza 2 fabric provides just the right level of compression and muscle support for your longest rides. The comfort is further enhanced by the minimalist Free bib straps — less material to keep you cooler, but just enough to keep your short in place. At the leg ending there's a raw-cut edge that you'll hardly feel, and the combination of the Forza 2 fabric with just the right length and circumference means that no silicone gripper is required. It's a big leap forward in terms of comfort. The two large leg pockets are lined with an extremely light and fast-wicking fabric so you won't notice the extra layer, yet they hold a surprising amount of gear. The two mesh pockets at the lower back mean you have enough storage space that you can forgo a traditional pocketed cycling jersey. The Unlimited short really does know no limits.
The Essential Road VPDS Bib Shorts are ready for all types of cycling. Made from a high-stretch and compressive fabric, they offer excellent flexibility and muscle support - ideal for maintaining a smooth pedal stroke and perfect comfort over longer distances. Panels are cut to offer a figure-hugging fit and they're joined using flatlock seams, ensuring there's no irritation against the skin. Excellent breathability also prevents harder efforts from leaving you feeling too hot and sweaty. To the upper body, seam-free elastic straps provide firm support for the main body of the shorts while reducing pressure across the shoulders. Mesh is also deployed over the back and sides, allowing for excellent air circulation and breathability. Moving to the thighs, deep leg grippers, complete with a silicone print on the inside, keep your shorts securely and comfortably in place. Men's Multi D VPDS Chamois The Multi D VPDS seat pad has been created specifically for the demands of performance cyclists who adopt a more aggressive race position. High-density foam provides on-the-saddle support while silicone-based VPDS inserts reduce vibration and add targeted anatomic support where it's most needed. The seamless design makes for an irritation-free fit and a perforated base layer offers optimised ventilation. Bacteriostatic properties also ensure the pad remains fresh for the long haul.

Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9The Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 push technical performance and race-bred comfort to a new level. Going back to the drawing board Assos designers have paid attention to every detail to create the finest racing shorts possible.Developed with Pros. Ridden by You.Having entered back into the milieu of the Pro Tour Peloton, Assos have made full use of the knowledge and feedback from pro riders. With a Grand Tour or Classic taking in all weathers, varying road surfaces, steep climbs, manic descents and sprints a lot is demanded of a pair of shorts. This has pushed the engineering team to create innovative solutions focused on delivering the finest fit, comfort and support for the demanding cyclist. The final result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 with A-Lock engineering. A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of this bib short is a new Assos concept, A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains in the perfect position at all times. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. This new fabric is then carefully tailored using a brand new panel design to create an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts use an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there. S9 InsertAt the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Assos have once again pushed what is possible with performance cycling equipment. With incredible attention to every detail, every seam and fabric engineering, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 will allow you to ride further and faster than ever, pushing performance to new heights.
