Ride Hard. Ride Fast. You’ve worked hard all through winter, building your base, topping up your FTP and boosting your anaerobic engine. And with the Velocity HD2 Bib Shorts, you have a performance garment that maximises those gains. It begins with use of Ale’s wind-tunnel tested ‘Aero 3D’ fabric. The engineered jacquard structure works to deliver a significant reduction in drag, keeping you slippery through the air as your speed rises. But not just that, Aero 3D’s elasticity and recovery boost muscle compression, encouraging improved blood flow and venous return. Lightweight Comfort Complementing the aero fabric is lightweight ‘Speedy’ fabric. Thanks to its low weight it feels barely there while its excellent breathability keeps you feeling cooler and fresher when the pace increases. An orthogonal woven structure enhances durability and at the same time gives the ideal degree of muscle support and compression. Y-Air Bib System With their Y-Air Bib System, Ale has increased rider comfort by lessening the contact area between straps and skin. With more skin open to the air, both breathability and ventilation are improved, but thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps also promote a feeling of lightweight and freshness. Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad Using dual-density padding, the Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad gives superb comfort and support for rides up to and exceeding 8 hours in length. A true endurance product, maximum support is reserved for areas that feel the greatest pressure when you’re on the saddle. Elsewhere, lower-density foam keeps mobility high. Perforations maintain excellent breathability and airflow while flexible wings allow for easy freedom of movement as you pedal and for when you’re jumping in and out of the saddle for sprints and hill climbs.

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 .
