The updated bibs arrive as a small but significant revolution—a higher waistline that’s as much about style as it is about support.
Figuring out the right pairing for fashion is almost as fun as riding in them. We included a full pocket for your phone, wallet, or snacks on the side so you won't miss the pockets on a traditional jersey, and because - they are jeans after all.
Cyclists will appreciate how easily they pair with the season’s crop tops and Resort shirts, but the real magic is in the details. A generously-sized side pocket brings back what traditional jerseys might take away: space for snacks, phones, or a wallet. Elegant engineering meets playfulness in the new bibs, a design that feels as natural as it is deliberate.
Bib Architecture: First we reduced the number of panels, seams, and stitches by engineering a single piece of fabric into an elegant bib form, our patternmaker explains the process being a bit like making a precise origami pattern out of a sheet of paper. Fewer seams yield a more comfortable fit by allowing the fabric to stretch and compress more easily; moving with your body with less restriction, especially in a cycling crouch. As a bonus, It gives the bib that super clean, sleek look. If only your real jeans were this comfortable.

The lay-flat straps don't bind on your shoulders and they are integrated to pass through the midsection to better hold the chamois in place by keeping the pad taut and preventing the excess fabric from chafing your thighs. Impregnated raw-cut silicon grippers stay on your thighs without impinging.
We prototyped dozens of identical bibs with our new pattern, each with a different high-end pad, to find the most comfortable option. One pad was a clear winner: the Paris HP from Elastic Interface. Surprisingly thin for a pad created for all-day events, the pad's secret is its ultra-high density inserts in the perineal and ischiatic areas that make it perfect for all roads and even the most demanding events. In English: that means the more pressure you put on it, the more resistance it gives without bottoming out, like a good mattress.
