Description
Bib shorts are a type of clothing designed for cycling, and they are designed to provide comfort and stability during long hours of cycling ¹. They have straps that connect over your shoulders and back to the top of your shorts. This connection increases comfort and efficiency by keeping the seat pad stable and aligned beneath you, helping to prevent it from bunching up by migrating sideways or forward. They also provide more support, as the straps leverage your upper body’s forward posture to keep your shorts snug and better contoured to your body. The lack of a defined waistband also helps keep unwanted pressure off your abdomen, which can cause discomfort over time.
