bib shorts

Strapped cycling shorts

Bib shorts are form-fitting cycling shorts with attached suspender-like straps that extend over the shoulders.

The bib design eliminates the need for an elastic waistband, preventing discomfort and slippage during long rides: I prefer bib shorts for centuries because they don't dig into my stomach.

Like regular cycling shorts, they include a padded chamois in the seat area.
