Bib Shorts Road

The more you like cycling, the longer the rides on your bike. However, in spite of an excellent physical condition, allowing us to pedal during hours, the position on the saddle can get uncomfortable or even painful.

That's why it's very important to choose bib shorts road with a good pad or chamois, one that will protect us from the constant contact with the saddle and assure us sustained comfort during our bike rides. Whether you practise road cycling, mountain biking, spinning or urban cycling, bib shorts road are an essential element. They do also favour a proper blood circulation and can even protect us in case of a fall if they're reinforced on the sides.

The main element of the bib shorts road is their pad or chamois. The longer you want to ride, the better should be the quality of your chamois, as it's charged with reducing the friction and eventual grazes and helps you to position yourself correctly on the saddle. It's an area where technological innovations are on the agenda, and currently you can already find pads that fit to the kind of saddle you use and adapt to your body-structure (snake, chameleon or bull).

On the other hand, the bib shorts road do not only address the issue of comfort, they also take into account relevant aspects such as temperature control and moisture channelling. We're talking here about the fact that these fabrics are breathable and that they will vary in regard of the season during which you want to practise your favourite sport. Indeed, there's a large variety of bib-shorts, long, short, knickers, made out of Lycra, baggies and a long list of variables, that will always allow each cyclist to find the one that best fits him or her.

In order not to get the size wrong while choosing, you will have to take into account two measurements: the waist size and the leg inseam. Once these measurements taken, you will only have to check the sizing-guides, which Retto puts at your disposal on its website, in order to find out the size that best fits you. When you're done choosing your bib shorts road among this wide offer, you will only have to enjoy the ride.
