The Men’s Euro Cool-Touch bibs are without a doubt the best bibs we have ever made (or ridden). All elements of the bibs are made from the best materials money can buy. The most common response from our customers is “You just retired all of my other bib shorts and we need to order more.” You mention the Cool-Touch Bibs to any of us at VIE13 and you’ll see us beaming with pride!
Thousands of hours in the saddle and two years of development is this garment’s resume. In development, we started with the most important aspect for the bib shorts – the contact point! We worked with a leading Italian chamois brand to develop our own Men’s chamois; we can’t tell you how but we can tell you we added materials from outside the cycling industry to create something amazing – this chamois will absorb up to 20% more road vibration. Our customers believe it’s more comfortable than any endurance specific chamois on the market and it’s thinner than most high-end race chamois. We use a Men’s specific bib strap that is highly elastic yet supportive, made from a densely woven textile with 30 percent spandex. The chamois panel fabric consists of top end Italian power stretch compression fabric, giving the perfect amount of support and stretch. In fact, these provide 33% more compression than our Pro level bibs. Compression fabrics are used to help promote circulation and with more cyclists reporting Arterial Endofibrosis issues due to loss of circulation in the external Iliac and femoral arteries we wanted to do what we can to help promote blood flow in this area.
Surrounding the chamois you’ll find 2 large wrap panels of Cool-Touch on the sides of the bibs. You’ll also notice we chose to go with a longer leg Euro look. Finally, the grippers are our very popular Belgian Speed grippers, these aero grippers allow any size leg in them without restricting blood flow.
