Giordana Bib Shorts Information

In some brands, cycling bib shorts are only available in the highest-end models. Giordana, however, understands that bibs are amazingly comfortable and offers them at almost all of their price points. You don’t need to shell out a couple hundred bucks to get a waistband-free ride -- thanks Giordana!

What’s the big deal about Giordana bib shorts anyway? Mainly, bibs don’t have a waistband, so there is nothing to bind or chafe your stomach while riding. Giordana pays close attention to creating a smooth waist area that supports your core rather than pinches. The bib upper is made of gentle, breathable fabric that stretches so that it does not put pressure on your shoulders. Giordana cycling bibs are designed to fit tightly so that the chamois insert does not shift while riding.

At the lowest price point, Giordana bib shorts are constructed of moisture-wicking lycra fabric with a micro-mesh bib upper. The leg grippers are typical silicone. As you move up to more spendy models, you get advanced chamois insert technology, which usually means that the pad is softer, denser, and conforms better to your shape. The chamois in Giordana shorts looks minimal, but actually feels more comfortable and protective than a larger, bulky pad. The higher-end fabrics are luxuriously silky, and might make you forget that you are wearing cycling shorts, except that you will notice a slight compression on your quads. These men's and women's Giordana bib shorts are famous for their seamless lycra leg bands that grip the legs without silicone, and for the seamless bib uppers that eliminate irritation caused by chafing stitches.
