Louis Garneau Bib Shorts Information

Staying true to the LG name, Louis Garneau bib shorts outfit you in extreme comfort at an affordable price. Their form-fitting bibs come in black and road racing-inspired styles that match perfectly to the jerseys in the collection.

The body of Louis Garneau bibs is constructed of power lycra, which has an excellent rate of stretch and return, so it hugs your muscles but follows your every movement. Some bibs use carbon fiber enforced fabrics, or a lighter, meshy material that breathes amazingly in hot weather. All LG bib shorts are designed to provide compression to your muscles, which reduces fatigue so you can ride harder. They're is famous for their Power Band, which is an extra wide, doubled lycra leg band that stays in place without a silicone gripper. It is less constrictive than a typical leg gripper, and supports your quads, adding to the compressive affects of the bike shorts. A long inseam ensures that your entire quad is covered to receive the benefits of compression. The bib upper is made of a super stretchy, lightweight mesh material that is breathable and barely noticeable next to your skin. The upper in women’s Louis Garneau bib shorts is cut to fit a woman’s proportions around the waist, chest, and shoulders.

The chamois inserts used in Louis Garneau cycling bibs are seamless and have soft edges to prevent irritation. Four-way stretch and varied densities allow the chamois to perfectly conform to your shape, and perforations provide ventilation. The next-to-skin layer of the chamois is treated with an antibacterial solution that keeps you fresh and prolongs the lifespan of the pad.

All LG bibs are sewn with flatlock seams to prevent stitches from rubbing your skin. They also feature reflective logos on the back of the shorts for visibility in low light. Most styles have a back pocket, located in the bib upper, that can be used to stash a music-playing device.
