Go Beyond Comfort
The Pro Team Bib Shorts III are our most comfortable high performance shorts yet. Engineered and fine tuned with WorldTour athletes, built for unhindered focus on the absolute limit. Centred around a proprietary chamois and road tested over 400,000km, including Lachlan Morton’s record breaking 648km ride between Auckland and Wellington.

"From Auckland to Wellington, I didn’t notice them at all, and that's the highest praise I can give. That’s what I want from my bib shorts."
– Lachlan Morton
Supreme Chamois
The new proprietary chamois was a key focus of the design process. Increased high-density foam, with a reticulated structure, conforms to your body and wicks sweat rapidly. Iterations of this pad were tested by WorldTour and elite-level riders in all conditions. The result is supreme comfort during your hardest efforts.
Material Gains
The legs and bibs sections use another proprietary textile technology, selected for high strength-to-weight ratio for an engaged fit and increased chamois stability. This Italian-made woven fabric also offers advanced thermo-regulation whilst still delivering a balance of form-following flexibility and compression.
Unrivalled Comfort
For absolute comfort in competition, our in-house Atelier and design team went deeper to innovate the pattern and garment construction. Minimal seams and fabric with fewer panels, the advanced build of the chamois, low profile elastic bib straps, laser cut hems and mesh waist section all ensure optimum fit, functionality and support.
The Pro Team Bibs III were recently worn by Lachlan Morton on his FKT attempt between Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. Riding 648km in under 19 hours, Lachlan went deep to break a record that had stood for over 40 years.
"To me these kinds of records are fascinating. A pure test. To see how far and how fast we can go on a bike in one day."
- Lachlan Morton
