THE RAPHA GUIDE TO BIB SHORTS
The success of a ride can often be decided by a single point of contact. The bib short is a crucial piece of design in a rider’s wardrobe, serving as the foundational interface between the body and the bike. A rider will engage in tens of thousands of pedal strokes during even a modest outing, meaning support, breathability and moisture wicking are paramount. By eliminating the friction and shifting that leads to irritation, a technically superior bib short does more than provide a platform for performance; it stabilises your core and ensures you can apply power to the pedals most effectively.
