Etxeondo

Team Edition Bib Short - Men's

You may still be waiting on your official pro team invite, but that shouldn't stop you from dressing the part this season. Brands like Spanish-born Etxeondo make their team kit available to us mortals so that we can enjoy the same attention to detail and high-quality construction as the pros. The Etxeondo Team Edition Bib Short has appeared in the peloton on Team Giant Shimano Pro riders, and it boasts a sleek, minimally-seamed design for the comfort of professional riders and dedicated weekend warriors alike.

Etxeondo trusts its proprietary Powersystem 1.2 fabric to craft the Team Edition. The material is a Lycra blend that follows a contoured fit around your muscles in the saddle to support them and limit fatigue over long rides and continuous road vibrations. Etxeondo owes its existence to a founder who worked developing couture-worthy fabrics for years, and those roots are evident in the impeccable fit of its garments and details like the seamless transition around the shorts to the chamois and the one-piece construction of the minimalist bibs. Etxeondo also manages to eliminate any seaming on the inner thighs, creating a seamless transition to the Urraki chamois.

Freedom of movement was the key concern when creating the Urraki, as riding in a peloton demands almost constant major and minor adjustments in body position throughout a race and having a chamois that remains flexible throughout a ride is crucial. Thus, the multi-density foam throughout the chamois is also highly elastic while still capable of loyally absorbing shock, providing support, and remaining breathable and odor-resistant as you ride. Finishing touches include moderately wide, elastic leg grippers, a chafe-resistant flatlock seam construction, and reflective accents, all of which work together to create a valuable addition to kit for whatever this season's calendar has in store for you.
