Whether you're climbing in the Wasatch or partaking of the midweek race around Central Park, you'll need bibs that can handle the heat. Hincapie's Velocity Plus Competitive Cyclist Bib Shorts feature the latest in temperature regulation technology.
The Velocity Plus shorts were constructed from Hincapie's AT2 Force Lycra Power. These nylon and lycra yarns are combined to provide a soft, comfortable fit that moves with your body while retaining durability and structure, so you won't have baggy shorts after just a few rides. The fabric is a 200-gram weight and uses a 40 gauge loom. In layman's terms, the weave is extremely compact. And while a compact weave seems to imply that the fabric will be too warm, Hincapie treated its bibs with the Schoeller Coldblack finish. Dark fabrics absorb both visible and invisible sunlight and therefore absorb warmth. The Coldblack finish reduces this absorption, reflecting heat away from the surface of the fabric, and helps to provide effective heat management which, in turn, keeps you cooler. Additionally it provides 50+ UPF sun protection. In addition to the AT2 Force Lycra Power, Hincapie used MachSpeed panels on its Velocity bibs. These panels are treated with the same Coldblack finish but are also able to be sublimated.
The bib straps of the shorts were cut from Diamond Mesh. This is a stretch tricot mesh with open eyelet construction to move moisture away from your skin. It's soft and won't cause welts or irritate your shoulders while you ride. The legs of the shorts have been finished with HyperOptic Elastane. This is a two layer fabric which features an outer, micro-eyelet layer that is bonded to a reflective material. In daylight, the dyed fabric is visible, but at night, headlights penetrate the eyelets to reflect the high-visibility material. Laser-cut silicone grip strips finish the legs and hold the fabric securely against the skin.
The ProTour chamois features a 4-way stretch microfiber cover that moves with you to eliminate chafing, reduce friction and absorb shock. The second layer is a perforated, double-density foam which helps to dissipate heat and move moisture away from the body. This 3-dimensional padding is more densely padded in the ischial zones to support you as you ride. Softer, yet equally dense padding is placed in the perineal areas, and the perimeter receives even thinner and softer padding so that the pad blends with the shorts. The chamois itself is seamless and it is attached to the shorts with flatlock stitching. A relief channel along the centerline of the chamois aids in additional pressure relief for long days in the saddle and works perfectly in conjunction with your cut-away saddle.
The Hincapie Velocity Plus Competitive Cyclist Bib Shorts are available in sizes X-small to XXX-large and in the color White.
