FR- C Pro Reflective Bib Short - Men's

Giordana knows the time it takes to develop and maintain fitness for road racing. From early mornings before the rest of the city wakes to late after-work rides, we’re used to fitting training in regardless of how early the sun sets. The Giordana FR-C Pro Reflective Bib makes sure we’re visible on the road for all those dawn and dusk miles, with the same pro-level fit we love from the FR-C line.

The wide 7.5cm leg cuffs feature a highly reflective floret dot pattern, which reflects light to make sure vehicles and other cyclists can see you on the road. Giordana uses a soft, mesh-like elastic leg gripper and internal silicone grippers to keep the shorts in place while you mash out the last interval before breakfast.

The shorts are constructed from Giordana's HC50 High Compression Power Lycra, which is a supercharged fabric that takes the previous generation's HC-44 Lycra to another level by providing added compression with a higher thread count. HC-50's ultra-compact knit is lighter and offers improved performance thanks to a higher compression rate that's typically only found only in heavier fabrics. Zaffiro 2.0, a textured anti-abrasion Lycra, is utilized on the inner leg and seat panel as it increases the shorts' resistance to pedaling friction.

We've always been proponents of Giordana's FormaRed fit, but the revised construction ups the ante even more by virtually eliminating creased and bunched fabrics throughout the pedal stroke. The top-tier Cirro OmniForm chamois utilizes varying thickness with plush cushioning in critical zones, and relief where you need it most. The face fabric utilizes a Nylon microfiber that incorporates Aloe Vera permanently infused into the threads for improved cooling and reduced odor accumulation. Underneath this fabric is an expanded memory foam layer with a waffled texture that aids in breathability and moisture management by moving perspiration to the outside of the shorts for quick evaporation.
