Scott

Endurance ++ Bib Short - Men's

You could swear you just bought your old standby pair of bibs last year sometime, and they've always felt fine as your go-to piece of kit. But this year when you took them back out after a winter of cross-training, you spent a lot of your ride shifting in the saddle trying to get comfortable while your training buddies tried to ignore the see-through rear panel. Upgrading can be as simple as grabbing a pair of Scott's Endurance + + Bib Shorts; with their pragmatic price tag and functional design, they're a loyal replacement for those old faithful shorts you've been hanging on to for a little longer than necessary.

Scott trusted a stretchy, supportive blend of nylon and elastane to construct the Endurance ++, employing a tailored, but relatively relaxed, shape that follows body movements in the saddle without feeling like race kit. As you'd anticipate, the material is adept at wicking moisture away from your skin, and smooth flatlock seaming binds the high waist of the shorts to an airy mesh bib. The lightweight bib straps sit quietly under a jersey, while silicone leg grippers gently hold the legs in place while you tackle new climbs and favorite stretches of smooth tarmac.

Scott's newly-updated Endurance ++ Sport chamois marks an important update for this year as well, and though we'd guess any new chamois would feel like an improvement over the compressed one you've been riding with, the breathable perforations and plush cushioning in the Endurance ++ will make an especially luxurious upgrade for this season.
