These are my favourite bib shorts! I have two pairs of Chroma 1.0, and now I have another two pairs of Chroma 2.0 (teal and light brown). They are outstanding - the padding is wide (no chafing along seams) and comfortable, the fabric is thin but offers perfect coverage. Also, they are firm but not tight around the thighs, as they have no uncomfortable leg band - meaning that there is no dreaded "sausage leg". Best fitting bib shorts out there, I just wish they had them in navy too!
Product Details
Universal Colours Chroma Womens Bib Short
The use of French woven nylon in the Universal Colours Chroma Womens Bib Short makes it highly compressive for muscle support, highly abrasion resistant, and lightweight. Designed to optimise performance, style and durability, this year's update has a slightly higher, soft waistband and longer leg length, with improved grippers to offer better stability. The bib straps are also wider, softer, stretchy and breathable, so sit smoothly under a tight race fit jersey.
A wider, longer and thicker pad - the Elastic Interface® Road Performance Space 2 - has a higher density rating for all-day comfort. In line with the brand's environmentally and socially conscious ethos, the chamois uses recycled fabrics and includes a high-performance bio-based foam layer, with 60% of its components of plant-based origin.
The ‘Nature Calls’ design takes the drama out of toilet breaks, allowing the short to be pulled down without removing the straps and, therefore, without having to remove upper layers. Filtering harmful UV rays, the main short fabric protects the skin, while reflective details protect the rider when riding in low light.
