While everyone's opinion differs on what provides comfort, we can all agree that we desire it. And while there's a veritable cornucopia of bib shorts out there to provide it, most designs are anchored to rider feedback and not rider designs. This is where Hincapie Sportswear comes in. As we all know, Big George knows a thing or two about a long duration in the saddle (try 17 Tours) , and out of this experience came knowledge. Luckily for you, this education in suffering has led to its relief with Hincapie Sportswear's Edge Bib Shorts. Hincapie approached the Edge bib shorts with a series of objectives in mind. Basically, the Edge was to represent the key fundamentals of bib shorts -- a light overall weight, a comfortable and supportive fit, and a drag reducing design. Luckily for you, Hincapie achieved each of its goals. How? Well, starting at the bulk of the construction, the Edge bib shorts features the soft-to-the-touch, ultra-lightweight TourTek Compressor fabric. At a svelte 225 GSM (a measurement of fabric weight) , TourTek provides the best of both the polyester and elastane worlds. The blend ensures that you benefit from the gentle feel and powerful wicking of polyester, while maintaining the supportive fit and aerodynamic edge of elastane. Additionally, the weight of the fabric gives it compressive support that helps promote a positive blood flow to the muscles. And while it's not enough to technically classify the Edge bib shorts as a compression piece, the effects are still more than notable. For breathability, and further weight reduction, the Edge bib shorts features Diamond Mesh at the bib straps. This produces an effective airflow through the uppers in order to keep you cool, and to aid in rapid moisture evaporation. Additionally, it also aids the fit and movement of the bib shorts with its malleable composition. So, when you bend and flex in the cycling position, the Diamond Mesh construction helps the braces move with your body, not against it. ... see details
