The Classico Bib Shorts represent Louis Garneau's ability to continually design apparel that produces results in the saddle. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Garneau's commitment to the sport, which is quite remarkable considering just how many apparel brands have popped up in recent years.

Garneau even took this concept a step further by only using flatlock stitching throughout the shorts and uppers. However, all the while, both fabrics possess an extraordinary ability to manage moisture. This means that riding with damp legs after 40k is now a thing of the past. The secure fit of the Classico bib shorts was accomplished through the use of compressive fabric panels and Garneau's Powerband leg cuffs. These not only pro... see details
