Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.
What is the inseam length of your bib shorts?
As a general rule of thumb, all of our bib shorts are designed to be as close to the same length as possible. Different fabrics have different fits and elasticity so this is not always an exact science. As a baseline, however, our Women's bib shorts are 22cm (8.7") from the center crotch to the leg gripper in size M, with +/- 1.5cm (0.6") per size grading. Our Men's bib shorts are 25.5cm (10") in size M, with +/- 1.5cm (0.6") per size grading.
What is the main fit difference between bib short models?
All of our bib shorts are designed to fit consistently across the size range, meaning if you wear as size L in our Signature Bib Shorts, you will also likely find the size L to be the best fit in our other bib shorts. In terms of fit, the main difference is the amount of compression each bib short offers. LUXE is our most compressive, followed by CONCEPT. We hear often that these two look quite small and take a bit of effort to get on - trust us when we say it's effort well spent. Signature is what we'd call medium compression - still higher than most other brands, but not as compressive as the two mentioned above. Foundation is very similar to Signature. And Ultralight is the least compressive, primarily due to the ultra light-weight fabric.
My bibs feel super tight when I try them on for the first time! Help?!
All of our bibs are designed for optimal fit on the bike. When trying-on or wearing your bibs for the first time, try them on the bike (or mimicking on the bike posture) to feel an ideal approximation of fit. Different parts of the bibs will fit and feel more comfortable in the riding position vs. standing upright. Also, all of our bib shorts will “break-in” after a few rides and washes, conforming to the shape of the rider. Hence, we offer our 30-Day Signature Guarantee for a complete test. The best bibs don’t feel perfect standing in front of a mirror - the design makes pedaling better.
Are the chamois the same in all your bib shorts?
We’ve developed several chamois for our line that are proprietary to Velocio. These have been developed over years of testing and feedback to be the most comfortable and supportive available for any distance or type of riding. Our Signature chamois has been refined since our launch and the latest iteration is a dual-density pad, incorporating an anti-vibration super high density layer with a supportive high density layer to create all-day comfort and support. It’s available in anatomic specific versions in our LUXE, Signature, and Ultralight bib shorts. The CONCEPT bib shorts have a proprietary fully-integrated chamois. This innovative design is comprised of a multi-density padding that is attached to the short by a highly elastic liner, creating a floating pad that conforms to every movement with minimal bulk and allows for a uniquely free pedaling motion. Lastly, the Foundation bib short uses a pared back version of our Signature pad with a single high-density foam and recycled top fabric, creating a great mid-distance pad with medium support and slimmer form factor.

The Velocio Signature Guarantee underscores our mission to create a better cycling experience. We believe that riding in our gear is the best proof of our commitment to quality and performance. Therefore, we stand behind everything we make. Try any of our products for 30 days to ensure it meets your needs. Wear it. Ride in it. Wash it. We believe it will provide a better riding experience. If you are not 100% satisfied with your Velocio product, you may return it within 30 days of receiving the product.

Back for a repeat purchase of these bibs because I liked the first pair so much. Bought two more this time, and my feelings are the same. These really have become my favorite bibs in my line up. Will continue to accumulate these. Wouldn't mind another color or two like a dark grey to choose from.
After resisting bibs for most of my riding journey, I finally caved and bought this one. Now I'm never going back to shorts. Fit feels great, easy to clean, and the seat padding is perfect. I already bought a second one.
These are remarkably great bibs for the price. I’d give them 4.5 stars not considering price, with the half star reduction for the slightly fiddly straps in the back and the slightly older school leg grippers. These are equivalent to many other company’s higher end offerings but at a fraction of the price. The chamois is splendid.
Fit, Style and comfort are indeed without question. I do question the durability. I am on my 2nd pair that have had issues in the stitching securing the chamois to the lycra. 1st bibs a hole developed in the lycra near one of the stiches. Velocio did quickly replace it. Thank you! On the replacement pair of bibs (which I've worn in a 3-bib rotate for only 9 months) there are stitches loosening again where the chamois is stitched to the garment. I am not rough on these and use them only for road cycling. I'm 5'11", 165lb. Always hand wash and hang dry. Hopefully the stitches can be repaired and I'll be on my way!
Only just started using but initial impressions are great. Like the shape of the chamois and it’s not overly thick or bulky. These seem to do a great job of feeling like they are a part of my body. I’m 5’11” 175-180 and a L is perfect.
We build cycling kit for a better riding experience. Our repair centers can work magic with general wear and tear and support our sustainable mission by extending durability and the lifecycle of every product.
Ride in a new piece of kit for that 30 days and if for any reason you aren’t satisfied, return the piece for a complete refund. There’s a better way to ensure each piece of clothing is right for you and our guarantee promises just that.
Our commitment to the environment goes beyond sustainable measures, durable clothing and a focus on circular manufacturing. We commit 1% of our annual revenue to sustainable causes including climate-focused non-profits, and bike advocacy groups.
