Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. It’s 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. You’ll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86°F (30°C) 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. Don’t 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.
The Ultralight Bib Short takes all of our knowledge and development from our award-wining range of bibs and asks the question: How can we make it lighter, yet still perform? Leveraging relationships with Schoeller and Cytech we pushed to create a bib short that was 30% lighter than our Signature Bib Short, yet didn't compromise on function. The result exceeds even our expectations.
While the look and aesthetic of our bibs is simple and refined, it's what's inside that really makes the difference. For this, we offer our Signature Guarantee: the opportunity to give any pair of our bibs a test drive - risk free.
Our proprietary UL Chamois was developed with Cytech [ EIT ] to be the lightest all-day chamois available.
- Perforated 120kg/m3 HD Foam for unmatched support
- Refined anatomic shape
- Super Air base & specially engineered fabric for excellent breathability
- Fewer components and simplified construction for lightest weight and high breathability
Our unique bib upper design keeps layers to a minimum, while maximizing stability and support.
- Microfiber 45mm narrow knit straps are super stretchy for comfort and wide-range fit
- Independent crossed-strap design moves with you: no tugging or shifting
- Seamless and ultra-soft
Designed to provide just enough compression to keep the shorts in place, our leg grippers disappear when riding.
- Ultra-soft Italian narrow-knit microfiber
- Printed silicone dots on the inside for grip
- Provide grip, without pinching
The Ultralight Bib Short sits at the warmest weather end of our range. Geared towards keeping you cool and comfortable with the mercury is topping out and the humidity would otherwise have you seeking shelter.
Our complete range of bibs & tights are designed to keep you covered regardless of the conditions.
Designed as our all-day bib short created from the softest, most luxurious fabric we could source. Minimal seams and high density knit compression fabric provide unmatched comfort and support for long days in the saddle.
Our go-to bib short for any ride. The Signature strikes the perfect balance of compression/support and breathability to be the most versatile bib short we make. Excels at any duration of ride through the broadest temperature range.
Feather-weight and incredibly breathable, the Ultralight is designed for the hottest days. Made from coldblack treated Schoeller ultralight lycra, and our lightest (yet super supportive) chamois, making them roughly 25% lighter than the Signature.
Perfect for the cold weather months - fleece lined, with wind blocking panels and water repellent treatment. Pair with Winter Leg Warmers for even more versatility.
Velocio fit is designed for comfort and performance. Starting with a form-fit silhouette, we've developed our men's-specific patterns from the ground up to compliment a wide range of body types and riding styles. All of our apparel is tailored for on-bike fit to ensure optimal muscle support and range of motion while riding. You may find certain aspects of our garments to seem "off" while standing, yet once you start pedaling these points disappear.
Velocio bibs and shorts are made from highly compressive performance fabric for excellent support through an athletic fit. They will feel small when you first put them on and will often require washing and a few rides for them to "break in." We strongly believe in the benefits of compression - both in its performance benefits, as well as in its long-distance comfort - and we've designed all of our bibs with this in mind.
Should you want a more relaxed fit, we recommend ordering a size up. Find your fit through our sizing tables below.
Chest - Start by placing a measuring tape around the largest part of your chest. The tape should be flat but not too snug.
Waist - Your natural waist lies between your bottom ribs and hip bones, close to the navel. To measure, breathe deeply, relax your stomach and lie the tape measure flat around your waist, allowing for a ¼ inch of slack.
Hip - Measured around the widest point of your hips.

I’ve been cycling for over 2 decades and have tried nearly every bib out there. I picked these up at my local bike shop and was impressed with the quality of the material, but most importantly I wanted something that could withstand long hours in the saddle. I’ve been wearing these on some long rides the past couple of weeks and was impressed how comfortable they are. The attention to detail of the entire bibs is refreshing. Definitely will be looking to get some more.
mostly positive, a little concerned that a seam maybe opening by the chamois on the inner thigh- fit very snug, may try a medium next time- materials excellent
These are my new favorite bib shorts. I’ve used them on some really hot days (95F+) and they really were nice and cool/light for me. Material is excellent and the overall fit is very cozy. I just bought another pair!
Excellent chamois and fit is supreme. 6 foot 3 inches 175. Large is perfect.
I picked up these bibs to help with those super hot summer group rides in New England. When they arrived, I threw them on for a long training ride, and I have to say I was amazed. They fit so well - no gaps, just right, not too tight. Wearing these bibs, it felt like the pedals just went faster. These aren’t just for those super hot days - they are fast, smooth bibs for all of summer.
