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.

After searching for years for the perfect female chamois I have finally found it with this bib. I spent years suffering from saddle burn and sores. I did all the recommended things to prevent this, annual bike fits by professional bike fitters, tried many different saddles, chamois cream, tried different bib sizes, etc. but nothing worked well enough when I would go on all day long endurance rides. I tried all the top name bibs, Rapha, MAAP, Machines for Freedom, and although I felt those bibs were all very high quality items and I liked them, nothing fully prevented my saddle burn until I purchased this Velocio bib. The Velocio chamois is well padded and spans just a little bit wider than most on the inner thighs which I find helpful, and is ultra protective but doesn’t feel bulky when you ride. The quality and feel of the fabric of the shorts is SO nice, I feel it’s the most luxurious bib I own, you could even say it’s sexy that’s how nice it looks! The leg grippers hold and stay in place better than any other bib I’ve worn, I never have to adjust anything. The only dislike I have is that I wish it had the option to purchase it without the front mesh panel. I can see how this would be helpful if you are large breasted, but for someone who is not I found that the mesh panel just makes me hot and very sweaty on my stomach. The bib straps felt slightly tighter than my other bibs too which I was concerned about, but once I rode with it I didn’t even feel them at all. As for the pull down option to ***, I don’t see how this works well. I tried and there is just no way there is enough stretch of the fabric for these to come down in the back when I crouch. I am someone who tends to be in between sizes, I wear an XS snugly and SM is just slightly big on me, so maybe that is why I have trouble with that feature because I am wearing a snug XS. But overall a life changing chamois for me so I wanted to share my review for those women out there who may have very sensitive skin like me that is prone to chronic saddle chafing!
The most comfortable, ride-all-day bibs I’ve ever owned.
i’ve haven’t tried many brands, but after trying these i don’t need to try anymore. they are compressive, comfortable and well made.
So comfortable on the bike. Quality does make a big difference! I bought the small and exchanged for an XS. The customer service at Velocio is amazing. I love the 30 day guarantee.
I had to figure out sizing between a small and extra small, and the service at Velocio is the best I’ve ever experienced. They are quick to send items out, quick to process returns and the 30 day trial makes ensuring you get the best products for your needs. I LOVE the shorts so much that I purchased the knickers too. These are the only two bottoms I wear. Thank you for the amazing customer service!
