We took the same great fit and comfort of our Signature Short and sought where we could make the short more affordable without generally compromising quality. A new lightweight, recycled fabric gives balanced compression and an opaque finish. With the same leg gripper and trims found on the Signature and a high-density chamois, these shorts provide excellent support in a slightly thinner form - perfect for shorter distances or the mid-week lunch ride. With all that packed in, the Foundation is a premium bib short at a not-so-premium price.

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.

United StatesIn my favorites
Love these riding shorts! Super comfortable. I did have to order a few sizes up. I’m typically a medium/large and ordered a XL.

I do most of my biking indoors and these shorts are a game changer. No chafing with these. I got one pair as a gift, and immediately bought another pair. I feel they run small so if you're on the fence - go a size up.

United Statesmuch smaller than expected.
I'm 5'2"105 lbs -- the size chart says, I'm right in the middle of the "XS". Ordered. I couldn't get these over my hips - as soon as they came out of the package, they looked like they would fit a 4th grader. :-). I'm not sure how well they work bc I never got them on. Definitely size up if you're ordering. In EVERYTHING I ordered in XS was way too tight -- like uncomfortable tight...not race fit tight. Size up my friends.

Thanks for the feedback Mrs. O! All of our clothing is designed to be compressive as there are many beneifts to it in cycling. We definetely recommend using the Dimension Details size chart, as different body shapes might require sizing up or down accordingly after using the height/weight table. But we're glad you were able to take advantage of our Signature Guarantee! Let us know if you need anything else! service@velocio.cc

United StatesLess expensive Velacio shorts - not worth it
These are almost the most uncomfortable cycling shorts I've ever worn. The fabric has almost no stretch, which makes they stiff to put on, and not terribly comfortable to wear. Also, the waistband doesn't sit at the waist.

United StatesGreat bike shorts!
My friend Devin recommended these chamois to me. They arrived promptly and service was great. I am 5'11" and ordered a XL. They are very slightly snug but are not too small. The fit and padding are super comfortable! I am planning on buying another pair.
