Men's LUXE Bib Short

This was my first Velocio purchase, won't be my last. I'm always hesitant to invest this level of $ into any new company/product when I've got no problems with other high end offerings (Le Col, Assos, Pactimo), but from first couple of 3+ hour rides in these I will enthusiastically be reaching for these ahead of the rest. I wouldn't abuse them on indoor/trainer rides, but whenever I need that little something extra special for a ride, these would be my choice. The sizing chart is a bit unusual--with most other brands I'm stretching medium or loose in large, but according to Velocio I'm small (6'0", 145#). Nevertheless, I went medium and they fit perfectly. Fit is "compressive". If your body jiggles a bit as you move around, then that translates to "tight" and it might be best to consider a looser "club fit". If you're a bit more fit/less jiggly, then this translates to "gives your thighs a comforting hug in appreciation of all the work they're doing". These felt great when I first put them on, and only got better with each mile during the ride. I rated these as "runs small" only because I'm smack in the middle height-wise, 30# lighter than medium specs, but medium fits me perfectly. The straps crossing on the back took a little thought to slip into but feels fine. For first ride I deliberately avoided any base layer to try out the straps, zero rubbing, perfectly comfortable. No slipping or movement during the ride and I was up and down, soft pedaling and hammering, bouncing about. Chamois is obviously highly personal and subjective. My minimum performance expectation is that if you're applying cream, it's probably because you've got bad bibs. 3+ hours on a hot and humid ride and I felt no discomfort, though was starting to notice the effects a bit. I'm sure they'd even be fine for a century, but if I were to imagine the perfect Velocio bibs it would probably be the compressive fit/material of these Luxe paired with the higher end chamois of the Concept line. Ovfeall, though, wow! Excellent product.

Awesome, so soft.

These have been my first-choice bibs since purchase. They’re super comfortable, especially the shoulder straps compared to other companies’ offerings. Chamois is medium-profile (neither thick nor thin), and performs well for that profile. My personal preference is for a thicker chamois, but on these bibs I don’t mind. My only real complaint is the olive green color shows sweat pretty distinctly, and I sweat a lot. Mostly it shows in the hip creases and crotch area, which isn’t a big deal while riding but is noticeable off the bike. That said, I’m still reaching for these bibs before all others.

Super comfy “all day” bibs used mostly for gravel rides. A little hard to get the braces to lay flat in the back. Love the olive color. Top quality material and fit.

Really liked these in the NE spring, but hot and humid days make these shorts feel like a wetsuit. Don't deal with sweat well at all well.
