Built on our latest generation Signature chamois, this fall-season favorite has the comfort and support to go long. Made with supportive and compressive Thermoroubaix Power, the Thermal Bib Short has a feel similar to our lauded Signature Bib Short, with the added protection of a fleece lined and DWR treated fabric throughout. A wind block panel at the front crotch for added protection from the cold makes these shorts truly versatile down close to freezing when paired with our Thermal Leg Warmers. An ideal cyclocross training bib or a go-to choice for those willing away the cold weather months.
A Note on Fit and Sizing: All of our bib shorts and tights are designed to be compressive. There are many benefits of compression for cyclists, and finding the right size bib short with the optimum fit is key.

Fabric: 54% Polyamide / 32% Polyester / 14% Elastane
Made in: Italy
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.
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 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. To learn more about our bib range, please check out our Bib Guide.
Our jerseys and bib shorts are intended to be form fit, providing compressive support, maximizing performance of the fabrics, and reducing fatigue and chafing. Due to the compressive nature of the fabrics, you will be able to fit into more than one size. Please use the charts below to help determine your optimum size:

United StatesPurchased these with the intention of using for a gravel race in Iceland. The race day conditions were super wet and windy with temperatures around 50 and these worked perfectly.
United StatesDecided to to try out Velocio after the rave reviews from my girl friend. I'm 5'9" at 170-175lbs. I have bibs from Castelli (L), Coure (M), and Rapha (M) for comparison. Based on the sizing charts I'm at the split point between S and M, went with Medium. During try on I thought the compression could have been tighter, but after actual use I find the tightness to be just right. The shoulder straps are deceptively comfortable. Thought that they might be too long, but in reality I had gotten too used to material cutting into my should. The Signature chamois feels like it has varied material density like the Cincelli X2. Hands down better than Core or Classic Rapha chamois. The Core chamois feels more like cheap foam now when compared to the Velocio. Kept me very warm and comfortable during rides between 32-50F (haven't ridden them outside that range). I had also purchased the Rapha Classic Thermal bibs ($235) for comparison. I kept the Velocio bibs as they are hands down better. On top of that, to get the same material features offered by Velocio (thermoroubaix, wind block panel, and DWR), you actually need to jump to the Rapha Pro level at $270. Superior value and build by Velocio at this price point.
United StatesBeautifully constructed, these thermal bib shorts are perfect for colder days but not dead of winter; think 38F to 50F. With leg warmers, it provides coverage for 90% of my winter rides. Fit is true to size. Pad is very comfortable and straps well thought out and executed. A superior product.
United StatesThe Thermal Bib Short has exceeded all of my expectations. Warm, just the right amount of compression, great chamois, and all around very high quality materials. Wind protection in the front is key, I had no idea how much of a difference it would make!
United StatesI’ve tried thermal bibs from other brands but they were ill fitting and had chamois that felt like sandpaper after a couple hours. These fit like a glove and keep me warm and comfortable for 5 hour rides. I need a second pair.
