Materials & Care

Fabric Content
87% Polyamide Recycled, 43% ElastaneMade in IT
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.
FAQ

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.

LUXE | ELEVATED
The first prototype of the LUXE Bib Short was developed in 2017. Over the last eight years it has been tested across tens of thousands of miles in countless locations.
Since that first prototype, we've taken in a lot of feedback. We kept everything we got right, and fixed anything we didn’t. For 2025, the length has extended to land perfectly above the knee while in riding position, the waistline has inched up for more complete coverage, and the straps have been refined for a long-distance endurance package.
The all-new LUXE Bib Short isn’t starting from ground zero. It isn’t a complete transformation into something new. It’s a series of updates and adjustments that move the same exceptional bib short into rarified air.
The All Day Ride
Predicting everything that might occur on a dawn-to-dusk ride is impossible. Preparing for it isn't.
LUXE In Action
FlyFree
Velocio's bathroom-break solution eliminates any fussy clasps, magnets, or excess fanfare. The unique FlyFree design adds elasticity to the bib straps and pairs it with a careful cut to allow for worry-free roadside stops — no layer removal needed.
French Fabric. Italian Sewing.
LUXE fabric blends polyamide and elastane in an ultra-high gauge lycra born in France.
It is then sewn into a bib short by the same virtuoso Italian professionals who make World Cup soccer apparel and Olympic Skiing Race Suits. The result is unlike anything else out there.
How to Use
The LUXE improves over every extra mile ridden. Sure, it will perform admirably on any lunch ride, but where it thrives is on long-distance adventures. Spring brevets, sun-up to sun-down excursions, and 100+ mile rides are the LUXE’s bread and butter.
