With the New Year comes that moment of self-reflection: could I step my favourite hobby up a gear? Is it time to treat myself to some new apparel? Where the hell did these love-handles come from? Whatever your motivation is, Rapha is here to get you back in the saddle!
The Cargo Bib Short have been created to allow you to carry everything you would in a jersey. They have been tested for over a year across Europe, Australia and Argentina to ensure they can hack both extreme conditions as well as casual cycling. There are pockets on both legs and the upper back, where you can store snacks, money, your phone, keys - whatever you need on the ride without committing to a jersey. This means you can wear whatever you like, be it a looser-fitting t-shirt or a high vis vest.
Constructed from 71% nylon and 29% elastane, these bib shorts are super lightweight as well as water-resistant. This means the rain can never be an excuse not to ride as the water simple beads off as you pedal. They are suitable for up to 30 degrees centigrade and the perforated chamois allows for both ventilation and quick drying, whilst the regular fit provides a close but relaxed comfort. It is longer in the torso and well suited to longer rides. For extra visibility there are two reflective stripes on both legs and a reflective stripe on the back of the shorts, where it can be clearly seen by other road users. The low-cut front upper has been designed for comfort on and off bike, as well as making things more manageable for when nature calls, whilst the secure stretch closure on the pockets makes sure your items are kept safe no matter how hard you work.
The Cargo Bib Shorts are a great all-rounder: suitable for all types of cycling, they allow you take your essentials with you and keep you cool and dry throughout the ride. RRP £195.00
