Lungo Bib Short
Specifically designed for the refined rider who wants a technical bib short or short with a slightly less aggressive fit. The soft material offers comfortable compression perfect for casual rides, gran fondos, and bike tours.
Fit
The best of both worlds, the Lungo Bib Short combines a technical double-faced medium compression fabric, perfect for any ride, with paneling that supports a wide range of cyclists and body types. A more forgiving fit is achieved through its core system that provides maximum comfort around the waist and hips. A turned over hem finish on the leg offers a soft and supple finish.
Technology
The Icon fabric is the star of the new Lungo. Allowing for all-day use without losing its compression over the length of your ride, this double-faced technical microfiber fabric uses a large square knit with a super soft interior that excels the movement of moisture for a fast drying short while promoting micro massaging effects to keep your legs fresh for those long rides. New bib straps offer great return and are lightweight, with micro perforations on the inside – not on the outside edges – allowing the straps to breath and stay flat.
