![]() The long leg has the silicon gripper applied straight to it so there's no hem or band to be overly restrictive, overly loose or chafe. We found that the material used is nice and lightweight with a gentle compressive feel, they just slip on your legs and feel like they should have always been there. But don't let this mislead you, the Sportful Classics are an outstanding set of bib shorts. Even Sportful has held back on the marketing hyperbole.

If you are concerned about potential transparency Velocio's own Signature Bibs might be worth considering, though they won't be quite as breathable. Our tester had a few issues at a side seam, thankfully none at the rear, so we'd definitely recommend sizing up if you think your hips are bigger than average - Velocio's chart only uses height and weight, no hip or waist metrics. Velocio claims that the fabric is only 140 grams per metre, yet totally opaque. We thought the shorts felt rougher than the others we reviewed, though it wasn't noticeable once we were riding in them. Unlike most of Velocio's range, the Ultralights don't use recycled fabrics.

The Elastic Interface chamois is exceptionally supportive - certainly suited to endurance riding.įabrics are robust while still remaining light and breathable, the medium pair only weighs 35g more than Velocio's Ultralights. It's not surprising that the shorts feature Assos' classic X-frame and the chamois boasts Golden Gate both are winning features and make for a supremely comfortable short. Our tester found it to be one of the easier-to-use designs she's experienced. It all makes for a simpler comfort break and helps distribute any strain on fabrics more evenly. In its 2022 UMA GTV shorts, Assos has moved the easy-pee access from the front to the rear, and used two clasps rather than one. Clasps may irritate if you stop in a cafe ![]()
