As summer fades, your summer cycling bib shorts become less optimal legwear: designed to offer maximum breathability, they will do little to shield your leg muscles and lower body from the arrival of cold and wet conditions. The GripGrab AquaRepel Water-Resistant Bib Shorts are your solution – a pair of comfortable padded bib shorts that offer waterproof and windproof protection, to keep you riding in comfort through the transition seasons and into winter.

These bib shorts utilise the same high-stretch softshell fabric as the GripGrab AquaRepel Leg Warmers: this three-layer fabric features a 100% waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane to shield your legs from cold weather and rear wheel spray. The protective fabric has a four-way stretch profile to allow for a close and comfortable fit, with maximum freedom of movement.

On areas not using the fully waterproof membrane fabric, such as the underside of the legs and waist, a soft brushed fleece fabric is used to offer added breathability and further body-mapping stretch. This fleece fabric, as with the other fabrics on the shorts, is treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment – so it too effectively shrugs of rain showers and spray.

The seatpad used in the AquaRepel Bib Shorts is from Italian market-leader Elastic Interface. The LIÈGE HP seatpad guarantees superior comfort during long distance rides thanks to the very high-density foam inserts. These are strategically positioned to offer pressure relief on the pelvic track, seat bones and perinea. The perfect combination of perforated foams of different densities ensures exceptional breathability and maximum freedom of movement.

Reflective details have been added to the bib shorts to help enhance your road presence in low light conditions, while silicone grippers on the leg hems and flatlock seams ensure the bib shorts stay firmly and comfortably in place, worn with or without leg warmers.

Designed in Denmark for the unpredictable Scandinavian autumn and winter, these bib shorts will keep you warm, comfortable and protected from the elements as you clock up those winter rides.
