De Soto 400-Mile Cycling Bib Short – BB3-2019 Review

De Soto 400-Mile Cycling Bib Short - BB3-2019

  • 78% nylon, 22% elastane
  • We sewed the 14mm 400-Mile Pad into the short, versus on top of the short. This allows the pad to stretch more, and float; which means it can be used as a race piece in triathlon. On the bike, the pad stretches with the short and follows your skin as it moves with every pedal stroke, eliminating the friction that can cause irritation or rashes.
  • 13-panel bib short made of Forza Compressor fabric ensures a perfect fit, and targeted muscle support. 3-inch Mobius Comfort Compression leg bands keep shorts in place without excess squeezing (no elastic!) Liquid Mesh bibs straps keep you cool.
  • Midsection Support – Our bibs come up a bit higher on the sides than other brands, to cover and tuck in obliques and abdomen. This provides a slimmer appearance and nice support around the mid-section. Curvilinear seamlines and contrast flatstitch highlight panel construction, create an attractive appearance and are extremely durable.
  • 3 pockets: one one each outer thigh and one center back pocket that fit cell phones, smart phones, fuel packets, and most sunglasses.
  • Enviro-friendly and completely free of solvents. Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool. Made in USA. PLEASE REFER TO THE SIZE IMAGE ON THE LEFT FOR AN ACCURATE FIT. Inseam lengths: Small: 8.75″ Medium: 9.25″ Large: 9.75″ XLarge: 10.25″ XXLarge: 10.75″

Emilio gave these bicycling bibs the “400-Mile” name from product testing consisting of 400 miles over 4 days. His logic was that many shorts feel fine for 100+ mile rides. The real question is how does that saddle feel when you get on the bike the next morning for another 100 miles…and the next morning? This was the inspiration for the design, the pad, and the name.
