Giordana’s EXO System Bike Shorts turn fabric sourcing into an art form using four proprietary fabrics that enhance muscle performance and give you every advantage to slip through the air. First, it places Moovix at leg panels. This compression fabric works to support your muscles without squeezing them into submission using a hollow microfiber with a breathable honeycomb structure. Several of the leg panels are sewn with the new Grandfondo material, a lighter weight knit with an even higher threadcount than Moovix. Finishing off the legs is Zaffiro, which, while featuring a soft inner layer, resists abrasion to extend the life of your shorts. Drawing from the FormaRed series, the EXO System Bib Shorts also use the Ametista Core Contour. In addition to a heavy gauge Lycra, carbon threads reinforce and support the knit. Carbon allows omni-directional stretch for a comfortable fit around your waist. Illusion mesh panels allow for ventilation as do the AeroFix bibs. Flatlock seams and shaping that conforms to the body while in cycling position turn the EXO bibs into a second skin, helping to slice your way through the air. Finally, the chamois uses the Cirro O. F., a waffle-textured memory foam that is infused with antimicrobial aloe vera particles. Its 4mm padding and channel design keep you comfortable and dry.

The Giordana EXO Bib Knickers represent the progression of the storied Italian company’s envelope-pushing ethos, incorporating strategic compression along major muscle groups to reduce fatigue, maximize blood flow, and eliminate sore knees commonly experienced by long-distance cyclists. And though it may sound rather strange, these knickers are intended for warm-weather use, thanks to their oh-so-light AeroFix Pro bib uppers and Mesh Xpansion knee panels, which enhance thermo-regulation on the hottest summer rides. Using every ounce of knowledge gained from years of research and design, Giordana engineered the EXO Bib Knickers with strategic support along the tendons connecting the patella to surrounding muscle groups. A higher level of support along the knees virtually eliminates the pain experienced by cyclists pushing their limits on leg-crushing climbs, also facilitating uniform pedal stroke for maximum efficiency. Moovix Lycra paneling along the leg panels increases blood flow to reduce fatigue on spirited training rides and long-distance hauls. Moreover, you’ll find similar compressive fabrics from the lower knee to the calf, and along the lower legs.Another impressive feature with the EXO Bib Knickers is the aloe-infused Cirro OF chamois. Not content with a simple aloe treatment, Giordana actually infused particles of aloe vera directly into the chamois’ threads. This prevents the aloe particles from washing away after a few uses, but more importantly, it protects and heals the skin during punishing rides and races.
