Men's Elite Bib Shorts
Long-Distance Road Bibs. Thick Gel Pad. Made in the USA.
The Aero Tech Designs Elite Bib Shorts are purpose-built for long-distance road riding, offering the ideal balance of support, compression, and comfort. These USA-made bibs feature a strategic blend of two high-performance fabrics—one with 83% polyester and 17% spandex, the other with 77% nylon and 23% spandex—to create a perfect, body-hugging fit that moves with you while delivering light compression to reduce muscle fatigue. At the heart of these bibs is the Elite Chamois, a 15mm thick pad made from a combination of high-density foam and gel fibers, engineered to provide cushion and support for 8+ hours in the saddle. Breathable mesh straps hold the bibs in place without restriction, while silicone leg grippers keep the shorts secure during hard efforts. With premium materials, expert construction, and a focus on endurance performance, the Elite Bib Shorts are ready for your longest road rides.
