A great bib short offers performance, comfort, and fit that complements the cyclist while pedaling. Craft has ample experience designing performance clothing for endurance athletes and demonstrates their deep knowledge of anatomic function, compression, and moisture regulation with the Surge Lumen Bib Short. Craft has also driven innovation in serious reflective materials that boldly offer visibility in low-light conditions but aren't recognizable otherwise.

The designers have applied specific fabric, hexachannel knit, and elastane properties to create an incredible wicking and regulating bib upper system that keeps you cool and comfortable, but adds mild compression around the lower torso. The integrated construction to the panel design of the bib short is ideally complemented by the stretch and properties of the 4-way stretch Lycra Sport Energy body control fabric. Panel shapes and seams are designed around the anatomic requirements, as well as the ergonomics of pedaling in the cycling position. Panels complement the muscles and flatlock seams are placed off zones that can cause friction or discomfort. The knit of the fabric is designed to ease moisture and heat away from the skin, and out through the fabric as you move. While this concept is popular and effective, it is safe to say that with running, cycling and XC ski experience and a line of what many consider the world's best baselayers, no company is more accomplished than Craft.

Craft has worked hard over the years to develop cycling chamois pads that fit well, provide the proper sit bone support and skin protection, and quickly wick away moisture. The Infinity C1 is an exemplary pad, and ideal for cyclists who ride hard any time of the year. It's Bio-Ceramic Fabric top sheet feels frictionless and is truly allergic to moisture, so perspiration exits through immediately. Ceramic is also a great thermo-regulator, ensuring comfort regardless of the conditions. Padding is delivered in three different thicknesses (specific to pad sizes, which are based on bib sizes) via a high density foam that is formed with an exploding bubble system, which ensures the highest densities, with structures that support the bubbles, that serve as air channels for heat and moisture to escape as the pad compresses and adjusts under riding pressure. Finally, the foam is cut with an innovative process that removes all excess and eliminates transitions that can cause friction and chafing.

The Craft Surge Lumen bib has all the finishing and details you need, such as the flat bib straps, raw-cut leg openings feel smooth and aero, and silicone print zipper to hold them in place. Finally, the serious luminescence of the Lumen reflective zones offer 360 degree visibility when light is directed on them. The boldness is striking, not subtle. If you seek a performance bib short that checks off all your requirements, and you frequently ride in dawn, dusk, or night conditions, this is the bib short you need. Return to Top
