Body Clone technology patterns bib shorts on a curve rather than flat, matching the body's natural position on the bike. Giordana's FR-C Pro Cargo Bib Short applies this approach throughout the construction, eliminating the puckers and creases that occur when flat-cut panels conform to a bent riding position. The result is a short that fits properly from the moment you clip in rather than requiring miles of adjustment and shifting.

The HC50 High Compression Power Lycra provides the foundation. At 220 grams with a 50 thread count, this fabric delivers the compressive properties of power Lycra with a softer hand feel than typical race-oriented materials. The compression supports without constricting, maintaining consistent pressure through multi-hour efforts. WorldTour teams have tested and validated this construction across thousands of race miles, and the same pattern and materials appear in this consumer version.

Panel placement addresses the specific demands of different contact zones. Anti-abrasion fabric covers the seat area where saddle friction accumulates. The Ametista Carbon waist panel provides structure at the transition from leg to torso. Inner thigh panels use 77% polyamide and 23% elastane for stretch and moisture management, while outer thigh and waist panels blend 78% polyester with 22% elastane for compression and shape retention. The 190 E woven elastic leg cuffs anchor the shorts without the squeezing sensation that silicone grippers can create.... Read More
