Some riders prefer shorts over bibs but still want proper waist support and chamois positioning. The Louis Garneau Neo Power Motion 2 Shorts address this with a higher waistband that provides more contact area than traditional cycling shorts, delivering stability closer to what you'd get from bib straps without the shoulder harness. If you've dealt with shorts that slip down or create uncomfortable gaps at the waist during hard efforts, the HiTop design solves both issues while making bathroom stops significantly simpler than bibs.

Power + LYCRA fiber and Endurexx fabrics handle the compression work, molding to muscle contours without restricting movement.
