Product Information
Full details
The Endura Alltrack Bib Short in Black is designed for male adult cyclists seeking comfort and utility on off-road and gravel rides. Its key benefit is the relaxed fit combined with ample cargo storage and a shock-absorbing pad, allowing for extended comfort and the ability to carry essentials. A potential caveat is that the relaxed fit may not appeal to riders preferring a very tight, aerodynamic profile.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 600-Series Pad?
The 600-Series Pad uses Continuously Variable Profile (CVP) foam shaping and Serpentine lattice gel inserts to provide superior shock absorption and pressure relief, especially on rough terrain, preventing numbness and discomfort.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
The mesh rear bib panel enhances breathability. However, the primary materials are Lycra and woven fabrics which, combined with the relaxed fit, may be warmer than very lightweight, race-oriented shorts. They are suitable for most conditions but may be warm in extreme heat.
How do I clean and care for my bib shorts?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry. This preserves the fabric's integrity and the silicone grippers.
What does 'Relaxed Fit' mean for these bib shorts?
Relaxed Fit means the shorts are not tight like traditional race-fit cycling shorts, nor are they baggy. They offer a comfortable, slightly looser feel while still being tailored for performance and avoiding excess fabric.
Can I use these for road cycling as well as gravel?
Yes, while designed with gravel riding in mind due to the pad and pocket features, the comfort and durability make them suitable for road cycling as well, particularly for longer rides or if you prefer extra storage.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are made from a combination of Lycra® and high-stretch woven fabrics for durability and flexibility, with a mesh rear bib panel for breathability.
Troubleshooting
Bib straps feel too tight or too loose
Ensure the bibs are positioned correctly over your shoulders. The fit should be snug but not constricting. If issues persist, double-check sizing.
Silicone grippers are causing skin irritation
Ensure the leg cuffs are positioned correctly on the leg and are not excessively rolled or folded. Applying a thin layer of chamois cream to the leg before wearing can also help. If irritation is severe, consider an alternative fit or product.
Pad feels uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are the correct size and the pad is positioned correctly against your body. Wear for a few rides to allow the pad to break in. Chamois cream can also enhance comfort.
Cargo pockets feel bulky when empty
The pockets are designed to conform to the thigh when filled. If they feel bulky when empty, this may be a characteristic of the relaxed fit and pocket design. Ensure items are placed smoothly within the pockets.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent comfort on long rides, especially on rough surfaces.
- Ample storage with well-placed cargo pockets.
- Durable construction with high-quality materials.
- Breathable design with the mesh rear bib.
- Secure fit thanks to silicone grippers.
Cons
- Relaxed fit may be too loose for riders seeking a purely aerodynamic fit.
- Linen material might be warmer than synthetic options in extreme heat.
- Cargo pockets could add slight bulk when fully loaded.
- Reflective details are subtle, not a primary safety feature.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These bib shorts are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size based on the provided sizing chart for optimal comfort and performance. The low-profile elastic straps are designed for a comfortable fit over or under a jersey.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male cyclists. Compatible with standard cycling chamois cream if desired, though the 600-Series pad offers significant built-in comfort.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric and grippers.
- Drying: Hang to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials and silicone grippers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
