FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Stones Cargo Off Road Bib Shorts?
The primary benefit is the combination of enhanced storage through integrated cargo pockets, excellent performance due to anatomical fit and supportive fabric, and UPF50+ sun protection.
What temperature range are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are recommended for temperatures between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius.
How should I wash these bib shorts?
You should machine wash them at 30 degrees Celsius with similar colors. Avoid bleach, dry cleaning, ironing, and tumble drying.
Are the cargo pockets waterproof?
The pockets are made with Air Mesh Ultralight and are designed to be sweat-proof for essentials, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is special about the Green 4H seatpad?
The Green 4H seatpad offers excellent protection, ventilation, and quick-drying properties, and it is fully recyclable.
Can I carry my smartphone in the pockets?
Yes, the well-sized hip and rear pockets are designed to securely carry essentials like a smartphone, along with other items.
What materials are used in the main construction?
The main fabric composition is 78% polyamide (recycled fibers) and 22% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Pockets feel insecure for small items.
Ensure items are fully tucked into the pockets and the mesh design is not stretched. For very small items, consider using a small, sealed bag within the pocket.
Chafing during long rides.
Ensure the bib straps are correctly positioned and not twisted. Verify the seatpad is suitable for your riding position and duration. Proper chamois cream application can also help.
Reduced breathability or overheating.
Ensure the brushed mesh back panel is not obstructed. If the shorts feel warm, they may be better suited for the cooler end of the recommended temperature range.
Fabric feels too compressive.
The compression is designed to be supportive. If it feels excessive, ensure the correct size has been selected. Allow a few rides for the fabric to adapt to your body.
