Northwave Active Bib Shorts

Made with the light and breathable K110 pad, the Active Bib Shorts from Northwave are the ultimate athletic choice for the road. Compressive without ever feeling tight or uncomfortable, the Northwave Active Bib Shorts keep fatigue at bay so you can go harder and further than ever before. The construction in both the shorts and bibs dampens vibrations considerably for a significantly more comfortable experience as you pedal, and the mesh fabric that makes up the top section allows for plenty of cooling, moisture-wicking air to flow in and out when you’re up against it. The shorts are perhaps where the most impressive features are, including the legendary K110 pad at its heart. 15% lighter and 22% more breathable than your standard chamois, the superior protection offered is every bit as effective at absorbing shocks with ease, perfect for medium to long term rides. Microfibre bands do a great job of keeping everything in place, and it’s all rounded out with reflective details catching the eye of other road users when light is low.

Features

  • Superior-support K110 pad with reverse technology guarantees record-breaking breathability
  • Compression fabric reduces muscle vibration thereby decreasing the feeling of fatigue and improving athletic performance
  • Mesh braces for increased breathability: The leg cuff construction combines a 4.5 cm microfibre band plus gripper with a raw-cut panel for a perfect firm fit without any constriction
  • Reflective details on legs and back
Andrew I'm very happy with these bib shorts. The material has a bit less friction on the bike seat than some other bib shorts, which is handy for those longer days on and off the saddle. Very comfortable and strong material, and very breathable - I come away from a ride feeling fresher. Highly recommend.
Mr Wong Size L just about right for 6ft (183cm), length is about a palm's width from knee. The leg cuffs don't bite into your thigh which is good however they aren't very gripy.
