VeloNews Buyer's Guide Pick: Summit Stratos Bib Review

July 12, 2017

"The lay-flat laser-cut bib straps are a must for any high-end bib shorts, and Pactimo's version is exceptionally comfortable."

"The Summit Stratos Bib Shorts have a chamois that is thicker than most, yet unlike other big chamois we've worn, the Stratos avoids bunching and discomfort in the saddle. You'll notice that thick chamois if you're walking around the coffee shop, but that's not why you buy these shorts.

You buy them for the Cerami-K body fabric that's made from - you guessed it - ceramic to help dissipate heat on long, hot rides. It worked well enough that we didn't notice heat build-up on super hot days, and as an added bonus, the material wraps around your legs snugly. Perhaps that helps keep the big chamois in check."

"We got up early in the morning for our Journey to Goodland Kansas where I was about to embark on a 9-day bike ride; I had never done anything like this before and was excited for this new challenge. Despite having started packing the week before, I was up till midnight checking on gear and feeling like I was forgetting something. We left Missouri at 7am and seemed to travel forever. About 8 hours later, we rolled into Goodland and got ourselves checked in and a camping spot secured for the night."
