The Summit Raptor boasts an engineered compressive fit and a 7+ hour Road Performance Force chamois from Elastic Interface®, ensuring users all-day comfort and support. Raptor fabric utilizes Flash coldblack® technology, a moisture-wicking procedure designed to keep riders cool and dry. Additionally, breathable/lightweight mesh and raw-edge cut double-knit straps make the bibs virtually invisible to the wearer. This combination of features makes the Raptor one of our lightest and most supportive bibs, ideal for long distance.
THE DETAILS
Raptor Fabric: The tightly-woven Raptor fabric provides a performance enhancing, compression fit that increases oxygen delivery to active muscles in motion. Flash coldblack® technology throughout pushes heat and perspiration away from your skin while also reflecting UV rays so you stay dry and cool, even on the hottest days.
CLIP&PIT™: With our easy Clip&Pit™ design you can answer the call of nature without having to remove your jersey to pull off bibs straps, which is typically a deterrent to wearing bibs. Just unclip the chest strap and the stretchy construction of the uppers and waist girdle allow you to easily pull the bib down as you bend into the natural position for relieving yourself. Learn More
Minimal Uppers: The redesigned uppers are not only extremely supportive, but incredibly comfortable as well, so much so, that we say they will disappear during your ride. To accomplish this, we've used a combination of breathable/lightweight mesh around the waist and raw-edge cut, double-knit fabric for the shoulders and front straps.
Long Distance Chamois: With feedback from racers and riders, we’ve moved to the Road Performance Force Hybrid chamois in the Raptor Bib. Developed by Italian manufacturer Elastic Interface®, it offers a smaller-footprint design that reduces overall bulk while maintaining long distance comfort through a multi-density foam design. It has been tested rigorously in 7+ hour rides and race conditions.
