4-HOUR BIBS

Ascent Vector Bibs

This is a lightweight, traditionally Lycra-feeling bib short that will perform well over medium distances in a variety of conditions, including hot, sunny days. Flash Technology, a fabric characteristic that helps regulate body temperature, pushes perspiration away from the skin. Larger footprint chamois with more coverage to fit a wider range of riders with additional front coverage for increased comfort and reduced chaffing.

Summit Strike Bibs

This medium to long distance bib has a supportive and dense chamois with a smaller footprint and reduced density at the front and sides, making it extremely lightweight. It also offers a much less compressive fit and extremely silky hand-feel thanks to material that looks similar to the Raptor fabric, but is less tightly woven and has a finer yarn construction. Flash coldblack® technology ensures a regulated body temperature by pushing perspiration away from the skin while also reflecting UV rays.
