Men’S Road Cycling Bib Shorts Optimum 2 Navy By Garneau

Designed for cyclists seeking reliable performance without breaking the bank, the Optimum 2 Men’s Bib Shorts deliver a seamless blend of comfort and functionality for everyday riding adventures. Engineered for endurance enthusiasts and casual riders alike, these shorts combine advanced fabric technology with thoughtful design elements to keep you moving confidently from dawn till dusk—and beyond.

Crafted from our signature MAT fabric, these bibs provide a compressive yet flexible fit that supports muscle stability during long-distance rides while maintaining a full range of motion. The moisture-wicking properties ensure sweat stays away from your skin even during intense workouts or hot weather commutes, while built-in SPF/UPF 50 sun protection shields you from harmful UV rays on sunny trails or morning training sessions. For breathability under pressure, strategically placed PowerMesh panels keep air flowing freely where you need it most.

The AirSport chamois is tailored for comfort over hours in the saddle—perfect whether you’re clocking miles on weekend group rides or tackling your first century challenge. With a plush yet breathable design, it reduces friction and pressure points while maintaining support through varied terrain and seating positions.

Practicality meets performance in every detail: A discreet thigh pocket securely holds energy gels or keys during multi-hour journeys, while Powerband leg grippers eliminate mid-ride slippage without restricting movement. Reflective trims and logos enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making these shorts ideal for evening commuters or early morning solo riders who prioritize safety without sacrificing style.
