Engineered specifically for long-distance gravel epics and off-road escapades, these high-performance Santini Cargo Bib Shorts combine exceptional durability with clever storage solutions. Crafted from an exclusive high-density woven Lycra fabric, they deliver superior abrasion resistance against rough trail elements while maintaining a soft, second-skin feel. Dual side leg pockets and additional lumbar pockets allow you to stow small essentials and nutrition securely within arm's reach.
At the core of all-day comfort is the advanced C3 chamois, featuring an ergonomic 3D surface and a protective gel core that absorbs relentless road chatter and vibration. The upper construction utilizes breathable mesh backing paired with comfortable ribbed elastic front straps to keep everything securely in place. Finished with honeycomb silicone leg grippers and reflective details, these bib shorts are built to handle your most demanding off-road training blocks.

When washing your technical cycling kit, always turn the bib shorts inside out and wash them on a cool 30°C cycle using a gentle liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners entirely, as they coat the moisture-wicking fibres and break down the elasticity of the high-performance Lycra and chamois over time.
