Rapha Brevet Element Cargo Bib Shorts for Men All-Weather Adventure CyclingEmbark on your most ambitious long-distance rides with the ultimate in all-weather performance and storage: the Rapha Men´s Brevet Element Cargo Bib Shorts. Engineered for self-sufficiency and protection against unpredictable conditions, these bib shorts are the definitive choice for epic journeys, multi-day adventures, and any ride where the weather is just another challenge to be overcome. Forget the forecast and focus on the road ahead, knowing you are equipped with cycling apparel that works as hard as you do.The core benefit of the Brevet Element Cargo Bib Shorts lies in their exceptional weather resistance. The front-facing panels are constructed from a wind-blocking fabric that shields you from chilling headwinds, helping to maintain your core temperature and reduce fatigue on long, exposed stretches of road. Furthermore, the entire short is treated with a high-performance Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, causing light rain and road spray to bead up and roll off. This crucial feature keeps you drier and more comfortable for longer, allowing you to push through unexpected showers without compromising performance.Redefining on-bike storage, the Cargo functionality liberates you from the need for a traditional cycling jersey. Featuring two quick-access mesh pockets on the thighs, these shorts provide ample, secure space for essentials like energy gels, a phone, or a route card. This design allows you to pair the bibs with any top, from a technical t-shirt to a base layer, increasing versatility and comfort on warmer days or multi-day tours. Additional pockets on the rear of the bib section offer even more capacity for tools or extra layers.Endurance comfort is paramount, and the Brevet Element Bib Shorts deliver with Raph´s proven, dual-density Brevet chamois pad. Specifically designed for long days in the saddle, this pad provides exceptional support and pressure relief. It is also perforated and quick-drying to enhance breathability and prevent discomfort over countless hours of riding. The main body of the shorts is made from a supportive, stretch fabric that offers gentle compression to support your muscles, while the lightweight, breathable upper bib straps lie flat against the skin for a secure and barely-there feel. For enhanced safety in low-light conditions, reflective details are strategically placed to increase your visibility to others.Key Features:* Wind-blocking front panels for protection against the elements.* Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment to shrug off rain and road spray.* Easy-access mesh cargo pockets on the legs for essential storage.* Additional rear pockets on the bib straps for extra capacity.* Award-winning, dual-density Brevet chamois pad designed for long-distance comfort.* Supportive and compressive main fabric to reduce muscle fatigue.* Lightweight, high-stretch bib straps for a comfortable and secure fit.* Reflective...
