When these shorts first arrived on the market they were somewhat of a revolution. The top half of the bibs simply tucks into the bottom half, meaning that when ‘nature calls’ you can simply untuck and pull them down.

This means pee stops are easy – but the shorts have a lot more to them. Coldback fabric provides cooling in hot weather, as well as reflective sun protection.

The chamois uses 3 layers and active carbon yarns that help you maintain the perfect body temperature in those areas that sometimes get a bit hot and sweaty, and the legs are of course constructed from multiple panels, with silicone grippers.

These are right at the top of our budget at £79.99, but they do promise to perform.
