DESIGN - ALTITUDE bib shorts
THE ALTITUDE cycling shorts is the culmination of our work in the field of cycling shorts.
We wanted a versatile model that could satisfy both the competitive cyclist seeking results and the recreational cyclist wanting to explore their potential on longer courses. But above all, we wanted to offer an ultra-technical, high-performance cycling bib short that was manufactured locally and sustainably.
To achieve this, we sought out a high-density chamois designed to accompany you on rides of more than 8 hours. Made in Italy by a market-leading company, the chamois is 14mm thick and has a density of 140kg/m³, as well as shock-absorbing technology. And to remain true to our commitment to a sustainable future, it is made from recycled polyester and bamboo.
We also paid particular attention to the choice of its main material. The lycra that makes up the ALTITUDE cycling shorts It is both soft and compressive, made by a French company in the Rhône-Alpes region. It is designed for aerodynamics and therefore offers a fairly long cut. The fabric is solution-dyed for durability, as we have observed that the color of many cycling shorts fades over time. In addition, we have eliminated or flattened all seams to prevent The risk of friction. Essential over long distances.
Rather than using an elastic band around the thighs that could compress or eventually stretch out, we opted for a laser-cut design with a silicone insert to keep the bib shorts in place. This means you won't notice your bib shorts riding up during your rides.
But the real peculiarity of ALTITUDE cycling shorts is invisible, hidden under your jersey:
- The women's cycling shorts offer removable straps, the Easy'loop system, at the back to allow you to satisfy a natural need without having to remove your top. We have observed a strong demand for Bib shorts without straps, but we are convinced that they are essential to keep the chamois in place and prevent friction. After some thought, we came up with the idea of developing this removable fastening system that takes the best of both worlds. Inspired by backpacks Messengers For bicycle couriers, this metal fastener allows you to detach your suspenders at the base of your back and to Keep your jersey on while removing your cycling shorts. A game-changer on long outings.
The men's cycling shorts feature one-piece, elastic, seamless straps to prevent chafing. With a full, ventilated back panel, they will keep your shorts in place in all conditions and will be virtually unnoticeable during your rides.
The culmination of these innovations gives high-performance cycling shorts, designed in Italy (not far from our offices in Annecy) and in a responsible manner. This is a product we are proud to present to you and which we guarantee the quality !
