      Which Bibs Do I Choose?

      It's a good question and one we get a lot. Our lineup consists of three levels of bib: The original Black Bib, The Plus Bib, and The Ultimate Bib. Each of these three have slight differences that can be confusing at first glance.

              • The original $40 bib brings race proven materials to your wardrobe. We use high compression dyed fabric and the Coolmax chamois to create the perfect affordable bibshort.
            •  
              • The Plus bib utilizes the same Coolmax chamois and layout as the original black bib but takes it one step further by incorporating the powerband leg opening. This model is also available in a cold weather version with thermal fabric.
            •  
              • Our Ultimate Bib expands upon these features with the addition of the Ultimate chamois. Within the ultimate line we also have the Adventure Bib which incorporates both side and rear pockets for carrying cargo.
            •  

      The Plus and Ultimate Bib are also available in various colorways and inseam lengths. Differences in each level extend to the tights, shorts, and knickers as well.

      N3X Pad

      The N3X pad features a 3D printed insert which allows for more manufacturing precision when compared to traditional polyurethane materials.

      Why 3D printing? Elastic Interface uses 3D printing for the N3X pad because they're able to alter the density of the pad in specific areas to prevent pressure points. This isn't something that manufacturers can easily accomplish using traditional materials. The open 3D lattice structure also increases breathability, temperature control, and durability.

      Pad thickness varies from 13.5mm at the sitbones to 12mm in the center and 3mm at the front and around the sides.

      Ultimate Pad

      The Ultimate Pad is recommended for riders that like to put in big hours on their rides. It has become a favorite from our retail line after extensive testing by our team riders. The pad's dimensions are optimized to avoid the restriction of movement and the absence of glue and adhesive films ensures that it is breathable allowing air and moisture to transfer through. Measured at the widest point, the men's and women's Ultimate pads are 16cm across.

      * Please note that Ultimate pad color can vary.

      Coolmax Pad

      The Coolmax chamois has a slimmer profile overall which contributes to its flexibility. This pad is an all around favorite for riders that value a more minimal feel. Measured at the widest point, the men's Coolmax pad is 18cm across and the women's pad is 16.5 cm across.

      * Please note that Coolmax pad color can vary.

      Gravel Performance Pad

      These bibs feature the new Gravel Performance pad by Elastic Interface which is designed for the lengthiest days in the saddle. The chamois features a multi-directional curve which contours to the body and allows for perfect fit and stability. Throughout the pad, there are multiple layers which guarantee cooling functions and a soft outer layer which comes in direct contact with the skin.

      The male version of the Gravel Performance pad has a central channel to improve blood flow and reduce pressure and numbness. The women's pad is anatomically designed and pre-shaped with a pressure relief area specifically designed for women.

      Pad thickness varies from 12mm at the sitbones to 11mm (men) / 8mm (women) in the center and 3mm at the front and around the sides. Width is between 190mm for men and 195mm for women across all sizes of bibs.

      Triathlon Pads

      Triathletes know that their gear has to be versatile enough to handle every discipline. Our tri specific pads strike a balance between water shedding capability, cushion, and flexibility so that you can focus on getting to that next transition.

      Power Band

      The Power Band is an Italian silicon-infused power band that we introduced first in our custom lineup. The band is wide enough that it doesn't dig into the skin and doesn't have an irritating raised profile like bibs of old. It works wonders for comfortably keeping the leg opening in place during rides.

      Pockets

      Some of our bibs feature pockets on the sides of the leg panels and on the back. The side pockets are the perfect size for a bar or bananna and the rear pockets are more gel sized.
