Scatto Trade Squadra Bib Short

For the discerning rider tired of ill-fitting apparel, the Giordana Scatto Trade Squandra Bib Short offers the best in compressive support and soothing comfort as you crank down the road at a blistering pace. Realizing that sloppy fitting bibs leave much to be desired when you're pushing yourself on longer rides, Giordana uses Moovix Power Lycra for the mainstay of the short. Not only does this hollow-structured fabric provide firm compression, but it's also incredibly lightweight and moisture-wicking for optimal temperature regulation. It's treated with an anti-odor finish that resists funky build-up.

Along the outer thighs, Shield Endurance compressive fabric resists fading, even after multiple washings. This is handy for keeping this pair of bibs looking pristine, seeing they'll be in constant rotation throughout the cycling season. Another key benefit is its UPF 50+, which protects your legs from the bombardment of UV rays you'll experience in sunnier months. To finish off the leg bottoms, Giordana uses a six-centimeter leg band that won't create the pinching effect of a traditional elastic gripper, instead opting for sewn-in silicone threads for slip-free security.

Only found on the finest bibs in Giordana's line, the Cirro OmniForm chamois is a multi-density affair that's permanently infused with Aloe to eliminate chafing from slowing you down. This soothing Aloe infusion cuts down on the amount of chamois cream you'll find yourself using throughout the cycling season, especially on multi-hour rides. Memory foam of varying thickness dissipates vibration transmitted through the saddle, so you'll stay comfortable on the road without irritation compromising your power output.
