This is the bib you want with the original 400-Mile™ pad that has made this our single best-seller.
Emilio gave these bicycling shorts and bibs the "400-Mile" name from product testing consisting of 400 miles over 4 days. His logic was that many shorts feel fine for 100+ mile rides. The real question is how does that saddle feel when you get on the bike the next morning for another 100 miles...and the next morning? This was the inspiration for the design, the pad, and the name.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF RIDING YOUR BIBS OVER SHORTS?
1. No Waistband Pressure
No elastic waistband digging into your stomach.
Better breathing and more comfort, especially in aggressive riding positions.
2. Better Fit and Stability
The straps keep the shorts securely in place.
No sliding down or bunching up — especially during long rides.
3. Improved Comfort for Long Distances
Bibs help the chamois pad (the seat pad) stay perfectly positioned.
Less chance of friction, saddle sores, or irritation.
4. Smoother, More Aero Profile
No waistband bulge, so a cleaner line under a jersey or skinsuit.
Slight aerodynamic advantage.
5. Enhanced Look and Slimming Effect
Our bibs are higher than other and help tuck in the belly and love handles.
6. Ease of bathroom relief
The straps are stretchy enough to pull down for frequent and quick pee stops.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 400-MILE BIB SHORT AND THE MOBIUS CYCLING BIB?
The Fabric:
Similarities:
Inseam lengths:
Inseam Note - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.
