What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "These are my go-to knickers for mild spring and fall rides-they give my knees just enough coverage, the chamois feels great hours in, and the fit stays perfectly in place without any pinch or bunching."We ride in the Q36. 5 Gregarius Essential Bib Knickers when we want the performance of high-end bib shorts with a little extra coverage for transitional weather. This 3/4-length version of the brand's iconic Salopette Gregarius Ultra features a new pre-shaped ergonomic cut that supports a natural pedaling position and a proprietary leg band finish for secure comfort without compression marks. The redesigned crotch area positions the chamois exactly where it's needed for long-mile comfort, while the anti-stress cut relieves pressure during sustained efforts. A lumbar support panel provides added stability, and the high-tech fabric blend-including Dyneema(R) and silver fibers-balances muscle support, breathability, and durability. At just 188g for a size medium, they deliver warmth and coverage without slowing us down.
