Louis Garneau Corsa 2.0 Bib Shorts
We get a lot of folks inquiring as to the benefits associated with expensive bib shorts, and it's easy to see why. You see, we tend to believe in the theory that you get what you pay for, but at the same time, it can be hard to justify spending the better part of a grand on a few strips of fabric, no matter how artfully they're sewn together. Thankfully, there are the Louis Garneau Corsa 2. 0 Bib Shorts, which give you creme de la creme comfort, at a price that's somewhat more palatable than competitive pro-level bibs. And with an 8-panel cut and Garneau's 4Motion chamois, we think you'll agree that these are one of the best values in top-tier cycling shorts.At the heart of the Corsa Bibs is Louis Garneau's 4Motion chamois. Its woven polyester construction offers a high degree of stretch -- in four directions as they note -- which ultimately helps the pad mold to your contours and move with you, increasing your comfort. Mesh vents and channel vents help to move moisture away from your body to keep your skin dry and chafe-free. Multi-thickness, high density foam places more padding where you need it most and reduces it in the areas where it isn't as necessary. All this work makes the chamois fit naturally, as if it's not even there. However, the comfort level after a few hours in the saddle tells you otherwise.The Corsa bib shorts provide the greatest degree of compressive support within Louis Garneau's shorts collections. Lycra Power is used in many locations through the eight-panel design. Panels made from Speed Tech improve wicking due to the lightweight weave, yet they offer incredible sun protection, with an SPF of 50. Carbon-X Mesh and Lazer Rev aid in providing a compressive hold and fabric resilience, which results in the bibs providing excellent support. Truly, these bibs are so light in feel that the support they offer is surprising.The bibs feature a rear pocket for riders who wish to ride with an MP3 player, so you don't have to devote a jerse...
