DeMarchi Pro Bib Shorts
What makes a legend? Is it an unwavering dedication to quality; a passion for perfection; or the will to continuously innovate? We say all of the above, and we also say that without a doubt, De Marchi embodies these principles. With its Pro Bib Shorts, you witness an evolution in design that started in 1946, and as we feel, will continue long past we're gone. De Marchi really covered all of its bases with Pro bib shorts by selecting the ideal fabrics for its construction. Accordingly, the Pro has been made from genuine Sports Lycra. This material provides a slightly compressive fit that isolates key muscle groups for protection from detrimental road vibrations. However, as supportive as the Lycra is, you don't have to worry about a constrictive feel or sweating in it like it's a skin suit. In fact, this fabric is designed to be extremely breathable and with a heightened level of elasticity. As for the uppers, you'll notice that the front portion of the straps maintains the Sports Lycra construction, while the rear portion features an elastic mesh construction. This combination of materials provides the ideal ratio of support and breathability. For the fit, the Pro bib shorts feature one of the most sophisticated and legendary design patterns in the business. De Marchi calls this its Contour Technology, but you can call it perfection. Contour is essentially a three dimensional design process that accounts for both your body in motion and, more importantly for fit, in the cycling position. Basically, this has been achieved through a contoured collection of six deliberately placed panels that work in cooperation with the fabric's limitations and stretchable qualities. So, you can expect the same degree of support, stretch, and coverage regardless of if you're climbing on the hoods or buried in the drops. Furthermore, the fit has been secured by De Marchi's seamless, pre-shaped leg grippers and elastic mesh uppers.
