The motto also gives a sense of direction: with a clear idea of the apparel’s characteristics and how it is supposed to function, product developers went to the drawing board to design and develop the Stratos Bibshorts from scratch. The result: a product that is ultra-light, comfortable and stripped down to the essentials. MATERIAL: LYCRA STRATOS – 40% LIGHTER During development, Lycra Stratos was used to create a material that is 40% lighter than conventional Lycra (130 g/m2 vs. 200 g/m2), without having to compromise on opacity. This is possible through a special weaving process where each elastic polyamide fiber is woven separately with a colored polyester fiber. The extremely lightweight woven fabric is also treated with a hydrophobic coating, so it dries even faster. CYCLING PAD: REDUCED TO THE MAX - 24 GRAMS The new Stratos cycling pad consists only of a single layer of material, which provides the necessary support for longer rides in the saddle, despite the high flexibility and the low positioning. Thanks to the slightly perforated mono-block layer, the pad is also extremely breathable. All of these properties, combined, make the padding weigh only 24 grams – that’s roughly as much as five, normal A4 sheets paper. CONSTRUCTION AND SEAMS: ACTIVESEAMS AND POWER BAND Even a new solution was developed for the seams, called "ActiveSeams." The new seam remains flat, strong, flexible and stretchable in any which direction. Just as well, inside the bib shorts, there are no height differences, since the friction on the inside of the shorts has been reduced. For the extremities of the legs, Bioracer incorporates a wide, elastic power band, which does not irritate the skin and distributes the pressure more evenly, over a wider contact area. Bioracer's Stratos Bib Shorts are minimalist cycling shorts that combine light weight with maximum comfort like no other bib shorts ever before and, thus, cater more to the demands of professionals.
