Chamois: The multi-density chamois featured in the Paragon V2 Bib Shorts absorbs saddle vibrations and improves overall comfort and breathability.

Stand out features: The big stand out feature is the integrated protection on the back and hips. The back panel features an innovative mesh compartment that contains a removable soft viscoelastic shock absorbing foam. This CE certified back protection is level 1 certified. There is also impact absorbing padding located on the hips. The overall garment features a minimal seam construction for comfort and material integrity. You'll find soft elastic cuffs with silicone grippers along the bottom hem- these help keep things in place and chaff free. Convenient floating storage is located on the lumbar section of the back. These three floating pockets allow the garment to be worn with baggy shorts without impeding the storage. The upper straps are a constructed from a highly breathable mesh.

Pros: This is a terrific piece of attire. A bib-short with integrated protection. With riders pedalling further than ever before (e-bike or not) some extra protection never goes astray.

Cons: Hip/thigh storage as well would really top this bib short off.
