Why We Love Our Split Ends Cargo Pocket Bib Shorts for Long-Distance Riding

If you’ve ever battled through a long ride in regular shorts, you’ll know how quickly small irritations become big distractions. That’s why bib shorts are the go-to for endurance cyclists and why our Split Ends Men’s Cargo Bib Shorts are the best we’ve ever made.

Ross, who thrives in multi-day stage events, says it best: “I always reach for the bib shorts. They take pressure off the gut and let me focus on riding, I'd never got back to normal shorts.”

Why Bibs Beat Regular Shorts

• No waistband = no stomach pressure, just deeper breaths

• Shoulder straps keep the chamois locked in place

• No sagging, bunching, or irritation

• Sleek fit means better aerodynamics and protection
