Velocio Luxe bib short review: an expensive but stellar performer
The Luxe bib shorts have had a revamp, but have the updates improved an already great product?
Velocio Luxe bib shorts are the brand's best-selling product and have been for quite some time. The latest version of these shorts features updated legs, waist, and straps that claim to enhance performance. The design is minimalist, featuring a robust fabric that Velocio claims to be more substantial than other bib shorts, with only two leg panels to avoid irritating seams.
The shorts have a matte black finish with small reflective Velocio branding on the thighs and buttocks. The waist is Lycra-bound and sits higher than the previous model, above the belly button. The upgraded straps have a mesh panel for better positioning and motivational words printed on them. The seat pad remains unchanged, using multi-density layers for comfort, breathability, and moisture management, and reduced padding along the center to minimize pressure.
The shorts are made from 57% recycled polyamide, arrive in compostable packaging, and Velocio is committed to 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of sales to environmental organizations. Velocio offers a 'Ride with confidence' guarantee for comfortable wear and return. The shorts come in various sizes and colors, and they are well-suited for both road and gravel rides, with comfortable padding and stability.
Despite their high price, these shorts offer excellent comfort and support, making them worth considering for serious cyclists.
