New riders often think the flashiest gear will make them faster. Experienced riders know the hours do that, and the gear just has to hold up to them. Equipe is our take on the basics.

Equipe bib shorts

The Equipe bib shorts are plain black, with a mesh back panel and mesh straps. They stay in place, don't add extra heat and keep supporting you through every hour in the saddle. Men's sizes run XS to 3XL.

Equipe shorts

The Equipe shorts are plain black too, made with fabrics from Spain and our high-end Italian chamois. The lycra compresses enough to stay in place while keeping your range of motion, and a wide, non-chafing elastic band grips your legs. With no straps, café stops are quick and they fit easily under a casual top. They suit men and women alike.

Black goes with every jersey you own. Pair either with the Stealth jersey or a solid jersey, or see all black bib shorts.
