Where innovation meets comfort the Companion Collection comes at play. A highly technical pair of bib shorts to take on your longest rides, biggest adventures and testing your limits. The extremely light but dense fabric from France based woven stretch innovators Payen lays at heart of the piece, giving the feel of a second skin, best tested compression properties and never seen before abrasion resistance. Equipped with two cargo pockets on the legs as well as additional mesh pockets on the back of the bibs it offers an exceptional amout of storage. Enough for you to carry all the nutrition for your most remote rides, tools for long bikepacking adventures or extra layers when riding through different climates. The leg opening is laser-cut with our signature gridded silicone on the inside to keep the bis in place even after hours of riding. For an anatomically compressed fit the leg opening is slightly tapered. The straps are constructed for optimal breathability while still balancing an excellent fit.

The Payen fabric used for the Bibs offers a 4-way stretch, that naturally supports muscles and joints, balancing compression and freedom of movement as it's never seen before. The innovative woven construction engages with the natural moving pattern to prevents muscle fatigue. It's highly abraison resistant while still being more lightweight than regular bib fabrics on the market. To create an even more lightweight sensation the extra back pockets on the bibs are made from a mesh-like, long-lasting Payen fabric.

Sourcing the best pad for our bibs we went for the Elastic Interface HCS Pro Peloton. The gender specific pad balances lightweight and comfort at the highest level. High density foam keeps a low profile without compromising its comfort. Its anatomic shape and different densities throughout the construction offer all day comfort, especially when in riding position. Antimicrobial properties and the zig zag stitching add to the longevity of these bibs.

We've teamed up with Payen to source and use the best possible fabric for our Companion Bibs. If you'd like to learn more about Payen, please read the interview below.
