The heart of any bibshorts is the pad. For the Pave Green we use a female specific Performance 2 pad, with triple density padding to give you support where you need it most (and more modest padding where you don't). The firmest padding goes right under your sit-bones - soft padding compresses over the course of a long ride, so high density foam is used at the points where the pressure is greatest. Like the other pads in our range, the Performance 2 features a unique channel which guides and supports your pelvis through a full pedal stroke. Of course the longer you spend in the saddle, the more important it is to stay cool, so the Performance 2 has a Super Air base layer and a soft brushed Cool Cube upper surface for maximum freshness.

A good pair of bibshorts should be a snug fit, so the Paves have a multi-panel design, full mesh back and soft straps to hold them in place, no matter what your body shape. Because British roads are less than smooth, we've chosen a densely woven Topazio fabric for the legs. Topazio has less bounce than regular lycra so it holds tired leg muscles more firmly and reduces fatigue over rough roads. The legs are a proper length too, coming down to the bottom of your thigh. Coupled with a wide elasticated cuff and subtle silicone printing the shorts will stay in place without pinching or causing the dreaded 'sausage leg'.
