The original Omloop knee - length thermal cycling bib shorts are now crafted from full Nano Flex 3G fabric, perfect for all weather conditions, whether it's dry, cold, or wet. Years ago, we introduced the first Omloop thermal short, inspired by pro riders trimming their knee warmers at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on a brisk morning. We designed a bib short that reaches just to the knee bend, eliminating the need for a gripper elastic. The extra 10 - centimeter fabric adds significant warmth. Initially made with Thermoflex fabric for cool, dry conditions, the new 2020 third - generation Nano Flex fabric is as soft, stretchy, breathable, and warm. This makes these shorts great for cool and dry days as well as wet ones. They're the same model supplied to Quick - Step Alpha Vinyl. Key features include: Nano Flex 3G fabric that's water - repellent, stretchy, and warm with a luxuriously soft brushed interior; reduced seams for comfort and to keep water out during wet rides; a knee - length cut for extra warmth without a gripper elastic; mesh bibs that don't over - warm the upper body, allowing you to dress according to the weather; a Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad for long rides; a weight of 257gm; suitable for temperatures between 12°C - 20°C (54°F - 68°F); and a performance fit.
How to use: Put on these bib shorts like you would any regular cycling shorts. Adjust the bibs over your shoulders for a comfortable fit. The knee - length design provides extra warmth without the need for a gripper elastic, so just let it sit naturally at the bend of your knees. These shorts are great for cycling in various conditions, from cool and dry to wet. You can wear appropriate upper - body clothing according to the weather as the mesh bibs won't add extra warmth. Things to note: Make sure to choose the right size for a performance fit. Avoid sharp objects that could damage the fabric. Maintenance advice: After each use, turn the shorts inside out and rinse them with cold water. Use a mild detergent and gently hand - wash. Don't wring them out. Hang them to dry in a shaded area. Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh chemicals as they may damage the water - repellent property of the Nano Flex 3G fabric.
