Best of Three Worlds
When designing the Hybrid Bib Shorts we wanted to provide the padded comfort of a gravel bib with the looks of a baggy MTB shorts, as well as the option to ride casual tee-shirt style, still with the pockets of a gravel or a road jersey. Our solution is the best of, well, not two, but three worlds. The Hybrid Bib Shorts has an innovative 2-in-1 combo design which blends a tight padded lycra base layer including a comfy chamois padding, with a baggy wind resistant MTB shorts on top. The third ingredient is placed in the back of the mesh suspenders, with three mesh pockets in the same place and function as the back pockets of a roadie jersey. Pretty clever, right?
Our Choice of Fabric
The outer shell short is made of wind-resistant fabrics that provides a ventilated feeling while giving you the protection needed. The inner lycra short has a snug feeling that will give a comfortable ride all the way through the finish line.
The Key Features:
On the lower back you have easy access hidden mesh pockets where you can stash a lightweight jacket, gloves, food or even an extra bottle (if you for some reason is not riding with a USWE hydration pack. But, seriously… why shouldn't you ride with a USWE pack? We have so many options for the trails. And, for your information only, as this might be a hidden secret; even if you carry an extra bottle in the back pocket of a jersey or as in this case the Hybrid Bib Shorts, you will still be able to carry a USWE hydration pack like the Outlander PRO, the Rush 8 or the MTB Hydro 3 as these packs sits higher on your back and doesn't interfere with the pockets. Now back to the topic…). On the right leg there’s a zippered pocket for your essentials.
Why it Kicks Ass
When you crave for a baggy MTB shorts and a casual tee-shirt, but still don't want to loose the comfort of a chamois bib and the pockets of a gravel/roadie jersey.

- Unique chamois Bib and Baggy short combo, 2-in-1
