Product Description
The Ale Gravel Stone Cargo Bib Short, are our ideal complement to the Contender Vintage Merino Wool LS Jersey. See our reasoning for these bibs, and learn more HERE.
The Ale Stones cargo bib shorts are best defined by pockets. Maybe you've lived your entire life with pockets, but if you're into cycling, you know the anguish that comes from not having enough pockets. Sweaty backs and bags all over your bike are things of the past thanks to four total pockets: two on the lower back and one on either thigh. These pockets are light enough to not feel like extra material, but still strong and resilient after filling it with your phone or snacks.
What makes these gravel-specific? Honestly, we couldn't tell you. The pockets are probably part of it, and while the bibs use Ale's 'Green 4H' chamois (the same wonderfully comfortably as in the Contender PRR bibs) they aren't any more absorbent or hardier than other chamois. Maybe the most gravel-specific thing is the minimal branding, something we're grateful for.
Elsewhere, you'll find silicone leg grippers at the bottom of each leg and comfortable straps. The lycra material offer's built-in sunblock of UPF50+.
