Howies men’s bib shorts


Howies don’t disappoint with these bib shorts. They’re made from a polyamide fabric that’s fast wicking, stretchy and feels great against your skin. The small/ medium size was about right for our 5ft 11in tester, with long enough shoulder straps to prevent that awkward wedgie sensation.

They’re soft enough to not rub your nipples up the wrong way too. The foam pad is up to 8mm thick in places and provides enough cushioning in the right areas to prevent you crushing your private parts. A nifty pocket sits on the right bib strap that’s perfect for stashing your keys in. Even after not washing the bibs for a couple of rides [not something we’d recommend ~ Ed], the antibacterial finish helps to keep them whiff free.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
