Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.
FAQ
What is the inseam length of your bib shorts?
As a general rule of thumb, all of our bib shorts are designed to be as close to the same length as possible. Different fabrics have different fits and elasticity so this is not always an exact science. As a baseline, however, our Women's bib shorts are 22cm (8.7") from the center crotch to the leg gripper in size M, with +/- 1.5cm (0.6") per size grading. Our Men's bib shorts are 25.5cm (10") in size M, with +/- 1.5cm (0.6") per size grading.
What is the main fit difference between bib short models?
All of our bib shorts are designed to fit consistently across the size range, meaning if you wear as size L in our Signature Bib Shorts, you will also likely find the size L to be the best fit in our other bib shorts. In terms of fit, the main difference is the amount of compression each bib short offers. LUXE is our most compressive, followed by CONCEPT. We hear often that these two look quite small and take a bit of effort to get on - trust us when we say it's effort well spent. Signature is what we'd call medium compression - still higher than most other brands, but not as compressive as the two mentioned above. Foundation is very similar to Signature. And Ultralight is the least compressive, primarily due to the ultra light-weight fabric.
My bibs feel super tight when I try them on for the first time! Help?!
All of our bibs are designed for optimal fit on the bike. When trying-on or wearing your bibs for the first time, try them on the bike (or mimicking on the bike posture) to feel an ideal approximation of fit. Different parts of the bibs will fit and feel more comfortable in the riding position vs. standing upright. Also, all of our bib shorts will “break-in” after a few rides and washes, conforming to the shape of the rider. Hence, we offer our 30-Day Signature Guarantee for a complete test. The best bibs don’t feel perfect standing in front of a mirror - the design makes pedaling better.
Are the chamois the same in all your bib shorts?
We’ve developed several chamois for our line that are proprietary to Velocio. These have been developed over years of testing and feedback to be the most comfortable and supportive available for any distance or type of riding. Our Signature chamois has been refined since our launch and the latest iteration is a dual-density pad, incorporating an anti-vibration super high density layer with a supportive high density layer to create all-day comfort and support. It’s available in anatomic specific versions in our LUXE, Signature, and Ultralight bib shorts. The CONCEPT bib shorts have a proprietary fully-integrated chamois. This innovative design is comprised of a multi-density padding that is attached to the short by a highly elastic liner, creating a floating pad that conforms to every movement with minimal bulk and allows for a uniquely free pedaling motion. Lastly, the Foundation bib short uses a pared back version of our Signature pad with a single high-density foam and recycled top fabric, creating a great mid-distance pad with medium support and slimmer form factor.

United KingdomGreat fit but not warm enough
I really like this bit, nice materials, great pad and good fit (XL for 6’2”). But they just aren’t warm enough for the coldest days. They are only good enough down to 3 degrees Celsius, anything lower than that and I reach for other tights.

United KingdomVery high quality tights, just not quite warm enough for me
Firstly, the customer service has been outstanding. I wouldn't normally order direct from the US to the UK, but they have been incredibly helpful and really care about getting the right product and fit out to you, and delivery has been prompt. I'm 6'2" and they did recommend the Zero tights in size large, but when they arrived I really had to stretch the material thin to get them on and the straps were pulling my shoulders down. They quickly sent out a pair in size XL and they were a much better fit over the legs, still a bit tight over the shoulders but not distractingly so. The tights are obviously of very high quality and the chamois is excellent. However, they are not quite as warm as I would have liked for the warmest tights in the range. I took them out on a ride where the first half was hovering around 2 degrees Celsius and they were perfect for that. But the temperature dropped to around freezing for the second half of the ride and I could definitely feel the chill, particularly on the outsides of my thighs. There are excellent tights, among the finest I have tried - and I have tried tights from most of the main manufacturers - but I would really like to see Velocio produce a thicker pair for those sub-zero days.

GermanyBrilliant quality and the right protection!
I bought the Zero tights in size medium, for cold coastal winters where temperatures hang around a humid 0C / 32F. I'm 186cm tall and around 85kg and the medium fits very well. My experience so far has been fantastic. The quality of both the materials and the finished product is excellent, and the pad is comfortable. The panels in the front have more protection, and the panels behind the leg are sometimes a little cool when I start riding but quickly warm up to a good neutral as I'm moving. The chamois is also very comfortable, which also leads me to the one thing I can think of with these tights that isn't completely perfect: the chamois is very breathable, which, when combined with a saddle cut-out, can lead to a very "fresh feeling" when it's cold out. I ride with fenders so no moisture concerns, but it's worth mentioning that one point. I wonder if Velocio considered a more wind-blocking material in that area and decided against it to ensure good moisture transfer. Overall, I would definitely buy these tights again, and I'll be placing my next order for other times from Velocio soon. Thank you!
