Choosing the Right Bib Shorts

  1. Initial feel — when first worn, the shorts should feel snug with light compression. They should not feel loose or baggy.
  2. Position check — adjust the bib straps and leg grippers so they sit flat with no creasing. Nothing should dig into the shoulders or thighs.
  3. Riding position test — get into a cycling position and move naturally. The shorts should feel supportive, not restrictive.
  4. Fabric response — gently pinch the fabric at the thigh and release it. The material should return smoothly to shape and sit close to the skin.
  5. Comfort check — if you experience tightness, pulling at seams, chafing or straps digging in, try the next size up.

Alé pads are designed to be worn directly against the skin — no base layer or additional padding is required.

Gloves

Measure the circumference of your hand just below the knuckles. Alé gloves have a snug fit — it takes a little effort to put them on, but this guarantees maximum grip on the handlebars.
