Pearl Izumi Cargo Bib Shorts Liner Clothing

Featuring Pearl Izumi’s Elite Escape 1:1 Chamois and plenty of storage pockets, the Cargo Bib shorts are the perfect option for long days on the pedals. Designed to be worn underneath more durable shell shorts, they feature a mesh construction to keep you cooler than traditional bike shorts. The non-slip fabric across the front of legs means less friction when pedaling so you can concentrate on the trail ahead.

Who’s this item for: Great for any riders that prefer the comfort of a bib short over regular short liners. Plenty of storage means you could even leave your hydration pack at home.

Time in the saddle: While the actual time in the saddle is not listed by Pearl Izumi, the 1.1 Elite chamois is rated as the second longest ride time in the range.

Chamois material: The materials are not listed, but the Elite Chamois is made with a floating top sheet to reduce friction for all day comfort.

Stand out features: The Cargo Bib shorts feature 2 thigh pockets and 3 rear pockets for all your trail essentials. Carry snacks, water or even tools and spares and leave your bag at home.

Liner material and inseam length: The main body of the liner is made from a blend of 88% polyester and 12% elastane. The side splice is made from 85% nylon and 15% Lycra elastane. They feature a 10 inch inseam.

Fit: This liner uses Pearl Izumi’s Form Fit (see sizing chart) for a snug, close to body feel that engages the stretch characteristics of the material.

Pros: Surprise your friends by pulling snacks from seemingly no where, after riding in comfort all day.

Cons: Some riders do not like the feeling of a bib short over their shoulders, they do not include any lower back or thigh protection.
