GOREWEAR
GOREWEAR, a leader in high-performance running and cycling apparel, has unveiled the Ultimate Bib Shorts+, the latest addition to its cycling collection. Designed for the most demanding road and gravel rides, these bib shorts feature a custom-designed, multi-layer 3D printed seat pad for unparalleled all-day comfort and support.
The development of the Ultimate Bib Shorts+ involved collaboration with top fabric and seat pad manufacturers. The result is a bib short offering body-mapped compression, support, and breathability, while minimizing chafing and pressure points. This innovative product earned the 2023 ISPO Award.
A key differentiator of the Ultimate Bib Shorts+ is the proprietary EXPERT N3X 3D-printed seat pad. Engineered in partnership with Elastic Interface, this pad uses layer-by-layer construction for superior technical control compared to traditional foam pads. Additionally, the pad is crafted from an eco-friendly, bio-based hydrophobic material with a recycled face fabric, reducing the environmental impact.
