This is the same 400-Mile Bib we have sold for many years, but with a new 8mm Pad instead of the 14mm pad. While it is 40% less thick, it is 40% more dense. The end result is a less bulky pad that is more comfortable for saddles that have a cut-out or a split-nose, unnoticeably different on more conventional bike saddles, and no difference on saddles with De Soto Saddle Seat Pads.

Fit Type: Compressive
Fit Note - Customer feedback suggests ordering one size down from your DeSoto Trisuit size. The 400-Mile™ Cycling Bib Short is not as compressive as our Forza Trisuit. If in doubt email us at contact@desotosport.com

New Features:

Our bibs are snug, but very performance-minded and has two layers of fabric in highstress areas that typically become see-through on many other brands.

New 8mm pad with less bulk and same cushion. This allows the pad to stretch more, and float; which means it can be used as a race piece
Seamless inner thigh eliminates friction against the saddle and thighs.

Favorite Features Remain:

13-panel bib short made of Forza Compressor fabric ensures a perfect fit, and targeted muscle support
3-inch Mobius™ Comfort Compression leg bands keep shorts in place without excess squeezing (no elastic!)
Sheer Mesh™ bibs straps keep you cool
Midsection Support – Our bibs come up a bit higher on the sides than other brands, to cover and tuck in obliques and abdomen. This provides a slimmer appearance and nice support around the mid-section.
3 pockets: one on each outer thigh and one center back pocket that fit cell phones, smart phones, fuel packets, and most sunglasses
Curvilinear™ seamlines and contrast flatstitch highlight panel construction, create an attractive appearance and are extremely durable
Environmentally-friendly and completely free of solvents
Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF RIDING YOUR BIBS OVER SHORTS?

1. No Waistband Pressure
No elastic waistband digging into your stomach.
Better breathing and more comfort, especially in aggressive riding positions.

2. Better Fit and Stability
The straps keep the shorts securely in place.
No sliding down or bunching up — especially during long rides.

3. Improved Comfort for Long Distances
Bibs help the chamois pad (the seat pad) stay perfectly positioned.
Less chance of friction, saddle sores, or irritation.

4. Smoother, More Aero Profile
No waistband bulge, so a cleaner line under a jersey or skinsuit.
Slight aerodynamic advantage.

5. Enhanced Look and Slimming Effect
Our bibs are higher than other and help tuck in the belly and love handles.

6. Ease of bathroom relief
The straps are stretchy enough to pull down for frequent and quick pee stops.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 400-MILE BIB SHORT AND THE MOBIUS CYCLING BIB?

The Fabric:

The 400-Mile Cycling Bib is made of Forza Compressor Fabric with Liftfoil3 center panels - this fabric offers a nice snug compression for the ultimate benefits of muscle support, in delay of onset of fatigue and accelerated recovery.
The Mobius Cycling Bib is made of Mobius Comfort Compression Fabric throughout - this fabric is a little more stretchy, but it still offers some support and compression benefits.

Similarities:

The 400-Mile Pad on both of the above is 14mm thick
Both Bibshorts have the same pockets in 3 locations
Both Bibshorts have same 3-inch leg bands made of Mobius Comfort Compression which eliminates the “sausage leg" squeeze found in other brands.

Inseam lengths:

Small: 8.75" (22.23cm)
Medium: 9.25" (23.5cm)
Large: 9.75" (24.77cm)
XLarge: 10.25" (26.04cm)
XXLarge: 10.75" (27.31cm)
2XL available in Solid Black only

Inseam Note - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.
