What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've ridden century days in the Col De La Madeleine Bib Short and it holds up beautifully-literally and figuratively. The Thunderbike Power fabric gives just the right compression, and the C3 pad with gel inserts makes long hours in the saddle feel surprisingly smooth. The seamless braces sit flat and the grippers stay locked in place, even when climbing out of the saddle."Built for iconic climbs and inspired by the legends who conquered them, the Santini Col De La Madeleine Bib Short connects modern performance with cycling's golden age. With its sleek design, technical fabrics, and nod to the Tour's storied past, this bib is more than just kit-it's a tribute to the ride. We count on Thunderbike Power fabric for light compression and muscle support, while the seamless elastic braces eliminate chafe and distraction on extended rides. The C3 multi-density seat pad with gel inserts handles road chatter like a dream, and a "tattoo effect" silicone leg gripper keeps everything in place mile after mile. Finished with reflective logos and a detailed label that shares the story of the collection, this bib short hits the perfect balance of history, function, and comfort.
