At Interbike I received a bib to test from Veloce (pronounced velo che) Speedwear. From their Collection series they gave me the Wide-Band bib. Based out of Florida, this company makes high quality cycling wear.
Wide-Band conforms to your legs with comfort.
Product description:
- Exclusive, premium Italian chamois
- Nylon/Lycra material
- Flat stitching in three color options (grey, red and yellow stitching)
- Highest quality in comfort.
In the past, I have typically worn either baggy shorts or the conventional lycra shorts. This past weekend I wore the bib to the SC Velo XC Challenge. The Veloce bib provided me with pure comfort for 12 miles as I rode on a fairly thin saddle. The chamois was so comfortable that I didnt not have any discomfort during and after the race. The bib stayed inplace as I was on and off the saddle in between climbs and decents. Thus far, my first experience wearing the Veloce Wide-Band bid was a good one.
First impression:
- comfortable
- non restricting
- wide-band felt very comfortable around my legs
I’ll be wearing this pair to several races left in 2008 as well as weekend trail rides. Look for a complete review towards the end of the year.

I purchased some Veloce shorts and the flatlock stitching started to fall apart after a few washes, I will NOT recommend it for mounatin biking.
Hello Mike,
