Interbike 2008: Veloce Speedwear

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.
