Review: Super comfy pad on the longest, hottest rides, great quality & well worth the money cycling Albion_Cycling
The Albion ABR1 bib shorts are ideal for riding day after day in hot weather, are impeccably finished, and made largely of recycled materials.
The legs are a single layer of Lycra – you can just about see through the material when holding it up to the light – while the rear panel includes a double layer. Special mention should go to the straps: they are really comfortable, almost velvety to the touch. I don't think I've ever audibly"cooed" at pulling on a pair of bib shorts before, but I did with these.'pocket' gravel version of these shorts, which Hollis reviewedIt's excellent on the comfort front, smooth to the touch but deliberately minimalist and quite firm, so it doesn't have that"nappy" feel of some pads in other endurance bibs I've used.
