Fit + Ride Tip
This bib runs relaxed / performance-articulated—enough room to layer without blowing out the silhouette. If you stack bulky mid- or insulating layers, or want extra freedom in the thighs, size up.
Ride Tip: Assume your riding stance (knees bent, weight forward). If you feel tension in the hips, lower back, or thighs while crouched, that’s your signal to go one size larger. The suspenders and waist adjustments let you fine-tune once you're suited up.

If you hover between sizes or plan to layer bulkier gear, scale up.
Care & Maintenance
-
Fasten all zippers, flaps, suspenders, and drop‑seat closures before washing.
-
Use a technical gear cleaner (no softeners, bleach, or regular laundry detergents).
-
Wash cold or warm on gentle cycle.
-
Rinse thoroughly to remove residue.
-
Tumble dry low/medium (if allowed) — heat helps restore DWR finish.
-
Reapply DWR periodically (spray‑in or wash‑in) to maintain bead performance.
-
Spot-clean stains quickly — avoid aggressive scrubbing on seams or membrane faces.
-
Store dry, loosely, and ventilated — don’t compress while damp.
-
Repair small abrasions early with GORE repair tape or patch kits before damage spreads.
