Bib Shorts or Traditional Cycling Shorts: Which 
One Should You Buy Online?
Let’s be real—if you’ve ever sat on a bike saddle for more than an 
hour, you know how crucial the right pair of shorts is. Whether 
you’re just getting into cycling or you’re a seasoned racer, one 
question always pops up: “Should I go for bib shorts or stick with 
traditional cycling shorts?” If you’re planning to 
buy cycling shorts online, this blog is worth diving into.
Understanding the Basics: Bib Shorts vs. 
Traditional Shorts
Traditional cycling shorts are your regular bike shorts with an elastic waistband. 
They’re easy to wear, no fuss. They’re a great option for beginners or casual riders. 
But the waistband can sometimes dig into your stomach, especially on longer 
rides. 
Bib shorts are a bit more advanced. They come with shoulder straps—like cycling 
overalls—and they eliminates the waistband altogether. That means less pressure 
on your belly, no slipping down. They ensure Better comfort, improved fit, and 
enhanced performance.
Why More Cyclists Are Choosing Bib 
Shorts
Ever stood at a starting line, shivering in the 
cold or soaked from head to toe?  That’s 
exactly why Spatzwear has created the Spatz

doesn’t.
These bibs are designed, tested, and 
manufactured right here in the North of 
England. They’re made from 100% recycled 
fabrics and built to handle cool, cold, and 
downright nasty conditions. Think of them as

Targeted Warmth Where It Matters: The hi-stretch Roubaix fabric is fleece-lined in all 
the right spots—giving you warmth without sacrificing movement. You’ll feel cozy

designed for those long-haul rides—comfort, 
guaranteed.
Thoughtful Design Details: Cut just above the 
knee and equipped with subtle silicone 
grippers to hold their position. Best part? If 
you pair them with our BURNR leg warmers,
