Compressive fit with all-day comfort and support
The Summit Raptor Bib has been engineered to provide a muscle-soothing, compressive fit. Raptor fabric is not only tightly woven and extremely durable but features Flash coldblack®, a moisture-wicking technology that reflects heat and pulls moisture from the skin so you stay cool and dry. Adding to the long-distance qualifications of this bib is the 7+ hour Road Performance Force Chamois from Italian manufacturer Elastic Interface®.
With its multi-density foam and exceptional air permeability, the Force Chamois will provide all-day comfort over a variety of terrains. Breathable, lightweight mesh and raw-edge, double-knit straps combined with soft, raw-edge leg bands make this bib virtually invisible to the wearer.
Raptor Fabric
The tightly-woven Raptor fabric provides a performance enhancing, compression fit that increases oxygen delivery to active muscles in motion. Flash coldblack® technology throughout pushes heat and perspiration away from your skin while also reflecting UV rays so you stay dry and cool, even on the hottest days.
Minimal Uppers
The redesigned uppers are not only extremely supportive, but incredibly comfortable as well, so much so, that we say they will disappear during your ride. To accomplish this, we've used a combination of breathable/lightweight mesh around the waist and raw-edge cut, double-knit fabric for the shoulders and front straps.
Clip&Pit™
With our easy Clip&Pit™ design you can answer the call of nature without having to remove your jersey to pull off bibs straps, which is typically a deterrent to wearing bibs. Just unclip the chest strap and the stretchy construction of the uppers and waist girdle allow you to easily pull the bib down as you bend into the natural position for relieving yourself.
The Road Performance Force Hybrid is Elastic Interface Technology's new long distance stitched chamois and it differs from the previous pad in two ways. Firstly the new “combination foam insert” provides differentiated density in key pressure zones (ischial and pelvic track) making this pad even better on long distance rides and at the same time it adheres softly to the athlete’s body.
