The Scott RC ProTec bib shorts are great to wear whether your on the bike or on the tarmac

Falling off a bike hurts, and although there are plenty of ways to deal with road rash, surely the best thing is to not have to deal with it at all. Step forward the Scott RC ProTec bib shorts, which feature a special fabric in the side panels designed to prevent road rash.

The fabric, which is also used in the matching RC ProTec jersey, has been developed in conjunction with Schoeller, and is a blend of carbon yarns and ceramic printing, meaning that it has a great resistance to abrasion than the standard lycra found in most cycling shorts.
