Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Ultralight Bib Shorts earn their title with weightless fabrics that are perfect for warm weather riding or indoor sessions. While they aren’t limited to warm conditions, the fabric’s breathability certainly handles it well. With a comfy pad and good levels of compression, they are an ideal choice for long or short days in the saddle, as well as indoor sweatfests. Correct sizing is key to ensuring fabric's opacity, as our tester discovered.

Warm weather isn’t a luxury we all have, that’s not to say you shouldn’t be armed and ready with a pair of lightweight shorts for it when it arrives though… and if it doesn’t, at least with the Ultralights from Velocio, you have something suited to an indoor cycling session.

We tested these bib shorts as part of a women's bib short grouptest, alongside Endura's FS260-Pro Bibshort DS, the Cafe du Cycliste Adeline Fade Women's Bib Shorts, and Assos Women's UMA GTV Bib Shorts C2.
