PRIMAPELLE WOMEN BIB SHORTS

PISSEI PRIMAPELLE WOMEN BIB SHORTS

The Pissei Primapelle Women Bib Shorts is a women's bib short for ambitious riders who value comfort and a natural second-skin feel. The highly elastic, lightweight fabric hugs your body and delivers noticeable compression without feeling restrictive – ideal for long summer rides and training blocks. The single outer seam reduces pressure points, while raw-cut leg openings with a silicone gripper keep the shorts securely in place. In the saddle, the TruFlo RacerPro Woman chamois with floating technology provides lasting support for hours on end. Pissei, rooted in Tuscany since 1978, has been kitting out WorldTour team UAE Team Emirates since 2023 – a strong testament to the technical maturity of the collection.

Technical Details and Features

The TruFlo concept separates the skin-facing fabric layer – with its friction-free properties – from the dedicated foam padding, reducing friction and maximising ventilation for quick drying. The RacerPro Woman variant is designed for longer days in the saddle and is rated for a use duration of up to around 5 hours. The minimalist construction with just one outer seam distributes pressure evenly and promotes a smooth pedalling feel. The raw-cut leg opening with hypoallergenic silicone provides a secure hold without hard seams or edges. The fabric is made from 71% polyamide and 29% elastane, which explains the blend of stability, stretch, and quick recovery. The temperature recommendation is around 12–24 °C and above, making these shorts particularly well suited to the warmer season.

Use Cases and Benefits

Whether it's a base-building ride along Lake Zurich, sharp intervals on the road bike, or a longer gravel loop through the Mittelland – these women's bib shorts come into their own in warm conditions. The second-skin fit prevents bunching, the silicone gripper holds firm even at high cadence, and the chamois stays comfortably stable when the pressure builds. On long climbs and fast descents in particular, the combination of compression and freedom of movement delivers real support. Thanks to quick drying, they're also a great choice for hot days, indoor sessions, or short weather windows in the Alps. If you're looking for a lightweight, reliable cycling bib short that won't get in the way on tarmac or fine gravel, you've found it.

Care and Fit

The fit is Primapelle Fit: close to the body, but naturally mobile so you never feel restricted. If you're between sizes, go slightly smaller for more compression or slightly larger for maximum long-distance comfort, depending on your preference. To keep them in great shape, follow the care instructions: 30 °C delicate wash, wash inside out, separate colours, and please do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry. This keeps the silicone gripper tacky and the chamois retaining its shape even after many washes. The shorts pair perfectly with lightweight summer jerseys from the Primapelle range and can be combined with a gilet or arm warmers depending on the ride.
