Q36.5 Dottore L1 Bib Shorts - Ladies

Not just a women pad into a bib short. We studied, researched, and calibrated a modern bib short for women based on the study that we did for the brother Salopette Dottore: an ergogenic women bib short for the needs, function, activity, and anatomic/ergonomic women body.

Gradual Compression

The original ergogenic philosophy of the Salopette L1 (which produced its signature “snug fit” as well as – more subtly – the vectorial elasticity of its leg panels, guiding an economical pedaling action) has been further tweaked through the addition of the jacquard woven “Y-pattern” found across the surface of the leg panels of il dottore.

This “y-pattern” serves not only the aforementioned aerodynamic purpose but also one of graduated compression. A close observation will reveal that the pattern has been used in 4 shifting levels of density, which correspond to the 4 different levels of graduated compression, from greatest compression at the bottom of the shorts (where the fabric is now left unhemmed, with an integrated gripper, to further reduce weight) to least at the top, around the groin area, thus stimulating an enhanced so-called “pump-effect” of blood circulation (also known as venous return)
