Chpt.3 Cycling Bib Short 1.11 : Climbing Ivy Green

Season:SS17

Brand:Chpt.3

Code:CST92001000

At 260g per sq/m, and a 38% lycra content, the Chpt.3 1.11 cycling bib shorts represent true luxury in cycling apparel and this most important element of your cycling wardobe. In addition to the material weight each pair of shorts are cut from one piece of material, meaning minimal seams and no unnecessary panels. Compare this with a normal World Tour race short which will weigh less, typically around 190g per sq/m, and has lower Lycra content, approx 20%, the principal reason being to allow heat dissipation at maximal exertion, the lower lycra content in order to reduce weight, the down side to the performance benefit being less comfort and lower longevity.

The 1.11 short is different, it is designed for high performance, super comfort and higher longevity. The technical benefits of being cut from one panel of material have a downside in that there is an approximate 40% wastage on the cutting room floor versus 15% for an eight panel short as it requires smaller sections. Logic would dictate more panels means higher expense, in fact it’s the other way round. The 1.11 is an item of apparel that offers performance with luxury.

When racing Millar used Castelli's Body Paint short (so-called because they are one-piece of engineered seamless Lycra), he still own the first prototypes that he tested because he loved them so much. The CHPT3 1.11 Shorts differ from the race version by being more luxurious: no race minimalism has been applied here.

The lycra has increased multi-directional properties and a density that makes it heavier and smoother to touch, the ‘bibs’ feels more like braces than elastic bands. The same gauge of material is used for the braces as is used for the leg of the short, and they’re also hemmed to add to the feeling of quality and also in order to increase longevity. There is no hem on the actual short leg, the material is simply cut and a gripper is bonded internally, makeing for a cleaner and more comfortable finish. The polyamide - lycra blend makes for a close fitting and supportive short that is soft on the skin for remarkable comfort. Quality - though a given with Chpt.3 - is evident in the hand and even more so in the saddle.

The chamois is the same tech as used to race in by the pros, only with a design in tribute to a good friend of Millar's, Crispin Latymer, whom he introduced to cycling yet forgot to educate on the finer points of dressing. On his first ride he wore the shorts inside out, thinking it made total sense for the chamois to be in direct contact with the saddle.

These shorts are designed for every day, all-weather use, just please, keep the chamois on the inside.

Available in Outer Space Blue and Climbing Ivy and like all Chpt.3 clothing the pieces will work when the palette is mixed - either 1.21 jersey will look good with either 1.11 bib short

 

The fabric and construction of these shorts mean they feel near as dammit to compression apparel. We recommend you wear your exact waist size (B), or for a less compressive feel, then upsize one e.g. if you have a 32" waist (B) then wear a 33".

Technical Information
  • 240g Forza fabric with 38% Lycra® content for perfect compressive fit
  • Near-seamless Body Paint construction eliminates all but one seam for maximum comfort
  • CHPT3 exclusive Progetto X2 Air chamois featuring the Latymer clause
  • Bonded braces for just the right amount of pull
  • No-sew bonded construction in waist
  • Embossed / // /// logo across back
  • No-sew silicone leg gripper elastic
Sizing Information

CHPT3 clothing uses a tailoring system for its sizes. They use the physical chest or waist size as the garment size - If you have a 40" chest you need a 40" Jersey - Please note while the CHPT3 range is not designed for racing it is still a close fitting athletic design suitable for active cyclists.
