Le Col Hors Categorie HEX Mens Cycling Bibshort : Red Hex

Season:SS19

Brand:Le Col

Code:HCBB05-

The HC bibshorts from Le Col have been the company's top of the range short for several seasons. Continual development and a desire to perfect their products has resulted in some small tweaks and refinements to the HC for the new season making the bibshorts better than ever.

The HC bibshort is the pinnacle of the Le Col range and is designed, not specifically for those competing at the top levels of the sport, but rather to deliver unrivalled comfort and performance, hour after hour, ride after ride regardless of your experience or cycling goals. Whether you are racing, riding endurance or simply riding for fitness or fun, the Le Col HC Bibshorts will ensure you enjoy your time in the saddle.

The secret to the HC's incredible luxurious feel is the use of a top of the range Italian 220g/mlycra blend. The composition of the material combined with the weight gives the shorts exceptional muscle hold, hugging the legs whilst never over compressing, to give excellent muscular support and optimal blood flow. The material has a 91% polyamide content and it is this that lends much of the technical performance to the short. Polyamide is becoming more widely used by premium brands (see Chpt.3 / Q36.5) and is something that Le Col have been using since their inception 7 years ago. Poyamide is far better able to manage and stabilise temperature, both cooling you when you're working hard and helping keep you warmer when the teperature drops or the pace slows. The natural windproofing helps on long descents whilst remaining super breathable. It is also incredibly durable, meaning your premium shorts will outlast the competition. 

Le Col continue the use of their exceptional Dolomiti Gel chamois pad which delivers exceptional comfort with minimal invasiveness, even after hours in the saddle. The inherent support and comfort offered by the gel padding is augmented with a special thread and stitch shape on the outside edges of the pad that minimises irritation and rubbing. The ergonomic panel cut and shaping of the short is specifically engineered to optimally contour to the rider when adopting the cycling position and the laser cut bib straps sit flat on the torso for an invisible feel. These laser cut bib straps (which have incredible stretch and are a key element of the comfort of the HC) have been shortened slightly this season to offer better hold for those of us with relatively short torsos. This is good news all round and should not concern those riders who have relatively long bodies since the inherent stretch in the fabric remains ample without creating pinch in the straps. 

The HC shorts feature a micro-gummy silicone gripper that runs the length of the short for excellent hold and is enhanced by Le Col's signature low profile leg gripper. To ensure maximum comfort and minimal distractions on your ride, all stitching is Flat-locked and covered where necessary, as is the emroibered logo detail. This year sees the introduction of new HEX styles to compliment the new range of Pro and HC jerseys and come in muted but rich, stylish colourways.

Ultimately the Le Col HC Bibshorts are designed for everyone, to be the ultimate companion for your rides that allow you to simply ride and focus on what makes cycling, cycling for you. Luxurious comfort and incredible performance are guaranteed - you just won't realise it until you climb off your bike - untroubled - at the end.

Professional Opinion

I am a big fan of the HC bibs. They are my go-to shorts on days in the saddle when I want simply to ride, when performance is not my focus. They are also the short I use when my under carriage is suffering and I need a pad I know will offer the best protection for irritated areas! The shortened bib-straps for this season are a massive bonus for me too since I'm short in the body and historically found the straps a touch long. Now they're perfect. Comfort fit and style - nailed.
