Hincapie Metric Bib Short - Black 2012

Hincapie Metric Cycling Bib Shorts

The new Hincapie Metric bib shorts combine the perfect fabric pairings to create a durable but supportive and compressive bib short with carbon fiber inserts for anti static as well as anti microbial properties.  Built on the tradition of conquering the cobbles of the north and the climbs of the south.

Features Include:

• Durable, moisture-wicking AT2 Force Lycra® Power provides unsurpassed structure and elastic retention for a compact fit
• Strategically placed Resistex® Carbon panels help lower temperature, heart rate and lactic acid concentration in muscles
• Proprietary Schoeller® coldblack® finish technology reflects heat away from the body to regulate temperature and provide SPF50+ UVA/UVB protection
• Abrasion-resistant ABR Resistor Lycra® moisture-wicking panel inserts in the saddle wear area
• Comfortable, quick-drying VelociTek mesh upper wicks moisture away from the body
• Anatomical Hincapie Metric Chamois with E.I.T. Max fabric and high density foam inserts
• Comfort-flex leg band
• Reflective treatment for high visibility

• ABR Resistor™ Lycra®
  Specially knitted nylon, polyester and Lycra® yarns combine to provide a durable nylon outer surface, which resists abrasion. A polyester liner on the inside of the garment quickly wicks moisture away from the body and initiates rapid evaporation.
• AT2 Force™ Lycra® Power
  Durable nylon and Lycra® Power yarns blend to provide a structured and comfortable fit that moves with your body while retaining shape and firmness. At 200g utilizing 40gauge loom construction, this fabric is extremely compact with multidirectional stretch. Proprietary Schoeller® coldblack® finish technology provides effective heat management by reflecting heat away from dark textiles; providing a surface that is always cool to the touch, and 50+ UPF sun protection.
• coldblack®
  Proprietary Schoeller® coldblack® finish technology provides effective heat management by reflecting heat away from dark textiles; providing a surface that is always cool to the touch and 50+ UPF sun protection.
• Resistex® Carbon
  Specially woven nylon, lycra and carbon fibers combine to provide antistatic-dissipative benefits. Carbon use in jersey fibers has been scientifically proven to lower active body temperatures by 3%, lower Heart rate by 4BPM, and decrease lactic acid concentration in capillary blood by 12% over 100% polyester jersey counterparts. This provides greater muscle productivity during intense exercise and faster recovery time.
• VelociTek™
  A polyester/spandex performance stretch mesh that is tightly knitted to provide excellent structure and moisture management. The mesh is constructed to draw moisture away from the body then expand with your own body movements, allowing air to rapidly flow over the fabrics surface to quickly evaporate moisture away.
