Giordana NX G Gradual Compression Bib Shorts Men's

When redesigning its product line for 2016, Giordana decided to raise the top of its ceiling, creating the NX G line to redefine the look and feel of the luxurious upper echelon of its kit. Featuring allover graduated compression and as little seaming as possible, the NX G Gradual Compression Bib Shorts are a masterpiece in aerodynamic, next to skin race kit and a demonstration of what technological advances are continuing to do for cycling apparel.

This allows for a more natural fit while you're standing in the shorts without affecting their ability to conform to your body position once y...
