Louis Garneau Mondo Evo Bib Short Women's

Sometimes it's OK to judge a book by its cover. For example, when it comes to the women's and the men's version of the Louis Garneau Mondo Evo Limited Edition Bib Shorts, designed exclusively for Competitive Cyclist and Backcountry. com, the only differences are superficial and apparent on first sight: They're shaped differently.
