ALE Alé Hammer Bib Shorts

The skies are clear. Temperatures are warm. It’s bike ride time. And when you’re looking to put the hammer down, be it for an hour or all day, the Hammer Bib Shorts are going to keep you brilliantly comfortable.

The shorts are made with a combination of technical fabrics, the first of which is Ale’s Airfix textile. This gives the double-whammy of impressive breathability and light muscle compression. With muscles building with lactic and temperatures on the rise, this will ensure you can keep pushing the pace comfortably. 

Ale also deploys their ‘Mesh Dragon’ fabric in strategic zones. Extremely soft against the skin and extremely breathable thanks to the mesh structure, it’s made for comfort during intense efforts. And not just that, its non-linear structure has the added advantage of reducing drag – that’s an instant speed advantage. 

You’ll also love the raw-cut leg finish, which gives a smooth short-to-skin transition while maintaining a perfect fit.  

Men’s 8HF Seat Pad

Inside the shorts, you’ll find Ale’s outstanding Men’s “8HF” pad. It makes use of an elastic microfibre with memory padding, strategically positioned at the saddle contact points for maximum comfort. The sensitive perineal and ischiatic areas are supported by higher-density padding, increasing comfort, and soaking up bumps and vibrations.

Meanwhile, nerve endings are protected from irritation by the central relief channel. Lastly, flexible lateral-shaped wings follow the body for complete support and comfort when pedalling, ideal for even the longest bike rides.
