Why We Like The Mondo Evo Bib Shorts
For Louis Garneau's Mondo Evo Bib Shorts, it brings together three high-tech fabrics, each one specifically designed and chosen to excel at its intended purpose and location on the bibs. And while comfort trumps style when it comes to bibs, these bibs manage to blend both. They are available in colors that complement jerseys already in your wardrobe, making the Mondo perfect to pick up if you are completing a kit, especially if your current bibs are a little worse for the wear and have seen better days.
The Mondo Evo bib shorts incorporate the advanced Cell-Ion fabric for form-fitting compression. Cell-Ion contains Celliant, a revolutionary technology that returns reflected energy to the body to trigger increased blood flow and oxygen levels. This, in conjunction with the 10-panel construction, results in increased performance with less fatigue and greater overall comfort. Many shorts offer some sort of sun protection these days and the Mondo Evo is no exception and steps it up to provide a hefty UPF 50 rating, protecting your legs from harsh UV exposure on long summer rides where you typically don't apply sunscreen. Cell-Ion is constructed with 17% premium Invista Lycra, providing maximum stretch and compression beyond the basic knit of most bibs. This super Lycra allows for an impressive range of motion and a supportive fit that stabilizes muscles, reducing fatigue.
Carbon X Mesh panels handle the bib and strap duties, for its increase wicking and breathability where restricted airflow can prove stifling in warmer conditions. The textured mesh prevents it from sticking to your skin offering maximum ventilation. Resistex carbon fiber, the third material, contains antistatic properties and provides additional stretch and sun protection. At the leg openings, wide Aero Lazer bands provide a snug and compressive fit that holds the hem in place without silicone grippers that most shorts require. The high spandex content in the fabric provides a 4-way stretch that returns to place season after season preventing you from tugging them back into place on every pedal stroke.
These bibs feature the 4Motion chamois complete with 3D pre-shaped wings that have a mesh vented split on the rear for increased ventilation while allowing the chamois to articulate and move with you. The wings are seamless and sit snugly against your thighs to prevent chafing and friction. Mesh-lined perforations at the front of the chamois offer an increase of air circulation helping to keep you cool and dry. The multi-density, perforated memory foam is also ergonomically designed with a central channel that helps relieve pressure over long rides. Finally, the four-way stretch 4Motion chamois is topped with a carbon sheet to combat odor and improve hygiene.
Rounding out details, these shorts feature a back radio pocket, for racing duties and reflective logos to help improve visibility to drivers in low-light conditions.

So close, but no
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
These shorts are *almost* great, but one design choice ruined them for me. The material used in the leg grippers - and also, inexplicably, a diagonal pattern across the front of each thigh - is terrible. Thin as a sheet of plastic wrap, almost totally transparent, and doesn't stretch as readily as the rest of the material in the shorts. Sent them back after a test fit - didn't even bother trying to ride in them. The fit is far too weird. It's a bummer, because the main material of the shorts, the overall fit (sizing, bib strap length, etc) and the chamois all seemed top-notch. I wish kit makers would stop putting different materials in their shorts just for the sake of marketing. Went with the more basic "Fit Sensor 3" shorts, and while the chamois on those isn't as impressive, the shorts material is at least consistently comfortable throughout the entire leg.

So comfortable

Went on my first ride today in these. The material is top notch. Soft, flexible and breathable. After 15 miles on a rough mountain bike trail I give them 5 stars.

Comfy!

First 2 rides were 30 milers and they were as comfortable, if not a bit more than my "go to" Specialized RBX Comp Bibs. They cost a little more, but I believe they may actually have a better chamois pad than the RBX Comp's! May just need to get myself another pair. I'm 5'7" and 169lbs, so not your typical "skinny" rider! The medium fit perfect.

New fav!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Love these, Fit is great, overall a little more snug than other LG shorts and bibs but not uncomfortable. The 4 motion chamois is Legit! Definitely my new go to for longer rides. It does have an Odd mid/upper back pocket? Not sure what that?s all about. Pretty useless imo other than that I?d buy again.
