The mark of a great women’s bib? For us it has to be repeat ride comfort, when everything comes together to create a short that makes every mile amazing, no matter how often you head to the hills.

The women’s Gregarius Ultra Bib Short from Italian brand Q36.5 is one such short. From its pre-shaped, minimally-seamed design and plush Elastic Interface chamois, to its raw leg hems that support without squeezing and seamless bib straps, the Gregarius Ultra is a superb all-rounder that demonstrates poise and comfort in all conditions.
