There is no better short for an epic day in the saddle (just like what they wear in the Tour de France)! Our ELITE bib top eliminates the feel of a waistband for all day comfort and gives you a secure fit with moisture-transferring Extra-supportive Sahara Micro-mesh lycra. The bib straps are an extra wide 2-1/2" to eliminate any pinching or slipping, and are cut high in back and low in front to form a cozy fit with a cooling air flow. The bottom is the same as our Men's ELITE short with our Compression-support Action nylon/lycra® fabric, ENHANCED 8-PANEL design, and our Elastic ELITE chamois to provide unparalleled support and comfort for your most demanding rides. Action fabric provides maximum muscle support while protecting you against the elements and unexpected trail or road hazards. Race-cut waist, low in front and long in back, for a secure fit while in a cycling position. Seamless inner thigh and full leg length to eliminate possible chafing with an ARTICULATED HIP angle that matches your riding position combined with 1" leg elastic for a pair of shorts that won't creep.
Price: $125
"I love the bibs shorts - outstanding comfort for me- I used them in a 400 km ride last Saturday (6 AM - midnight) - and plan to do the Cascade 1200 km ride in them."
"And I can tell you that, despite the great team gear that I have and use, when I do doubles I use Boure shorts and only Boure shorts. I know that I am faster because of the clothing."
"Love my Boure Elite bib shorts! Never any trouble. Never use chamois "products." Wore two pairs over 4 days of LEL comfortably. Boure has outstanding customer service. Great, small US company. Nice people. Don't think twice, just do it!"
"I rode your Elite and PRO shorts on the PAC Tour Northern Transcontinental this summer and, unlike many fellow riders, never had a saddle sore! "
"Since 2004 I've been riding long distance cycling events known as brevets, and since 2000 I've been riding double centuries on the California Triple Crown circuit. For many years I'd have trouble on the longer rides with saddle sores, chaffing and any of the misery caused by such. On the recommendation of a friend, I decided to spend more money than I thought was appropriate at the time for a pair of your Elite shorts. Improvement was immediate, and I quickly bought another pair, and then shortly after that yet one more pair. All this time I thought I was being cost conscious in getting shorts in the $50-$70 range. Wow, was I wrong. Your Elite shorts are very much worth every penny they cost, even if they only lasted as long as those less costly shorts from other companies. The bonus of course is that the Elites are so well made and designed that they already have outlasted the cheaper shorts."
"Over the past year or so I've ordered several pairs of shorts and a number of jerseys. I rank all of the items at the very top in terms of both comfort and workmanship. Now that I have several pair of your Elite bib shorts I actually threw out a two year old pair of Assos bibs as yours are much more comfortable."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I saw a review of your products and they talked about your chamois being thinner than others. Can you explain to me the differences in your chamois inserts and how they work?
3. I recently finished a 460 mile bike ride in six days. I developed saddle sores that got infected and the last couple of days were miserable. I'm trying to find a solution and everybody has ideas. I'm currently trying a new saddle and have adjusted the way I sit in the saddle.
