Mavic Cosmic Elite Bib Short Review

Your go-to loop ride might be getting a little stale if you’ve done it twice a week for the last two years, so do yourself a favor by throwing on the Mavic Cosmic Elite Men’s Bib Shorts and heading out to ride some new roads. It doesn’t much matter if you head for punishing climbs or long flat centuries, because the Cosmic Elite’s Skin Wick ST fabric is contoured to support your muscles and keep you cool and dry over the long haul, and the open mesh bibs keep your top half cooler than the post-ride beer you can’t stop dreaming about. The wide Exo Grip elastic hem keeps a smooth line between your legs and the air that’s rushing over them, and flatlock seams are designed to prevent irritation on long, hot rides. The connection between you and your bike matters, so Mavic designed the Ergo 3D chamois to offer just the right amount of feedback from your saddle while it sucks up all the tiring vibrations and pressure. Three densities and six thicknesses of foam comprise the chamois, which means that the comfort is second to none whether you’re out for a 10-mile coffee jaunt or committing to something a little more, well, committing.
