Campagnolo C009 Metal racing bib
The C009 Metal bib features a Lycra body and Project One chamois. Three different layers make up the body, which has a lower waist for more freedom of movement and air ventilation.
The Project One chamois also uses a Cool Pad made from ComforTemp foam, which cools by absorbing excessive body heat produced during rigorous activity.
External microfiber to assist with moisture transfer and an anatomic male design for less pressure are also featured.
