If your summer riding schedule includes regularly climbing through soaring temperatures under an unforgiving sun, Giordana's Sahara Men's Bib Shorts might make a significant difference in your ride quality. Just as riding in the cold asks more of your body, exerting yourself in the heat requires your body to work harder to cool itself down, and kit that's designed to help it will only improve your ability to maintain the intensity you would in more moderate temperatures.

Giordana tailored the aptly-named Sahara's entire construction to high temperatures and climbing, so the proprietary fabric that it's crafted with, inspired by the swim and undergarment industry, is featherweight and incredibly breathable. Giordana arranges it in a V-shape around the core and a U-shape in the back to get the most out of its moisture-wicking properties while maintaining structural stability. The legs are shaped according to the brand's 1on1 system, which involves constructing each leg from one piece of fabric that's secured by a single seam along the outer leg. Less seaming creates a lighter, more flexible piece. The fabric Giordana adds to the ends of the legs could hardly be referred to as leg grippers, as the elastic feels and behaves more like barely-there mesh. It's flexible and incredibly breathable while still preventing the leg hems from wandering while you're in the middle of a grueling climb.

New for this year, Giordana changed the fit of its bib straps to better accommodate cyclists in a standing position, so the fit of the Sahara will feel as natural in the saddle as it does while you're waiting in line for an espresso and a pastry post-ride. Giordana achieved this by allowing the front portion of the perforated bib straps to remain flexible, while the back portion stretches minimally. Not only do the bib straps help the Sahara feel more comfortable while standing, they also stay in place on the bike, moving with you as you sit and stand to climb.

Also redesigned this year, the Sahara's Cirro S chamois takes on long-term comfort with a less is more approach, featuring a sculpted shape that integrates quietly with the rest of the short. The Cirro S still offers ample cushioning, just arranged more strategically, and it now boasts Giordana's Copa Mondiale, a small but significant portion of recessed padding included to cushion and support the male anatomy while in a riding position.
