The Women's PR-S Master Bib Shorts are designed to offer a compressive race-focused fit, supporting your muscles as you put the power down and push the pace. Ale's Eyelet Carbon fabric can be found on the back panel, designed to dissipate electrostatic charges; this helps improve blood flow and maintain a stable temperature when the pressure is on and heat rises. Meanwhile, the legs use a polyester fabric, with a controlled elasticity, to give compressive muscle support, total freedom of movement and unrestricted pedalling. The 'Free System Bib' upper focuses in on lightness, breathability and stretch, supporting the shorts without applying too much pressure. A raw cut edge and a layer of elastane inside gives the bib straps a soft touch on the skin and ensures you'll soon forget the bibs are there.

Ale's top of the line women's specific pad can be found inside, the “W8HF” utilises an elastic microfibre with memory padding, strategically positioned at the saddle contact points for maximum comfort. In the perineal and ischiatic area, the higher density padding ensures the utmost support against bumps and vibrations. The central relief channel was developed to protect the nerve endings while the lateral shaped wings are flexible to follow the body for complete support and comfort when pedalling, even over the roughest of roads.
