Hi thinkling.

I hear you and understand what you have in mind. I am of opinion that buying tights with a chamois is impractical since you only ever bring them out during deep winter. Anything warmer and its usually BibShorts with leg warmers.

We do have plans to release long winter tights that work well with The Bibs under them! Using some very special fabrics from our friends over at MITI. Keep a look out!

excessive sweating isn't an issue at all. The fabrics used throughout the cyclewear industry have undergone significant developments as recently as 5 years ago.

The main principle is "moisture wicking" , where sweat is pulled away from the skin towards the outer layer of the fabrics where they evaporate, keeping you dry.

Our main fabric supplier, MITI, has been in this game since the early 20th century and they are always at the forefront of fabric technology. We are currently enjoying the advantage of "trickle down tech" where fabric technology that was currently only available on the really expensive BibShorts are now available at a lower cost - largely due to economies of scale and process efficiency.

HELLO EVERYONE!

Its been a rather long discussion and I can't thank everyone enough for joining this conversation with us. I'm Yuva, one of the co-founders of RedWhite Apparel.

I hope I've clarified all questions, but please keep them coming! If I don't reply quickly, it means that i'm likely in bed given the massive time difference.

Rest assured, we aim to reply within 12 hours.

Hi siddg,

We well worldwide through our online store at www.redwhite.cc

The indicated price includes shipping and taxes :)

hi pmontra,

We've made some improvements. Do take a look : www.redwhite.cc

hi shiftpgdn,

We've made some tweaks and it should load better now :)

I'd like to reiterate that we aren't competing with any of the big boys. Each brand is unique with a different philosophy and brand voice.

We are focused on making a BibShort for long distance cycling. We want you to come to us, knowing that you will walk away with a product that will help you ride those long base miles in comfort.

Every element in the RedWhite BibShorts has been curated and through through to achieve this end goal.

Hi Colbyh,

I couldn't reply on Product Hunt sadly because apparently I need to be recommended by the community.

Your choice in BibShorts is a highly personal one. Perhaps other brands resonate more with your wants and aspirations and tastes.

We are focused on what we do - A BibShort for long distance cycling. Our website has only 1 product that's built from the ground up to enable you to ride that century or that AUDAX in comfort.

Hi ThatOneDan,

Good question and we get asked that ALL the time!

Okay, simply put, many brands have offering at multiple price points. Obviously to cater to different budgets, tastes, aspirations, wants etc (its a rather long list).

We are different. We chose to focus on a BibShort specifically for long distance cycling. This is our niche and what the RedWhite brand stands for.

Hi David,

That is a personal choice :). Castelli do make great products - undoubtedly.

However, we are a different company. Our niche is - Long Distance BibShorts.

When you come to us, we want you to have absolute confidence that what we give to you is a BibShort that is designed specifically for your long ride. No compromise has been made in achieving this end in the design process.

For example, we don't print on our lycra because its a nylon based fabric that's softer and more luxurious than a printable polyester based version. Comfort reigns king over graphics and that's a choice we made happily to achieve the end goal - long distance comfort.

The chamois isn't one that's used by many other brands. We searched for a non mainstream manufacturer. The chamois is manufactured using a Thermic Moulding process - no one else makes a chamois this way and what you get is a plush, breathable chamois that lasts and doesn't flatten out after long hours.

Hi ryanSrich,

Certainly :)

We manufacture in Romania. The fabrics are supplied to us by MITI from Urganano, Italy. The Pad (chamois) is trucked in from our Italian chamois supplier.

Trucking is fast, cheap and with EU carbon regulations - also environmentally friendly. All our suppliers are not more than 4 hours from the central factory - keeping our supply chain tight and efficient.

The central Romanian factory is owned by our Italian manufacturing partner who stitches the fabrics together according to our design files.

The final Bibs are quality inspected in Romania and are trucked to Italy for a final quality inspection before sent to us in Singapore for distribution.

We currently sell online and locally through a network of dealers. While we work to get these sold globally at your local bike shop, the online store will be the way for you to get hold of these.

Every order is packed by one of us (2 founders) and sent to you from Singapore :).

hi shiftpgdn,

We chose .cc because its synonymous with "cycling club". Its also quickly becoming a common web domain for cycling clothing brands.

No - we are not competing with Rapha. Rapha has a very different and unique value proposition and customer base.

Our niche is - Long Distance BibShorts. When you come to us, we want you to come with the confidence that you will absolutely find a great BibShort.
