The ABR1 Pocket Bib Shorts are made for the longest days on the bike. Albion developed them with ultra-distance riders, and they've been ridden to wins and record times on the Tour Divide, the Atlas Mountain Race and the Highland Trail 550. If your rides are measured in hours rather than kilometres, start here.

Why cargo bibs

Two mesh leg pockets and a rear side-entry pocket let you carry a phone, gels or a wind jacket without touching your jersey pockets. That's handy on gravel and bikepacking trips, and just as useful on a long road day. Everything stays reachable while you ride.

Comfort for long distance

The Albion x Elastic Interface chamois is built for long hours in the saddle. The 2025 update adds a higher gauge main fabric for more compression and polypropylene-knit straps that move moisture away faster. A hidden Rear Guard panel above the pad makes the shorts last longer.

Fit and sizing

An on-bike fit that runs true to size, with a reduced number of panels and flatlock seams. Our studio model is 180 cm (chest 91 cm, inner leg 80 cm) and wears size S. Want to compare them with your current bibs? Try them on in one of our stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam.

The Albion Men's Traverse Long Sleeve Jersey is designed for comfort and versatility across changing conditions and long days on the bike. A lightly brushed main fabric provides warmth when temperatures drop, while strategically positioned grid fleece mesh panels under the arms help regulate temperature as effort levels rise.

Warm enough for training through the colder months yet adaptable enough for changeable-weather trips, the jersey works equally well on its own or as part of a wider layering system. Expanded rear storage adds extra carrying capacity for longer rides, making it a practical choice when conditions demand additional layers or equipment.

Key features

• Lightly brushed main fabric for additional warmth

• Grid fleece mesh panels under the arms

• Enhanced breathability and thermoregulation

• Designed to perform across a wide temperature range

• Suitable for colder training and changeable conditions

• Four-pocket storage system

• Three traditional rear pockets

• Additional mesh side-entry cargo storage

• Designed to integrate with Albion ABR1 Bib Shorts

• Versatile construction for layering

Performance & construction
The lightly brushed main fabric provides insulation without turning the jersey into a dedicated winter layer. Grid fleece mesh panels beneath the arms improve ventilation in areas where heat builds quickly, helping the jersey adapt as riding intensity and temperature change.

This balance of warmth and breathability makes it a versatile standalone jersey in cool conditions or an effective mid layer when paired with additional weather protection.

Storage
Three conventional rear pockets provide familiar jersey storage, complemented by additional mesh side-entry cargo capacity for carrying spare layers, accessories or ride essentials.

The storage system is designed to work alongside Albion's ABR1 Bib Shorts for increased carrying capacity on longer rides.

Size & fit
Designed as part of Albion's All Road range. Choose your usual size for a balanced fit, size down for a closer fit or size up if you prefer additional room for layering.

Care & washing instructions
Follow the care label inside the garment. Wash technical garments gently and avoid fabric softener. Air dry naturally to help preserve the brushed fabric, mesh panels and overall performance.
