Velocio Ultralight Bib Shorts / Mesh Long Sleeve Jersey / Ultralight Jacket Cycling kit review

Velocio’s Ultralight apparel were optimized to be lightweight and next-to-skin fit to tackle fast-paced weekday rides or all-day weekend rides. For 2025, Velocio has updated the patterns and materials of the Ultralight apparel to make them perform and fit even better. In this review, we’ll be looking at three items in the men’s Ultralight lineup: bib shorts, mesh long sleeve jersey and the jacket. The Ultralight Bib Shorts retail for $259 and features a raw-cut band and stretch woven fabric for improved comfort. We’ve paired it with the $189 Ultralight Mesh Long Sleeve jersey which offers UPF 50 and a high-opacity mesh fabric construction. For additional protection, the $199 Ultralight Jacket is a packable windproof and water resistant jacket. Combined, this is a lightweight kit that offers all the premium features Velocio is known for but optimized for long climbs or descents.

The Velocio Ultralight Bib Shorts are a lightweight yet highly supportive bib short that is optimized for performance. For 2025, Velocio has updated the ultralight bib shorts with a 3cm longer length for additional coverage and a raw hem. Velocio offers the Ultralight bib shorts in three colors currently: black, deep lichen (light green) and navy. For this review, we have the navy color which is a solid dark blue color scheme with subtle reflective Velocio logos on the legs. The bib shorts are constructed from 71% Polyamide and 29% Elastane which includes recycled nylon. One of the key features of the bib shorts is the stretch woven fabric which is light, breathable and is designed to maintain compression better even when damp with sweat.

One of the most obvious updates of the bib shorts is the raw-cut leg band that eliminates the traditional separate band along the hem. This is the same design we’ve seen on the Velocio LUXE bib shorts and something that is becoming popular in higher-end bib shorts as it fits and looks better. As far as the bib straps, the Ultralight has a modified two piece design with elastic bands. Velocio has added a mesh panel connector to the rear of the straps which keeps the rear straps together. It’s a welcome addition as it makes putting on the bib shorts easier, you do not have to guess which side the straps go to like you do with two completely separate straps. The chamois on the Ultralight bib shorts is an updated proprietary design that eliminates hot spots and chafing. You have a multi-density foam with a center relief channel for additional comfort. This chamois is one of the lightest Velocio offers in the bib shorts but is still intended for long climbs or rides....
