Santini Unico Edge Bib Shorts review: Comfortable, stylish and expensive

Man riding a bike out of the saddle wearing purple shorts and a yellow jersey.

More than any other piece of clothing, cycling shorts have the potential to make or break a ride. Most of us will have experienced the uncomfortable feeling of a pair of shorts that doesn’t quite work for us, and what begins as a minor irritation can, hours later, become serious discomfort and even skin damage.

With a 60-year history of cycle clothing production, it would be reasonable to conclude that Santini should have a pretty good idea about how to make the saddle-bum interface as comfortable as possible. The Unico Edge is its highest-priced offering, with some interesting technology and premium touches intended to make the shorts look and feel great.
