Pinebury’s Updated Merino Cargo Bibs Add Women’s Fit and Revised Ride Features

Pinebury’s second version of its merino cargo bibs brings a women’s-specific design alongside changes to the fabric, straps, chamois and rear panel. The update follows a year of riding in the original bibs and keeps their cargo storage while addressing requests from customers.

Pinebury makes merino wool clothing for cycling and everyday wear in the United States. Its revised bibs use Nuyarn® merino wool, with the new fabric developed exclusively for the company.

Fabric and construction changes

The new material weighs 245 GSM. Pinebury says it has more stretch and improved durability while retaining merino’s breathability and drying speed. The company describes the fabric as suitable for riding year round and gives a comfort range of about 40°F to 80°F. That range is product guidance; comfort will still depend on the rider, effort and conditions.

A double-layer rear panel makes the shorts opaque, including in direct sunlight. That added coverage is a practical change for a garment worn in varied light and riding positions. The charcoal color is described as a deep black heather with subtle texture visible up close.

The former mesh straps have been replaced by soft, flat woven elastic made in Japan. A rear pocket uses the same merino wool as the outer fabric. Two thigh pockets provide cargo space for items such as food, a phone or a light layer, while two-inch Power Grip leg bands are intended to hold the legs in place without squeezing.

The bibs use an Elastic Interface® Titan chamois with an Eco AirTech fabric cover. Pinebury describes the cover as breathable and fast drying, qualities intended to complement the merino shell. The chamois choice is relevant to the long hours these shorts are designed to handle, though fit and comfort remain personal.

What changed in version two

The update centers on four areas: the custom Nuyarn® fabric, woven shoulder straps, the chamois and the opaque rear panel. Those changes leave the cargo-bib format intact while revising details that affect feel, coverage and storage. Pinebury says the design reflects a year of real-world miles on the first version.

Women’s-specific option

Pinebury has added a women’s bib built on a women’s-specific pattern. It shares the fabric, straps and pockets of the updated design and uses a women’s Elastic Interface® Titan chamois. The new option follows repeated customer requests for a women’s version of the company’s Nuyarn® merino bib shorts.

For riders comparing the two fits, the shared materials and storage make the chamois and pattern the key distinctions described by Pinebury. The company presents the bibs as a choice for long rides, when support, temperature regulation and moisture management matter over hours in the saddle.

Chamois details

Pinebury specifies the men’s Elastic Interface® Titan pad for its anatomic shape and support. Its listed protection is intended for rides of five to six hours. The pad combines a soft comfort layer with firmer support foam, and its thickness ranges from 3mm to 12mm, with the greatest thickness at the thickest points.

The recycled Eco AirTech cover has an open, honeycomb-like structure. Pinebury says it breathes well and dries quickly, pairing its performance with the merino fabric. The pad is pre-shaped in three dimensions, has no seams and is approved for short saddles.

Production and fit considerations

The bibs are sewn in California in small batches from RWS-certified merino wool. Riders choosing them can weigh the stated temperature range, storage layout and chamois specifications against their usual ride length and conditions. The fabric’s year-round positioning does not replace clothing choices for changing weather, and the listed range is a guide rather than a guarantee of comfort.

The design combines a merino shell and rear pocket with cargo pockets, revised shoulder straps and a chamois offered in men’s and women’s versions. For riders who have been waiting for a women’s-specific pattern, that addition is the clearest expansion; for existing customers, the fabric and rear-panel changes mark the main revision.
