Pro and serious riders tend to prefer bib shorts over non-bib shorts, due to the discomfort that often occurs with an elastic waistband, such as tightness (digging into skin) and chafing.

Fuel can then be pumped into the top of the funnel by the fuel dispenser and watched for signs of water accumulation. The process can be stopped to lift out the assembly from the tank and the trapped water removed so that the job can be continued. Chamois leather is used thus as a fuel filter by boaters, [15] auto detailers, and aircraft refuelers, particularly of a past age when aircraft were flown into very remote areas. Chamois is a strong and highly durable fabric, so it’s no wonder that hunters and construction workers love this material.
