For our lightest-ever road short, we use the first seamless graduated-ventilation stretch woven fabric to make a short that´s both impossibly light and cool yet supportive for the longest rides.LIGHT, COOL AND STRAIGHT OUT OF THE FUTURE.We´ve been pushing the envelope on lightweight shorts since 2011 but have butted up against the limits of compromising durability for ever lighter weight.We needed to step back and find a better way.We examined what the short really needs to do:it needs to hold the seat pad securely in place while otherwise adding as little weight or fabric as absolutely necessary (without being transparent, obviously), and it needs to last a season of hard use.So we engineered a brand-new fabric using a woven rather than a knit that shaves 30% in weight for the same level of support and non-transparency.Then we worked with the world´s leading mill to construct a gradient fabric that becomes increasingly lighter the farther down the leg it extends, with the last part weighing a mere 90 g/m2 compared to normal short fabric, which weighs around 220 g/m2.This fabric, while being insanely light, maintains a decent durability along with excellent abrasion resistance, at least against the saddle.We don´t guarantee it against unplanned slides across the asphalt, so please keep the rubber side down!.Note that while the short saves a mere 48 grams while dry, this means it also absorbs around 30% less moisture when you´re sweating.So when you´re sweating your way up the Alpe d´Huez you´re actually saving closer to 150 grams.This short doesn´t compromise on comfort.We use our top Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, the spectacular striped mesh bibs from the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort and a flat stretch woven leg gripper to keep everything in place.But it´s the finishing that sets this short apart.The logos are embossed into the surface of the fabric for a very discreet rich tone-on-tone effect.With this short you don´t need brightly colored logos to shout out that you´ve achieved the ultimate in cycling comfort and performance.Features:The premium lightweight hot weather short.Gradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support.Ultralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durability.Minimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you cool.Integrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in place.Embossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfers.Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. tradeinn Bikeinn
