Expert Reviews

• The seamless layer leads to a comfortable fit.
• The material remained comfortable in wet weather.
• The three-layer chamois pad provides adequate comfort and padding.
• The seamless top layer helps in wicking moisture away to improve breathability.
• The viscous pad under the chamois pad is perforated, to increase breathability and ventilation in a high-sweat area.
• The leg fit is not too tight and constricting.
• The horizontal elasticized-stitching is more efficient than silicone grips in keeping the leg fit in one place.
