Light and breathable, the Scanner Cycling Socks bring a brilliant level of comfort to any bike ride. As you warm up and sweat begins to build, the Q-SKIN® technology begins its work. Silver ions help to reduce bacterial build-up, keeping your feet feeling fresh and odour free. Mesh zones also offer a boost to breathability too, preventing moisture build-up and maintaining comfort for the long haul.
The heart of the Women's Klimatik Elements Gilet is the Rainshell Antiacqua 2.5 fabric, a waterproof and highly breathable material perfectly suited to high-intensity activities, such as cycling. It's one thing to keep rain out but that's of no use if you get overwhelmed with sweat inside - this is the conundrum the Women's Klimatik Elements Gilet solves. It adds a layer of water and wind protection to your core but it won't hinder movement of sweat from base layers to the outside. The result is greater comfort as skin remains dry and won't cool from an excess of sweat. Bonded technology is used to construct the Gilet, this does away with traditional seam joining techniques, instead, a special tape is used, maintaining the stretch of the fabric while also boosting durability. Moreover, the smooth joins also guarantee no rubbing from the seams, enhancing your comfort.
PRS - Pro Racing System Belonging to the PRS line of garments, derived from technical advances created for professional cycling teams, the PRS Master 2.0 Cycling Bib Shorts pay close attention to aerodynamics and anatomical fit. Body-mapping design also ensures fabric positioning is tailored to give the best level of ventilation, breathability and flexibility. Compressive fabrics boost muscle blood flow to the legs, helping resist fatigue and lactic acid build-up when you commit to intense race pace efforts. A high degree of flexibility also allows for a smooth and powerful pedal stroke. The Leg Comfort System sees an ultra-thin gripper with silicone threads interwoven through the gripper, providing just the right amount of grip and compression. The dye-cut finish provides a smooth transition from the short to the skin for the ultimate in comfort.

A raw cut edge and a layer of elastane inside give the bib straps a soft touch on the skin and ensure you'll soon forget the bibs are there. Four-needle flatlock stitching throughout completes the shorts in smooth style and eliminates chafing. Double Ergo HF Men's Seat Pad At the heart of the shorts is Ale's highly regarded Double Ergo HF chamois. This seat insert has a Bi-component surface in the front and lateral parts in the groin. The high-density 120 kg foam covers the contact point on the saddle (perinea and ischiatic) but it's reduced in the remaining parts to guarantee the minimum bulk and to ensure breathability is optimised. Lateral shaped wings follow the body, adapting to body movement to give a chafe-free pedal stroke, in or out of the saddle.
