They needed to step back and find a better way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey 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 they 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 they 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fabric, while being insanely light, maintains a decent durability along with excellent abrasion resistance, at least against the saddle. They don't guarantee it against unplanned slides across the asphalt, so please keep the rubber side down!\u003cbr\u003eNote 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis short doesn't compromise on comfort. They 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe premium lightweight hot weather short. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durability. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you cool. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in place. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfers. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range: 20°-40°C \/ 68°-104°F. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProgetto X2 Air\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaximum technology for supreme comfort.
