Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna seat pad offers a soft contact surface against your skin and minimises chafing and irritation.
- Silicone grippers at the leg ends prevent the shorts from moving up while cycling so you don't have to pull at them all the time.
- The wide elastic waistband offers a firm grip on the hips without causing a tight feel that is uncomfortable while breathing.
- As the women-specific fit takes the female anatomy into account, the shorts offer the right support where they need to.
- Due to the lack of bib straps, the shorts may shift slightly when you are in a very deep cycling position, but the wide waistband largely compensates for this.
- The light compression may make the fabric feel rather tight at first but eventually improves blood flow in your muscles.
