This short is just a few centimeters longer, finishing just above the knee, but you’ll be amazed at how much warmer it feels. This required engineering a raw-cut edge, tapered just right for extra coverage in the front while being shorter on the back so it doesn’t bunch behind the knee. We’ve used Nano Flex fabric for a warm brushed fleece on the inside with a nanotechnology water-repellent surface treatment that makes much of the rain run off the fabric, and when it does eventually wet out it manages to keep you warmer. We round out the short with the Progetto X2 Air seat pad, which confirms that this product is meant for pro duty.
