Lightweight, flexible and durable downhill shorts. Thin polychloroprene reinforcements on outer hip for additional protection. Selective main fabric mix of flexible and non flex materials for maximum functionality. Slightly stiffer fabrics on the knee cap for better protection. Flexible fabrics in all pedaling areas. Water repellency treatment of the flex fabrics and special coating of the stiffer sections make this short even easy to clean on those mud-war days.
