Another seat pad that focusses on stretch and three layers of padding, the seat bones are treated to a special 4mm layer of Poron for extra shock absorption. Fabric on the legs is designed to give muscle compression and support whilst other panels offer a high degree of stretch for freedom of movement. The bib straps a sleek and without any seams, so they lay flat against the body and don’t interfere with your bra. The grippers are a stretch mesh for a soft grip that stays in place without digging in.
