We first saw this back in 2009 when our Cervélo TestTeam rider Jeremy Hunt rode the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in knee warmers that he had cut to knee length. It took six years for it to catch on, but we saw half a dozen or so riders starting the 2015 Omloop with that same look. So we engineered a fabric that lets us leave a soft raw edge at the back of the knee that won't cut into you, and we started riding prototypes. Once again the guys who do this for a living have come up with a new way to dress. It's significantly warmer than a thermal short but doesn't feel overdressed like a knicker.
Features: • Thermal short cut just to the knee • Thermoflex fabric for exceptional warmth, stretch and breathability • Raw-cut edge at anatomically shaped knee • Progetto X2 Air seat pad for long-distance comfort • Mesh bib straps so that you can regulate insulation with your base layers, not the bib • Reflective viz strips for visibility
