When we set out to create these shorts, we wanted to make them a pair that you couldn’t live without, no matter what kind of ride you’re planning. That’s exactly what we did. First, we found a soft, stretchy fabric that feels great the moment you put them on. The fabric moves with your body, without being tight or restricting your movements. We took extra care with the fit to ensure a perfect fit, and then we added silicone strips at the ends of the legs to keep your tan line looking great. The mesh straps are stretchy and allow for extra ventilation. Of course, we used our Progetto X2 Air Donna chamois to keep you comfortable all day long. Finally, we added a few extra details, like a back pocket to store your belongings and reflective strips for added safety. It all adds up to the Espresso being our—and soon to be your—new favorite pair of shorts.
