Chamois & Pads
Our shorts and bibs are engineered utilizing fine Italian chamois, providing high levels of protection and comfort for a variety of riding conditions and distances.
Elastic Interface® chamois are used in our Summit, Ascent and Triathlon bibs and shorts.
Elastic Interface® is the Italian brand that gives its name to a wide range of hi-tech cycling pads, born towards the end of the nineties, laying the foundation for the CyTech company, created in 2000. Today, their thermo-formed anatomic pads with multi thicknesses and gel, are recognized as the best chamois in the industry. Visit them at www.elasticinterface.com
