With a gel-padded chamois for shock absorption, the Novara Metro Gel Double shorts create happy trails.

  • Stretch woven nylon/spandex rugged outer shorts move easily with you; shorts wick moisture away from you and dry quickly
  • Fixed, moisture-wicking, polyester stretch-mesh liner shorts allow ventilation for cooling and have a built-in chamois pad for comfort
  • Novara Gel chamois conforms to body contours; high-density foam helps provide comfort on the bike
  • Gel pad system dissipates shock and reduces skin irritation by forming a fluid barrier between the hard saddle shell and the cyclist
  • Microfiber chamois is soft and moisture wicking; center air channel maximizes breathability
  • Silicone gripper elastic on inner shorts keeps them in place
  • Storage options include twin hand pockets and twin cargo pockets—1 with a zippered security pocket
  • Waistband has partial stretch and a zipper fly and snap closure
  • Reflective trim increases visibility

Imported.

          Comments about Novara Metro Gel Double Shorts - Men's:

          Incredibly comfortable Gel padding is exactly what I was looking for and I found it in these shorts. The inner padded liner stayed right in place. Never bunching or riding up like some other shorts. I like the cargo pocket options. 1 with velcro and 1 with a zipper. They stayed very dry on a hot SoCal day of riding. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a bit of relief from a hard saddle.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            I wear this bike shorts all the time. I can ride miles and miles and never get tired. The product is kind of expensive but it worth it.
