The Nashbar Elite Gel short was designed around the Memoflex gel chamois from Trico Sports to provide a little more cushioning and support, which is especially suited for the beginning and intermediate rider. This 6 panel short is flat lock seam stitched to help lessen the chance of chafing and to also give the short a clean eye appealing finish. The heavier weight 8.5 oz. nylon/Lycra fabric provides excellent muscle support with less chance for the material to sag and bunch up. Includes elastic waist (no drawstring) and leg openings with grippers keep the short in place.
