All legwear in the Vaeon range uses 190g Ceylon Lycra fabric produced in Italy. This durable performance stretch fabric provides compression & breathability. The 80/20 Nylon/ Elastane composition gives the fabric a great h&-feel, & the high quality production ensures that the form-fit characteristic will last the test of time. This fabric is NOT brushed or fleeced (Roubaix) making it suitable for cool Autumn rides, where longs are preferable to shorts, & Roubaix is not necessary. This fabric is suited for Autumn UK conditions (12-18deg Celsius) depending on ride intensity). The anatomical form-fit patterning is designed to give maximum freedom of movement & comfort. The Cy Tech Race chamois (padded insert) is our first level of protection & provides comfort in the saddle for shorter rides up to approx 2 hours, making Vaeon ideal for shorter training rides. The chamois contact fabric face uses Cy Tech’s patented ‘ Elastic Interface’ fabric, which is designed to endure continual, flex & stress without causing chafing. Leg openings have elasticated hems with clear silicone grippers. This helps to ensure that the leg stays in place & does not ride upwards. Reflective detailing strips on the thighs & rear ankles, as well as 2 reflective logos on the garment help to improve your road visibility when riding in reduced light conditions. The ‘no-rattle’ lock-down YKK zipper heads are a robust size 5 – which makes using them with cold hands or gloves easy.
