Women's OPAL cycling shorts from the Power 2.0 series are a classic in cycling. Simple, high-quality bib shorts have everything needed for comfortable riding. Versatile for road and MTB.
Opal cycling shorts with bib straps are an updated version of the Power series shorts. The (small) changes introduced have further increased their comfort in use.
Women's Opal bib cycling shorts, Power 2.0 series are made from original Italian 4-way stretch Lycra and breathable mesh. Flat, elastic seams increase the durability and strength of the shorts. Anatomical panels guarantee a perfect fit to the body. The straps made from breathable, quick-drying mesh speed up moisture wicking. Thanks to greater stretch, size tolerance has increased (smaller size, taller person, long torsos). The traditional anti-slip gripper elastic at the bottom of the legs has been replaced with a modern, elastic, non-compressive cuff with printed silicone elements on the inside. The shorts use a high-quality Italian Dolomiti chamois pad.
In the Active 2.0 /Power 2.0 series cycling shorts (NOTE: in the Active 2. and Power 2.0 series we offer the same shorts cuts; the difference is the design) we focused on improving the functionality of the straps, made changes to the leg finish and replaced the pad. We also placed great emphasis on even greater elasticity of the flat seams.
The mesh in the straps is soft and pleasant against the body. We finished the straps with elastic binding, which does not irritate the body even after a hard training session.
In the legs, we replaced the 7 cm cuff with a 4 cm, non-compressive silicone band. This not only increased the range of leg size tolerance but also maintained proper leg stability while reducing weight.
We used the HD 100 FOAM pad in the shorts.
Features of the HD 100 FOAM pad:
- intended use: medium distances (approx. 4/5 hours)
- COVER – antibacterial knit, composition 81% polyester, 19% elastane with breathable, quick-drying properties
- TOP LAYER - flexible thin foam with 8mm holes guarantees airflow and moisture wicking while riding; density 65 kg/m3, thickness 3 mm
- INNER LAYER – pad core - foam with small holes ensures constant airflow, adapts to the user and guarantees freedom of movement while riding; density 90 kg/m3
- seamless construction protects against chafing
- perforation of all pad layers guarantees high breathability, fast moisture evaporation and provides a feeling of freshness.
