Whether you’re a recreational masher or an elite racer, the narrow contact patch between the most sensitive parts of your anatomy and your bicycle seat is bound to cause some discomfort sooner or later. Woolistic combined several years of research, a cocktail of natural and synthetic fibers and some really smart Italians to create cycling shorts that generally will make you a much happier camper. Even cycling scion Jan Heine, who is known for his frank and exhaustively detailed reviews in his Bicycle Quarterly, gave these shorts a thumbs up. Plus, while still form fitting, these shorts are much more fashionable than your standard Mandex® and have the superior wicking capability of Merino wool.
