Want the performance of a top notch short but in a longer length? Try the performance punch that is the RS knicker for comfort where you need it most and a fit that will help you put the miles in. (Sorry- there's no excuse for taking the short cut to the tea stop now...) If you suffer with undercarriage delicateness or need to put in the miles, this really is worth the investment.

Ultra Aero fabric, which is designed to maximise airflow and reduce friction, while supporting the muscles is only the start of a construction dedicated to cycling comfort and efficiency. The 10-panel design is extremely supportive and articulates with the pedaling action plus there's no inseam, which helps keep bulk down. The frankly fantastic Formula FX chamois has a Multiply advanced lamination construction, which places more shock-absorbing padding where you need it, less where you don't. The surface is completely seam and stitch-free and fit and air flow are maximised by welded articulation lines. Additional centre perforations work even harder to keep you cool and dry where it matters most. If that all sounds complicated (and it is), all you need to remember is that it works. Slighlty more low-tech, but still important, signature leg gripper elastic and flat seam detail round it all off. 16" inseam.

Minx likes; this is a good hot weather knicker for those that really hate to get their legs out EVER.
