Every bit of design experience Descente has earned from 20-plus years as the leader in the pro peloton goes into the Optima short and bib short. Two different fabrics are sewn into the panels. Aero-X fabric is used on the front and rear panels to insure perfect compression and stretch. The side panels and leg bands use Descente's new Resistex fabric, a state-of-the-art yarn that contains an active carbon component. The result is an anti-static, hyper cooling short with superior moisture management properties. The redesigned, streamlined MicroFuse chamois softens your ride only in places that contact the saddle, mitigating the notorious "diaper feel". As the name suggests, this is Descent's optimum short.

DESCENTE Optima Short.
Flat seam construction, an elastic waist and a pocket on the back.
