Maximum comfort over very long distances

Innovative foam with elastic memory foam and very high-density insertsis one of the outstanding characteristics of the chamois K12. Its high recovery capacitynot only makes it ultra resistant to compressionbut also makes it the best choice for long hours on the bike.

Its anatomical construction with multidirectional curvature andand its extremely flat surface provide excellent adherence to the body, following the athlete's movement and avoiding undesired movements.

The upper layer, constructed with an innovative foam with extreme permeability and breathabilitytogether with its fabric with hydrophilic treatment, helps to control humidity.

The central channel, designed specifically for the male anatomy,improves blood flow and reduces pressure and numbness. The K12 design is based on anthropometric parameters derived from studies carried out in conjunction with the University of Padua. They make it possible to cover all the mainpressure areas for the cyclistwhich vary according to the type of cycling practiced:

Anthropometric criteria for road cycling.

Maximum protection should be directed at the point of maximum pressure, where the saddle tapers and which should correspond to the cyclist's perineal area.

Anthropometric criteria for gravel

With a more upright position, the angulation is greater on the saddle and the body weight is shifted backwards. Thus, the points of maximum pressure are located in the ischial protuberances.

EIT ECO Carbonium fabric Flash

The EIT fabric(Elastic Interface® fabric Technology) withcarbon yarn is an optimal moisture management system and is used for itsantistatic and bacteriostatic properties.which ensure the bacterial balance of the cyclist's skin while stopping the potential growth of bacteria on the skin. chamois.

It features a revolutionary design in two overlapping layers, which work together to improve moisture management. The upper one, with a ribbed structure, collects and transports sweat; the lower one expels it, thanks to its extraordinary drying capacity.

The fabrics used come from sustainable raw materials through recycling, ensuring a reduction in waste and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

100 % standard certificationOEKO-TEX. The OEKO-TEX® 100 standard for finished products certifies the non-toxicity of raw materials, semi-finished products and other materials used in the different production processes.
