Chamois Gobik K7

 

Chamois perfect for medium outings

Its flat surface with minimal relief provides a smooth contact with the very smooth contact with the skin. One of its key features is the elasticity of its pads, capable of working with the cyclist's body and movements without any chafing.

The central channel, designed specifically for the male anatomy, improves blood flow and reduces pressure and numbness. The K7 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 main pressure 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 cycling off road

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 X-Tract® fabric

The EIT fabric (Elastic Interface® Technology) ECO X-Tract fabric features a revolutionary design in two overlapping layers, which work together to improve moisture management. The upper layer, with a ribbed structure, collects and transports sweat; the lower layer 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 certificateOEKO-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.
