For those that demand comfort the Athena Pro Gel Series is the one! The Athena Pro Gel Series Short delivers the ultimate in Comfort and Performance. To make these shorts the most comfortable we chose the very best female specific Gel chamois from our supplier in Italy. We then matched it to our Pro spec shorts pattern which has no inner leg seams to help reduce any chaffing as well as flat-lock seams on all leg panels. The flat-lock seams sit flat with the skin providing a smooth comfortable transition between panels. Finally the short is designed to sit high at the back and low at the front. This is to give the cyclist the optimum fit while riding. With tensioned elastic in the back of the short to hold it up and Athena's Waist System in the front to provide support without cutting into the stomach area.
