2011 Model Now Here The 10-panel De Soto 400 Mile Bike Short for women is made with curvilinear seamlines, contrast flatstitch and the new women's 400-Mile Pad is designed primarily for comfort as well as incorporating feminine style. The 400-Mile pad floats and stretches, which means it can be used as a race short in a triathlon. Swim, bike and run in it The pad actually stretches with the short and follows the skin as it moves with every pedal stroke, eliminating the friction that can cause irritation or rashes. The front and back of the short are lined for comfort and to create opacity (eliminate the possibility of transparency). One of the great features of this short is what it does not have: no leg gripper eliminating tight binding and squeezing around the thighs creating a more comfortable and attractive short. The short remains in place because it is made of Forza Compressor. It also has a drawstring-elastic waistband and a back pocket that fits a cell phone, mp3 player or fuel packets.
