Louis Garneau Neo Power Motion Short (2017)

Compression is the first word that describes the Louis Garneau Neo Power Motion Short - which fits tightly and supports the torso as the legs are pedaling in circles feverishly to make the bike move fast. The compressive shorts are to the advantage of the wearer for several reasons. First, they increase blood circulation which speeds up recovery time and decreases fatigue by 10-20%. Second, they help prevent muscle vibration which can also fatigue the muscles. Thirdly, the compression, along with the ergonomic fit, provide a perfectly aerodynamic pair of cycling shorts. Made with the Power+Lycra® fiber and Endurexx, the Neo Power Motion shorts support the muscles on each pedal stroke. Additionally, a Powerband at the cuff maintains the position of the shorts no matter how active you are on the bike. What’s important about the Powerband is that it doesn’t restrict circulation. The fabrics are lightweight, smooth and the flatlock seams accentuate the comfort of these Louis Garneau cycling shorts. The Motion Airgel Chamois pad is treated with copper which does amazing things for the rider: It minimizes irritation against the skin, and its antimicrobial and anti-allergen properties help maintain a healthy seat area. The padding was developed with Beveled Edge Molding high-density perforated memory foam. The technology minimizes any drastic drop in foam density which ensures the padding is smooth and it doesn’t chafe the seat area. The chamois pad is designed for long rides. A deep slit at the back plus vents circulate air and keep the rider cool in the seat area. The varying densities help evaporate moisture, therefore the rider stays dry. Staying cool and dry in the seat area is essential, especially on those long rides. To maximize comfort, Louis Garneau built in a central channel which relieves pressure. The Neo Power Motion Shorts keep the rider comfortable on endurance rides and maintain a perfect fit for comfort and performance.
