SpecializedRBX SWAT Short - Men's
Item # SCQ006J
RBX Short + SWAT
The original Specialized RBX is a cycling short designed for all-day riding, and the Specialized RBX Short + SWAT includes pocketing to provide storage suitable for daylong rides. Coupled with an articulated, form-fitting design, the short's four-way stretch fabric gives freedom of movement and a remarkably soft feel. Specialized infused the leg cuffs with silicone for a stay-put feel while you pedal. The short's real comfort comes from a Specialized Body Geometry 3D Chamois for exceptional cushioning. It's pre-molded to the curve of saddles for reduced wrinkling and hot spots. Specialized added a soft top sheet to minimize friction for daylong rides. SWAT-pocketing provides side pockets sized for energy bars. The short is finished with reflective elements for nighttime rides, and maximum sun protection for the daytime.- Cycling short outfitted with ample storage

I bought these for the pockets as when it is very hot sometimes i like to ride with a dry fit compression shirt and still need some pockets. The pockets are great in location and fit. Phone goes in, never feel it. What i DO feel is the discomfort on even relatively short rides. Longest ride in them is just 20 mi. If I went farther I would be accused of masochism. The pants come up high on the abdomen and roll over. The front of the pants and chamois just don't work to protect your privates. I typically ride Assos, Giordana FR-C and there are no issues at all with your equipment. After 15 miles, sometimes before, the chaffing and lack of a place to stay home is terrible. These cost way too much to have such poor fit. I am relegating them to short, hard training rides where I can get my intervals in before any serious discomfort sets in. If Assos or Giordana had leg pockets . . .
