Just as race day calls for your race gear, cycling training calls for your cycling gear. The reasons for this are obvious. When you're hammering intervals through your long base miles, you're going to need a cycling-specific cut and a chamois that's more substantial than what tri shorts typically provide. For this very reason, TYR created its Carbon VLO Shorts.
For the construction of Carbon VLO Tri shorts, TYR pulled out all of the stops. Starting with the bulk of the composition, TYR incorporated a blend of nylon and spandex. Why these materials? Well, it all comes down to three key components: moisture management, comfort, and stretch. The nylon fibers of the fabric lend themselves to first two of these characteristics, as the material is lightweight and soft-to-the-touch. Accordingly, it pulls moisture away from the skin to the quick-drying surface of the material. As a result, you not only benefit from a dry, protective layer, but your skin also remains dry and free from moisture-induced chafing. Meanwhile, the spandex provides a four-way stretch to the material, enabling a complete freedom of movement within the shorts. Additionally, this allowed stretch enables the material to follow your diverse movements, preventing the shorts from resisting them. So, friction is nearly eliminated, bolstering the overall comfort of the shorts.
In terms of fit, TYR cut the shorts with a medium rise and a nine-inch inseam. Accordingly, you receive ample coverage, which promotes muscle support and skin protection. Additionally, the leg openings have been bonded, replacing the common elastic or silicone gripper system. As a result of their absence, the shorts are free from either abrasion or pinching over the quads and hamstrings.
Furthering this level of comfort, TYR included its new Carbon VLO chamois. This insert features a fully-elastic construction in order to support and follow all of your movements in the saddle. And in addition to this, TYR has also constructed the VLO from three different densities of foam. So, the insert supports your body where it needs it, not where it doesn't. Through this construction technique, TYR has been able to create an anatomic shape for the chamois. So, chafing, bunching, and pinching are nearly eliminated. And to deal with friction between the skin and the surface of the insert, TYR rounded out the construction with a lifetime-guaranteed, bacteriostatic fabric at the chamois' surface.
