Zero RH +

Stripe Women's Knickers

We're all for versatility in our apparel. However, we've noticed that weather-options are typically associated with tops. Think about it, you have sleeveless, long sleeve, and short sleeve jerseys. Then there are jackets, vests, arm warmers, and base layers. But when it comes to the legs, there are shorts and tights. Well, we purposefully left out one option, knickers. Basically, these are the best of both worlds, as you receive that extra touch of protection that you miss out on with shorts, only you won't be drowning in sweat as with tights. And when it comes to quality knickers, it's difficult to compete with the Zero RH + Stripe Women's Knickers.

The body panels of the Stripe knickers were constructed with the Firedry Gold 100 fabric. Zero RH +'s Firedry is a system of materials made into four versions that are distinguished by different weights and stretch characteristics. As with all of the Firedry fabrics, the Gold is lightweight and breathes exceptionally well. It also incorporates highly-elastic fibers that support the leg's muscles through a full range of motion. However, what sets the Gold 100 iteration apart from the other variants is its super-soft feel against the skin and added stretch. The entire knicker was constructed with this fabric due to its ability to firmly hold your primary muscles in place while riding. And, in addition to this, you'll also find that this material effectively wicks away moisture, while also retaining a high-level of breathability. As a result, your temperature remains consistent, and your skin will stay dry.

The knickers' panels were joined together using a technique known as 'preformed anatomic construction.' This method of cutting the individual panels on a curve provides a comfortable, natural fit, especially in the crouched riding position. Zero RH + knows that this tucked-in fit requires special attention to areas prone to fabric bunching and pulling, which is why it placed all of the seams on an anatomic contour. And to ensure that the fit lays as close to the skin as possible, Zero RH + also constructed the knickers with ultra-flat seams throughout.

And because the overall comfort of a pair of shorts cannot exceed the quality of the chamois contained within, the Stripe knickers feature the Zero RH + exclusive, Saturn W chamois. This hand-sewn insert features high-density foam that evenly distributes pressure as you move in the saddle. Additionally, it features a low compression coefficient, meaning that the insert will provide a consistent level of support. This also ensures that the gender-specific Saturn conforms to the body's shape within a cycling position, effectively reducing the risk of skin irritation.

The Zero RH + Stripe Women's Knickers are available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black and Black/white.
