Description
WHAT IT IS
Breathable, lightly insulated knickers engineered for spring and fall conditions when tights are too warm and shorts are too cool, updated with more fit security and long-distance comfort.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
For the next generation of lightly insulated UMA Knickers, we’ve incorporated several new features and textiles, the most notable being our hipClick construction, which stabilizes the leg panels and insert. The leg bands received a similar treatment with a design that’s lighter and more breathable, and our updated UMA GT C2 insert shifts cushioning to support more upright, less aggressive riding positions—ideal for comfort over longer distances.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Pair with the Spring Fall Skin Layer and UMA GT Spring Fall Jersey or Jacket as conditions require during the unpredictable and often cool days of transitional seasons.
FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
RX EVO provides midweight thermal insulation for the moderate, variable temperatures of spring and fall. Its brushed inner face is soft against the skin with breathability and ECO water repellency that manage moisture from inside and out. The true black material stays black rather than blanching while stretching across the knees. CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our streamlined regularFit provides total comfort for longer rides. The new waist construction provides additional support across the abdomen and maintains a secure fit.
ENGINEERING
- hipClick: A waist construction that combines elastic and mesh layers for high coverage that eliminates restriction, stabilizes the knickers’ body panels, and locks the insert in place.
- Ultralight Leg Grippers: Elastic woven through the bands creates a secure hold without restriction.
UMA GT C2 INSERT
- Shock-Absorb Damping Mono 9: Compressive foam layers in a 9mm endurance platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.
- goldenGate: The stitching pattern anchors the front and back but lets the insert float, allowing it to move with your body rather than against it.
- 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
