Description
WHAT IT IS
Summer-weight knickers that offer extended coverage for UV protection and moisture management, wrapping the legs down to the upper calves in compressive breathability.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Our new hipClick construction gives the UMA GT Summer Knickers a steady, stabilizing fit. They’re built for long rides in warm conditions, with coverage that extends UV protection, light compression, and moisture management below the knees. The pre-shaped panels and high-stretch qualities conform to the legs without inhibiting the pedal stroke, and the updated UMA GT C2 insert increases endurance comfort with cushioning for a more upright, less aggressive riding position.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Pair with the UMA GT Jersey for extended UV protection or knee coverage on cool summer mornings.
FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
Our Type.429 textile ensures breathability and a lightly compressive hold with maximum elasticity and built-in odorControl. Supplemental panels of Tech Sheen Mesh tune the fit by wrapping the muscles in compressive stability.
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.
