A great ride starts well before oyu actually get on the bike. It’s a matter of dressing for success, from the inside, then out. The Specialized Ultralight Liner Men's Short with SWAT gets you in the game early, with a state of the art chamois. A 3D Chamois insert that's shaped for your body ensuring that it keeps pressure off of soft tissue like nothing else on the market, while also providing enhanced blood flow and plenty of support while in the saddle. We could go even further with medical explanations on why it's so awesome, but what's more important to you is that it's extremely comfortable. The short most innovative feature is what Specialized calls their Swat technology. A patented- pending design houses two integrated Swat pockets on the shorts themselves. The pockets sit flush against the body, and they're shaped and structured to ensure that their contents won't ever come bouncing out. As for the shorts themselves, they are designed to stand on their own, not literally, but in the sense that you'd love wearing them with or without the nifty pockets. To do so, they are made from venerable VaporRiz mesh fabrics that take lightweight to the extreme for a more comfortable and cooling feel, while the 8.5-inch inseam (size Medium) plays nicely with shorts when you're layering. Turn a good ride into a great one with the Specialized Ultralight Liner Men's Short with SWAT.
