Product Description
The Boab is our classic men’s recumbent jersey. It offers a great fit and a number of features that illustrate why it’s our best-selling jersey and so well suited for recumbent cycling and other sports in reclined positions. It’s made from a technical Quick Dry fabric that’s perfect for activity.
The matching Ironbark recumbent cycling shorts are modest and very comfortable, with a flash of gold on blue. You get function and durability from a cycling short designed specifically for recumbent riders. No more cutting out pads or making do with running shorts. Yes, we know you’ve tried cutting out the pad, or at least you’ve studied the stitching stood in the bike store to see if it could be removed… We’ve seen you.
The Lycra in these provides great fit and support, while allowing total body movement in the recumbent position. They feature a 7-panel design to minimize potential pressure points. The unique lining and its position is customized just for recumbents – you don’t need a thick pad running front to back like regular shorts, you need a slim liner that prevents chafing and pressure points in the crotch and thighs when cycling without a regular saddle keeping your legs apart. That’s what we’ve done with these shorts. Once you’ve tried these, you’ll never put up with other shorts again.
