Design details

Our new "Soft" pad

To ensure greater comfort in the saddle, we created this "Soft" chamois pad. The fabric is soft and breathable. The reinforced zone is soft, with a density of 65 kg/m3 and a thickness of 13mm. This pad ensures comfort during road bike rides of around 1 hour.

Its shape

The shape of the reinforcements (thicker foam area) was defined by tests on a pressure pad. This test, conducted on real cyclists, involves measuring the pressure points exerted on the saddle. We were able to trace the reinforcement area by selecting the points of contact where the pressure was greatest. The overall shape of the pad was designed by modelists using a mould on a model, and then approved after several trials and use tests.

Reinforced areas

The ischiums are well-covered, and the perineum is also protected. The reinforced area is relatively narrow between the legs to prevent irritation/rubbing while pedalling. Channels have been embossed into the reinforcements to provide greater flexibility.

Care tips

Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic programme. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry.Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

Product tests

Our team of product designers based at the B'Twin Village in Lille is continuously working to make cycling more comfortable for our users. Our obsession is to create products that meet the specific cycling needs of our users and eliminate things that get in the way of their rides.We then test our products in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting them to real world conditions, like the ones you experience on your bike, can we continuously improve our products.
