OUR NEW "MEDIUM DENSITY" CHAMOIS PAD
We have created this "medium density" chamois pad to keep you more comfortable in the saddle.
The fabric is soft and breathable. The padded zone is soft, with a density of 100 kg/m3 and a thickness of 13mm. The fabric is perforated to allow perspiration to escape. This pad keeps you comfortable in the saddle when riding for around 2 hours
Its shape
To design the shape of the padding (area with thicker foam), we conducted tests on a pressure pad before moulding the pad on a mannequin and carrying out sizing and usage tests. This test, conducted on real cyclists, involves measuring the pressure points exerted on the saddle. The padded area covers the contact points that experience the greatest pressure. There is a dart at the front for a better fit.
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.
A rating to compare products' environmental impact.
A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire life cycle using various indicators.
An overall rating (ABCDE) is given, allowing you to easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing similar products to each other (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks etc.).
Decathlon openly displays the environmental ratings of its products.

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.
