The substantial CoolMax insert provides ample support and has good wicking properties, keeping the crotch area drier and therefore less prone to bacterial infection. Seamless, eight-panel Nylon/Polyester/Lycra construction scores further points, maximising mobility while the high back protects against early season chill.
The trademark black and red Revolution livery has a slightly 1980s flavour and might not be to everyone’s taste but sizing is dead on, the large fitting perfectly. The silicon grippers prevent them wandering up the calves without leaving any tell-tale branding. A spill and tangle with prickly foliage failed to make any impression on the material and they emerge like new after a 40° machine wash.
Being picky, the insert’s size left me feeling a little self-conscious at rest stops and personally, the graphics could’ve been sharper but these are matters of personal taste rather than a true reflection of performance, which is excellent.
