Ekoi offers shorts with weight-specific seatpads
Ekoi has introduced Pro Gel Memory bib shorts with seatpads of different densities for different rider weights.
If you’ve not heard of Ekoi, it’s a French internet retailer with a massive European presence. www.ekoi.com It offers fully customisable clothing, helmets, goggles and shoes through its online configurators.
The idea is that you can customise the Pro Gel Memory bib shorts with the pad that’s suitable for your weight. One pad is designed for riders who weigh less than 70kg, the next is for riders weighing 71-77kg, and the third is for those who are heavier than that. Heavier riders get a higher density of gel.
The Italian pads feature micro-perforations to improve breathability and ventilation channels. The memory gel that’s inserted in the pads is designed to adapt to your anatomy and ensure a comfortable ride.
The shorts look high quality, made from various different types of Lycra with a mesh upper and 6cm elasticated leg cuffs.
The new bibs shorts are offered on the www.ekoi.com website at £118.96 although we notice that they’re reduced by 20% to £95.15 right now.
All Ekoi products are sent in 8-10 working days from its warehouse in Saint-Raphael de Frejus, France and can only be bought from www.ekoi.com.
Ekoi came visiting a couple of weeks ago to show off its latest wares. Look out for reviews of some of its most interesting products on road.cc soon.

Worth noting that Galibier offer a repair service for their garments which, apart from the potential money saving, is a very refreshing attitude...
FLY6 FTW then I'm on my second one - had first gen. now second gen. (imho the best model).
Welcome Rebecca.
I don't think it does call for ONLY joggers and cyclists. I suspect it is more of an argument from her that they should have them on. She is...
Reviews of anything are subjective. Bikes are no different. Think of them as filters, rather than absolute Gospel.
It's a beautiful shot evoking happy memories of autumn commutes. The art director spent ages getting that leaf to stick in exactly the right place.
Yep, the lorry driver was massively at fault for not assessing the approaching traffic properly. But the black car is not blameless here either -...
Delete what? The internet?
It came in at the same time as using the word "unprecedented", no wonder you didn't see it coming. Oh, and how any time something is being opposed...
98th in a Grand Tour when you're still crocked ain't bad. Have to wonder what he could achieve if he does get back to full fitness. Big if of course.
