This is Aero Tech Designs’ Men’s Elite Padded Cycling Short in royal blue, a compression short with the brand’s top long-distance chamois. The multi-panel cut follows the pedal stroke, and flatlock seams sit away from pressure points.
It is the short for long days — centuries, multi-day tours, back-to-back training weekends — where pad quality and seam placement decide how mile eighty feels. The compression fit supports the legs and the leg bands hold position without digging.
Aero Tech Designs has designed and sewn cycling apparel at its factory in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, since the 1980s, with one of the widest size ranges in cycling.
