This is Aero Tech Designs’ Men’s Gel Touring Padded Bike Short, built around a long-distance chamois with high-density gel inserts and a smooth single-fabric face rated for six-plus saddle hours. The 84/16 nylon-spandex body resists chafe and abrasion across seasons of riding.
It is cut for touring and long charity rides where stuff must come along — the large mesh side pockets hold phone, food, and maps without a jersey, while the drawstring waist, soft silicone leg grippers, and 3M reflective accents handle the all-day practicalities.
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.
