Rosti Superblack Woman summer knickers
by Larisa Chinces, Executive Editor
Mid-season means trying to find kit that’s not too warm and definitely not too cold. Thankfully, Rosti are based in the north of Itay, where spring isn’t always filled with sunshine.
These summer style knickers come without braces, and come down to the area of the mid-calf on the lower leg, keeping you warm… but not too warm. Braces on shorts can often be uncomfortable for women, and as long as the waist elasticity and waistband are good, then you’ll be fine without straps.
These knickers are high-waisted and the band is tight enough for me to keep the knickers up in place. It is woman specific form and I like this feature because I have a smaller waist and I don’t always find the right size to fit. The length of the inseam is perfect to my height ratio (180 cm tall). Actually this is my first ever pair of three quarter length cycling knickers and I really like them; they are perfect for spring and autumn and colder days in summer.
Let’s start with important things first then – the pad. Rosti have used a specifically designed for Bermuda Woman called BORMIO®. And, as we all know that the town of Bormio is in the mountains, it’s a pad made for comfort on long and hard rides – and it is. It’s a pad made completely of recycled yarns, which we like very much. The special combination of high impact foam and gel is perfect for vibration absorption. These Bermuda Woman shorts are indispensable for relaxing excursions on the bike.
The fabric used by Rosti is THIUNDERBIKE® fabric, chosen for these Band cut tights for its strength and quality, it has outstanding qualities: softness, utmost comfort, multi-directional stretch and durability. They’re made in 93% PES and 7% Elastane, which is really comfortable and allows easy movement.
They feel comfortable while riding due to high quality fabrics and pad. The classic black colour matches with any color and pattern you want too!
The compression is medium and it helps to keep the pants stay put, together with the excellent waist band. I really do recommend these pair of classic black three quarter length knickers; it’s a must have type of cycling gear that you should definitely have for spring and autumn and of course for any weather transition period.
Stylish, performance and really comfortable to ride in – I like them, and so will you 🙂
