Shorts are the most important piece of clothing when cycling, especially for many hours. They must be comfortable, efficient and of great technical quality, since they have to support our weight and contribute to a fluid movement of the legs. Northwave, in fact, has decided to create the Extreme Pro 2. A garment that completes the Extreme collection and that matches perfectly with theExtreme Evo Jersey. There are no limits for these new shorts, both on the road and off-road, they are effective and high-performance. 

Even during the most intense efforts, the Extreme Pro 2 does not lose its position

The case back 

If you want to focus on the technical qualities of the Extreme Pro 2 shorts, you need to look at the chamois: the Paris HP. A product developed directly by Elastic Interface, with triple density characteristics. A way to give the right support to each area, with particular attention to the perineal and ischial areas.

The chosen fabric is Eit Rhombus, made with an innovative structure which combines the natural antiseptic and bacteriostatic properties of carbon fiber with a channeled structure that helps wick away sweat. The pad also has a perforated surface that increases ventilation and air exchange. 

Breathable, comfortable and lightweight

The fabric with which the Extreme Pro 2 shorts are made is Cobra 40 Power by SitipIt is a material with great qualities: resistant, covering, breathable and easy to maintain. The support offered to the cyclist is of the highest level, as well as muscle compression that helps activate blood circulation. This last detail is provided by the single-panel construction. The Cobra 40 Power fabric contains two important technologiesMicrosense Soft Performance and Eclipse Sun Protection. The end result is excellent UV protection. 

A raw cut has been used at the end, for better aerodynamic efficiency, to which a non-slip silicone print is added. With the Extreme Pro 2 it will be impossible to lose your position on the saddle, even during the most intense efforts. The back is in Eurojersey's perforated Sensitive fabric, ultra-thin and soft microfibre with 27% lycra, extremely light and breathable.
