De Soto Women's 400-Mile Bike Short 2009

The 2009 De Soto Women's 400-Mile Bike Short is an improved version of the 400-Mile™ Bike Short of 2008 with improved fit and comfort. Your hamstrings and quadriceps will thank you for the incredible support. Newly innovated 400-Mile™ pad floats and stretches which means it can be used as a race piece in a triathlon. On the bike, the pad stretches with the short and follows your skin as it moves with every pedal stroke, eliminating the friction that can cause irritation or rashes.

This 10-panel De Soto Women's 400-Mile Bike Short has a Carrera™ Piqué Abdomen panel and piping for added comfort and flexibility on long rides. One of the great features of this short is what it does not have: no leg gripper, eliminating the tight binding around the thighs. Made of Forza Compressor™, this short stays down and in place and also features Liquid Mesh™ to keep you cool. It has 1 back pocket. Curvilinear™ seamlines, microlock stitching, and the 400-Mile™ Pad makes it the most comfortable bike short on the market regardless of price.

Emilio De Soto gave these shorts and bibs the "400-Mile" name from product testing consisting of 400 miles over 4 days. His logic was that many shorts feel fine for 100+ mile rides. The real question is how does that saddle feel when you get on the bike the next morning for another 100 miles...and the next morning? This was the inspiration for the design, the pad, and the name.
