Body Clone technology shapes the FR-C Pro Short from Giordana around the curves and angles of a rider in motion, eliminating the bunching and shifting that plague less thoughtfully constructed shorts. The panels are cut on a curve rather than flat, which means the fabric lies smooth against your skin when you're in riding position rather than when you're standing upright in a fitting room. For riders who prefer shorts over bibs, this brings pro-level construction to a waistband design without sacrificing the fit characteristics that make long hours in the saddle comfortable.

The HC50 High Compression Power Lycra strikes a balance that's difficult to achieve in cycling apparel. The 220-gram, 50-thread count fabric delivers the supportive compression you want for muscle stabilization, but the hand feel stays soft and supple rather than restrictive. This isn't compression that fights against you. The Ametista Carbon waist panel sits at a height designed to stay in place during the full range of motion cycling demands, from aggressive descents to out-of-the-saddle efforts.

Leg cuffs can make or break a cycling short, and Giordana addresses this with 190 E woven elastic bands that grip without constricting blood flow or leaving marks after a ride. The anti-abrasion seat panel adds durability where you need it most, protecting against saddle wear without adding bulk. Reflective tabs at the back of each leg provide visibility in low light conditions, a practical detail that acknowledges how many training rides start or end in less than ideal lighting.... Read More
