VAUDE MEN’S KURO BIB TIGHTS II

When the road ends, is the fun just beginning for you? Then the MEN'S KURO BIB TIGHTS II from VAUDE are your go-to shorts for the season!

The centrepiece of the bike shorts is the X-PAD seat pad. With its four-layer construction and, in particular, the integrated 3D grid structure, the pad provides high shock absorption for long-lasting fun in the saddle. Just like the rest of the bib, the padding is also pleasantly breathable. A great extra feature: These bib shorts have two practical pockets on the sides!

Highlights & Technologies:

GREEN SHAPE:
VAUDE's quality seal for products that are produced in a particularly environmentally-friendly way. As there is no worldwide standard for the assessment of organic products, VAUDE has developed their own rating system for environmentally friendly outdoor products with strict criteria. GREEN SHAPE labelled products are made from sustainable materials and with resource saving production methods. The criteria are not only strict but also continuously reviewed and involve the entire product lifecycle, ranging from development through to product care and recycling after use. The aim of this rating system is to minimize the environmental impact.

GRÜNER KNOPF (“GREEN BUTTON”):
The German textile seal GRÜNER KNOPF (“Green Button”) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. 26 social and ecological criteria are considered for each product. The companies must prove their human rights, social and ecological responsibilities.

POLYAMIDE RECYCLING:
For this product, VAUDE uses some robust, lightweight and fast-drying polyamide yarn. These are surplus materials and cutting room scraps from polyester production that – instead of being disposed of as waste (as is often the case) – are collected, processed and returned into the production cycle. This maximizes the utilisation of valuable resources in material production and minimises the amount of new raw materials used for a product.

SLIM FIT:
Close-fitting.

STRETCH:
The material’s high elasticity is achieved through a high percentage of elastane or through a special knitting / weaving technology. The elasticity of the material increases comfort, performance and freedom of movement.

X-PAD:
The "X" in the name stands for "Cross" and thus directly describes its ideal purpose: This pad is made for fast off-road riding. Whether you're mountain biking or gravelling, the combination of a four-layer construction with a 3D grid structure ensures comfortable shock absorption.
• Shock-absorbing four-layer construction
• approx. 15 mm thick
• Foam with elastic 3D grid structure
• With perforated surface
