The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

When the liner under your bike shorts is doing its job, you’ll never even notice it. That’s exactly why we love the Kitsbow Ventilated Cycling Liner—they somehow have a barely-there feel that’s also supportive. Mesh panels on the thighs and the small of the back help to dump heat and keep things dry. The quick dry compression panels feel supportive and grippy silicone on the thighs keeps the liner put so it never bunched up on us during our 40-mile ride. Made from seven panels, the shorts never felt restrictive. The Cytech chamois is beefier right where it needs to be under your pelvic bones. You’ll want to pay attention to sizing as these tend to run small. — Sal Vaglica, Senior Editor
