As an ergonomics specialist, SQlab focusses on the contact points between man and material. In the past, the Upper Bavarians have therefore mainly brought handlebars, grips and saddles onto the market. Now the new SQlab cycling shorts are designed to make sitting even more comfortable, regardless of the saddle.
The respective trousers themselves come from the cooperation partner MalojaThe seat pads are customised by SQlab for the respective area of use (enduro, mountain bike, road bike). In general, the seat padding follows the motto "thin and hard". The One12 road bike shorts, for example, have a seat pad that is only four millimetres thick. They are available in six sizes and cost 189.95 euros.
SQlab One11 with protectors and gel seat pad
The Mountain bike bib shorts One11 has a slightly thicker seat pad (six millimetres) with an integrated layer of TPE gel (TPE: thermoplastic elastomers), which is designed to prevent shear forces and thus chafing. The One11 has also incorporated silicone-like flexible protectors on the sides of the thighs. These are designed to prevent abrasions to the thigh in the event of a fall. If you want, you can simply remove the protector pads on the left and right from the trousers. The cut, price and sizes remain the same compared to the racing trousers. SQlab One12 the same.
"No Strava" pants for freeride mountain bikers
Anyone looking for airy pants for their freeride session could be happy with the SQlab One10. The mesh fabric is particularly breathable and at eight millimetres, the seat pad is twice as thick as the sporty One12. The One10 trousers with the casual inscription "No Strava, No Problems" costs 99.95 euros.
SQlab seat cushions also available from other manufacturers
In addition to the company's own trousers, the three different SQlab seat pads will also be sewn into the trousers from Vaude, Ekoi and Maloja. The company is reportedly in negotiations with other clothing manufacturers.
