PRO Levitate Chamois:
– The pinnacle of comfort and performance, this chamois pad offers more support with better stretch and breathability than any on the market. The PRO Next-Gen Suspension Core® uses ultra-high-density layers to distribute your body weight over a larger area for more comfort, even deep into a ride when most chamois are packed out. It features our softest, highest stretch 1:1 Boundary Layer that moves with you in and out of the saddle to minimize friction. Whether you’re riding for one hour or twelve, nothing rides better.

Levitate Chamois Series:
– The Levitate family represents our latest innovation in chamois technology. By combining a multi-density Suspension Core™, super-soft 1:1® Boundary Layer top sheet, and seamless Infinite Edge™ transition, the Levitate lets you float through road and trail chatter so you’ll never bottom out.

Reduce Friction:
– Cycling is repetitive, so we use high stretch materials, soft face fabrics, and an innovative floating top layer to smooth the movement between your body and the saddle.

Provide Support:
– While riding, a considerable amount of weight is concentrated on the sit bones, which are about the size of a quarter. Our suspension core design distributes this pressure evenly across a wider area to prevent hot spots and improve long-distance comfort.

Keep Skin Dry:
– We choose specialized, highly breathable layers to allow moisture to move freely away from your body, maintaining skin health and a chafe-free riding experience.

– Luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric balances compression for ultimate comfort
– Triple-density PRO Levitate chamois minimizes skin abrasion and sit bone discomfort while offering premium stretch for elevated contouring to the body

Care:

– Use Simple Detergents With No Additives Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave ´´surfactants´´ behind on a fabric´s fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have ´´Clear´´ or ´´Free´´ in their names. Don´t pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. Read The Content Care Label: On the inside of your garment, or on the hang card, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a ´´Gentle´´ cycle. Close all zippers, attach ´´hook and loop´´ closures on gloves You Can Use The Dryer, Carefully: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a ´´Hot´´ setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
