After the saddle and bib shorts, SQlab completes the perfect trio for the buttocks with the Gravity shorts. The first-ever shorts are extremely high-quality and well thought-out. "We don't look at the money when it comes to our functional clothing. This fabric quality is therefore rare," says SQlab. The 4-way stretch main material of the SQ-Short ONE OX consists of 77 percent nylon, 11 percent polyester, 11 percent spandex and 1 percent nylon Circuitex Silver. Thanks to the laser-perforated fabric, the shorts are said to be very breathable, yet water and dirt-repellent and quick-drying.

A good fit also needs to be ensured: silicone on the inside of the waistband keeps the SQ shorts on the hips without slipping, even on long trail descents. The waistband can also be adjusted thanks to the adjustable waistband with Velcro fastener. And to ensure that you only have a grin on your face after the ride, but nothing shines in your trousers, the right front trouser pocket is also equipped with an electrosmog-reducing material. The zippers are also waterproof.

The SQ-Short ONE OX is available from 225 grams in sizes XS to XXXL for 179.95 euros.
