What began in 2008 with the first baggy shorts has now become the trademark of Swiss bike clothing company Qloom: functional bike shorts with a certain casual look. A highlight of the 2015 summer collection is a small revolution in the road bike sector, the Fraser Loose Fit Shorts, a loose, casual pair of road bike shorts. The well thought-out cut, the latest bonding and lasercut processes for processing and practical detailed solutions also impressed the jury of the Eurobike Award.

The 4-way stretch material should ensure a comfortable fit, as should the Lycra inner shorts. 18 millimeter thick seat pads, consisting of various elastic foam layers, have an antibacterial effect and cushion the sit bones even on long rides. The combination of abrasion-resistant materials in the seat area and extremely elastic fabrics on the thighs and hips guarantee maximum freedom of movement. Wide leg cuffs provide the typical Qloom baggy short style.

In addition to the loose-fitting shorts for road bikes, Qloom also sends other items with the same credo onto the road: the Fraser Short Sleeve jersey is made from a quick-drying material mix that protects the skin from harmful UV rays. The mesh sections inserted at the sides quickly transport moisture away from the skin, even on sweaty tours, and a full-length zipper enables optimum heat regulation. The range is complemented by a long sleeve, light vest, light weight jacket and tight bib shorts, socks, short and long gloves. Available for both men and women.

Qloom has so far focused exclusively on off-road clothing, the 2015 season marks the starting point for road clothing. In addition to loose bike pants, the range also includes skin-tight bib shorts for a purist slicker look.
