‘Our products embody our commit-ment to innovation’ — this quote does not only stand for GORE® products like cycling kits or winter riding jackets. The results of endless research, testing and developing are also applicable to pro-ducts which are not as glamorous or ob-vious, but that are still extremely import-ant when it comes to comfort.

In this case, we’re talking about seat inserts. To ensure that we can offer our cycling customers seat inserts which meet our high standards and also follow our principle of ‘form follows function’, we searched for the best partners in the industry. Dolomiti Pads and Elastic Interface are both well known for their experience, quality and knowledge in manufacturing cycling seat inserts. To-gether with them, and based on scien-tifically proven studies, which are cons-

tantly repeated to ensure we are ahead of the fast changing environment of the cycling sport, we are able to develop and offer seat inserts that best meet cyc-lists’ needs.

We look at every angle of the sport and human body, and evaluate athletes’ and riders’ test feedback before we apply new technologies in our inserts. From highly functional, light weight, and bre-athable elastic fabrics and foams to a variety of different shape designs for both genders and for different levels and disciplines of riding, we touch every in-gredient to ensure cyclists have the best possible riding experience and comfort.

To underline our constant innovation ap-proach we introduced our unique GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup Technology.

A bib shorts design that stems from the central torso and keeps the seat insert in the correct position no matter what.

To combat this, GORE® Wear‘s revolu-tionary new ‘central torso architecture’ builds the whole design concept around the seat insert.

With ‘central torso architecture’ every-thing revolves around the seat insert and how it is connected to the body and the bib shorts. This design keeps the seat insert in the perfect position – and thus provides a stable but sensitive con-nection between rider and bike.
