n cool conditions, full-length tights are often overkill but summer shorts and warmers leave your upper legs and your core exposed to chill. The ¾-length of thermal knickers is a classic solution, updated here with some modern technical touches.The new thermoregulating textile, POLAR, is over 50% pre-consumer recycled material. It’s also softer and more elastic than the textile on the previous GT Knickers, and it’s breathable enough to prevent a clammy chill if the temperature – or the intensity level – rises, and the soft, lightly brushed inner face traps warmth in your microclimate. Raw-cut cuffs and the stabilizing rollBar construction are both adapted from the Racing Series, adding performance details to endurance comfort and the insert’s inclusion of a Sundeck panel reduces moisture retention, ensuring dry, warm comfort.
