We get to know Kalas' clients in our Customer Stories series. These can be cycling clubs but also groups of friends, events or companies.

If we want to cycle when the weather is drizzly or rainy, we have two options. Either we hop on the indoor trainer and do a workout from the convenience of our own home, or we step out of our comfort zone and brave the weather outside. Both options offer benefits, but those who venture outdoors should consider a more substantial layer of clothing.

The insert, known among cyclists as the 'chamois’ or ‘pad’, is probably the most important part of any pair of cycling shorts. The quality of the pad is crucial for comfort and performance when cycling. A properly designed pad minimizes pressure on sensitive areas, provides ergonomic support and helps prevent blisters or abrasions. That's why our shorts and tights only feature pads from Elastic Interface, the world-renowned leader in this field. Years of experience, a proactive approach to development and the brand's exquisite materials ensure maximum comfort in the saddle.
