The critical updates to the new EQUIPE RS shorts are a new textile and a new insert. The new textile, Type.911, allowed us to completely reengineer the cut, reducing the seam count and wrinkles while micro-adjusting fit across the legs and waist. It also let us eliminate the rollBar bib strap design, because Type.911 is more elastic and more compressive than the Type.441 used on the previous generation. Rather than merely suspended from bib straps, the S11 shorts envelope the rider’s body in omnidirectional, body-mapped stability. The new RS S11 insert’s top sheet is both softer against the body and more durable for washing, and it has an improved odor control treatment while maintaining its predecessor’s cooling airflow, micro-shock damping, and low-volume, lightweight profile.

FEATURED FABRICS

Type.911 is a new warp-knit textile composed for the SCHTRADIVARI. Its silky smooth, abrasion-resistant texture provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. It also dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with UPF 50+ protection and odor control.
