The full Carbon have a look very distinctive and appealing, is that much more attention to detail, the stitching, the materials used. The overalls he wears it with ease and the back wide and high, pierced with the network allows it, if you wish, to do without a deep technical level. The front, very open, facilitates dressing and cooling of the body. Excellent silicon on the edge of great shorts and also the type of elastic used, keep the fabric well without it being too tighten the range and not bother even after several hours.

In the two side you can enter things more ready to use, while the central, closed with zip, you can store what should not be lost (documents or the car keys). The elastic at the bottom of the jersey is equipped with silicon, again the choice is excellent and the mesh is always steady in its place.

The breathability of the most complete is that good, with a prevalence of the mesh on the shirt because of the different tissues with which they are made.
