Capo is all about combining Italian design sensibilities with high-end modern technology, and the SC Donna Women’s Cycling Shorts are firmly in line with this philosophy. The Donna shorts forgo bibs in favor of a simple, compressive form that fits so well it makes bibs unnecessary. They’re carefully constructed from HG Lycra, a muscle-supporting material that reduces vibration to conserve energy, while increasing blood flow for extended endurance and faster recovery. Capo constructs the Donna with ergonomic panels and carefully located seams to increase flexibility and reduce rubbing, and they’re finished with a comfortable, overlapping waistband that won’t pinch or slide up. Between you and saddle, the Women’s Giro HD Carbon EIT chamois provides lightweight, breathable, and ergonomic cushioning, with carbon fibers that fight odor-producing microbes so you can wear the Donna during multi-day tours without worrying.
