SQlab mise sur le Supersoft TPE pour une répartition optimale de la pression dans les cuissards
Le secteur du sport est en plein boom et il n’y a jamais eu autant de cyclistes sur les routes allemandes. Avec ou sans soutien électrique, se déplacer sur deux roues est devenu populaire. Comme raison, 85% des personnes interrogées (selon le Fahrrad-Monitor 2020) indiquent qu’elles veulent veiller à leur forme et plus des deux tiers mettent l’accent sur la protection de l’environnement. En parallèle, la demande pour des équipements de grande qualité, ayant un effet positif sur l’expérience cycliste, augmente. Et au premier rang: les cuissards. Ce vêtement doit être élégant, fonctionnel, et surtout bien rembourré. Que ce soit pour une course ou une longue randonnée: pour que le tour en vélo ne se transforme pas en torture, l’entreprise SQlab originaire de Munich mise sur le Supersoft TPE pour les nouveaux inserts dans ses pantalons. Elle a développé des coussinets d’une valeur extrême, ergonomique et présentant une grande longévité – pour que faire du vélo reste toujours un plaisir.
