Use soft, chafe-free
fabrics that wash easily and feel nice against the skin |
|
|
Put the seams where
they will not rub or be bothersome when sweaty |
|
|
Create clothes with an
eye on style as well as function. Apparel does not
have to be neon and shiny to ride a bike in it |
|
|
Make waistbands that
sit lower, have no rough zippers or elastic, and do not
irritate one's navel |
|
|
Use fabrics and materials from respected US and Canadian
companies whenever possible. Continue to have our gear
sewn and assembled in the US for as long as we can hold out. |

Be sure that all
Harlot clothing looks as good walking into the brewery for a
post-ride celebration as it does on the bike |
We at Harlot have never been
big fans of thick stiff padding in bike shorts & pants. On the
other hand, shorts with no padding at all and seams through the
crotch can be downright ouchy. We dreamed of a seamless liner
made of silky fabric with just a tiny bit of padding.
Something that wouldn't catch on the front of your seat or create an
unsightly diaper appearance to your rear. We imagined a liner
that wouldn't bind or bunch your thighs or feel hot on summer days.
Then we said, hell, let's give it a try. Our little liner is
pretty simple, really, but it does everything that we had hoped for.
It's the perfect amount of padding for casual mountain and urban
rides. We call our liner the Beaver Comfort Zone (BCZ), because that is exactly
what it is.
Try it and your beaver will thank you....
