To combat the sore bottoms suffered by avid cyclists without making them look ridiculous, the Kor Unterwear has been created. It takes the padding out of more typical shorts and places it in people's underwear. Still comfortable without the unnecessary bulk, the Kor Unterwear is something every cyclist could use in his or her wardrobe.
Made using high performance Italian fabrics, the Kor Unterwear features a wide elastic waistband and Bureau Veritas certified spandex. The pad is not only comfortable, it is also bacteriostatic and absorbs sweat. Kor's founder Allison Cline says, "I was sick of getting off my bike, wanting to join my ladies for a cocktail and looking like a seal with a maxi pad stitched into my behind."
