We want to take this opportunity, to wish SQlab a big congratulations and applaud the great partnership. We are always extremely happy and proud, when our customers are willing to push the limits, and innovate the industry.

Here is what the jury says:

“With the women’s SQ-Shorts ONE12, German ergonomics gurus SQlab put an end to long pee breaks for women, having to strip layer after layer before they can get toit. For their first female-specific bib shorts, SQlab designed the Easy Exit system, which lets you pull down your pants without having to take off your jersey. For this purpose, the back of the shorts doesn’t sit as high on your back, allowing you to pull them down quickly and easily without having to use clips or other fiddly mechanisms. When it comes to women’s bib shorts, this is the most intuitive and logical solution we’ve seen to date. A small section of double-layered fabric above the front waistband seam prevents the shorts from cutting into your skin, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit. The SQ-ShortsONE12 Women is available in 8 different sizes with a women-specific fit, offering a suitable option for pretty much all female riders.”
