Smooth and resistant. Excellent design!
"Very satisfied! For urban use as well as for nature outings, these shorts are excellent for their cut, protection that exudes solidity, and the reinforced zones are very well integrated: the shorts don't feel like a patchwork of patched elements, but rather a single sheathing element that accompanies pedaling and movement. The groin/buttock protection should hold up well to wear and tear - to be seen over time."
