Men’s Legion Pro Team Bib Shorts,
Rapha has unveiled the L39ION of Los Angeles racing collection as used by the team that has dominated the US crit scene over the last few seasons and are in their first year as a professional Continental team. There are jerseys, bib shorts and accessories, including socks and snoods.
The new volcano-inspired Legion kit now also has women’s cuts as this season is the first that the team has women competing in its colours, with Skylar Schneider and Kendall Ryan welcomed as part of the squad earlier in the year.
Justin and Cory Williams lead the team and look determined to make a difference in cycling, helping increase diversity and inclusion in cycling.
The styling of the kit combines “the familiar crashing wave design with a surge of volcanic energy, befitting the team’s reputation as a force of nature,” Rapha says.
“Cut for comfort in an on-bike position, the [men’s] bib shorts feature our size-specific, dual-density Pro Team chamois pad, as used on race day by Legion riders,” Rapha says. “The uppers are made of a high-stretch mesh fabric that is fast-drying and high-wicking for comfort on hotter days,” Rapha promises.
A single radio pocket is also included on the lower back for use in races. It’s offset to avoid discomfort.
