Roadracing 500 Cycling Shorts - Black

Breathability

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092).

The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapor produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is.

Product tests

Our team of product designers based at the B'Twin Village in Lille is continuously working to make cycling more comfortable for our users. Our obsession is about developing products that meet cyclists' specific needs, overcoming the hindrances of cycling.

We then test our products in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting them to real-world conditions, like the ones you experience on your bike, can we continuously improve our products.

A rating to compare products' environmental impact

A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire lifecycle using various indicators. An overall rating (ABCDE) is given, allowing you to easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing similar products to each other (T-shirts, pants, backpacks etc.).



Decathlon openly displays the environmental ratings of its products.
