Official description: Dublin Edge Gel Full-Seat Breeches
The Dublin Edge Gel Full Seat Breeches feature an engineered fabric with a dust-resistant coating for ultimate rider comfort, protection and flexibility. The Ezi-Grip gel full seat provides maximum grip, while an action panel down the leg provides supreme range of motion. The air-panel ankle cuff allows for a close fit without adding bulk.
A really smart and practical looking pair of breeches that looked suitable for all disciplines.
Overview of performance
These breeches were very comfortable to wear and fitted nicely. They were also very lightweight and breathable. However, I felt they were on the slightly pricier side for what is a fairly standard pair of breeches.
Likes and dislikes
These breeches are of a good length and fitted well. But, the pockets are not big enough to put much in and the gel grips did get rather sticky in the heat.
Verdict
These breeches are suitable for slightly milder summer days when you are going to be working hard.
