Victoire MVC

Wore these on a 60km ride through the city and the compression is noticeably firmer than my old pair, which I actually like for longer efforts. The gripper on the thighs never crept up once, even with all the stop-and-go traffic.

The pad stays put even through sprints on cobbles, and the fabric wicks like a charm under a summer jersey. I’ve worn it for back-to-back centuries and barely noticed it was there.

First 30 minutes in these and I forgot I was wearing them—the pad stayed put through every climb and the leg grippers didn’t leave a mark. Rode a fast 80k to the café and back, zero chafing, and the fabric feels like it’s made for hot pavement.
