With an aim of providing swift wicking properties, I actually found the Evolution fabric thicker than other shorts on test, so teamed well with leg and knee warmers on cooler days.

Sugoi Evolution women's shorts gave a supportive feel, and although no silicone or specialist material is used around the leg cuff, they held their length well.
