Morvelo Emblem liner shorts


MORVELO’S LINER SHORTS have proven themselves on longer rides, with just one niggle. The reasonably thick chamois means your undercarriage is well protected when in the saddle, and in terms of fit and comfort, it’s hard to fault the Emblems.

The deep elasticated waistband doesn’t dig in and we really like the flatlock stitched, seamless leg openings. Although Morvelo claim the lightweight, stretchy fabric is breathable, we found we still got sweaty in these pretty quickly when wearing them under baggy shorts. This isn’t a big issue in the colder months, but some well-positioned mesh panels would be a welcome addition come summer.
