The ether is an excellent choice on hot rides. While the shell isn’t quite as light as what you’d find on, say, TLD’s Ruckus, Zoic outfits the Ether with large mesh ventilation panels, which run down the inner thighs and along the waistband. That generous venting isn’t immediately obvious, but when you’re working up a sweat, you soon realize that they truly bring in some much-needed breeze. That’s great in the summer months, but isn’t quite so awesome when the mercury drops and the sky is crying.
