There's a time and place for power meters, Lycra, and skinsuits, but multiday gravel touring adventures and shuttle laps need not apply. Instead, those days are best paired with liners, Giro's Venture Shorts II, and an empty spot on your handlebar where the head unit would normally go. The shorts' synthetic blend is mostly nylon, giving the Venture II a more durable face than your typical Lycra shorts and helping it stand up to granite boulders-turned-benches or the rough surface of concrete parking stops when you stop at a country store to rest and refuel.
