Description
Here is the complete translation in clear, professional English:
HEAD Race Short: Performance and Protection
The essential accessory for training and competition warm-ups.
This short is designed to offer complete freedom of movement while providing reliable protection against wind, snow, and the severe cold of mountain peaks.
Technical Features
-
Durable Construction: Made from stretch softshell featuring an IAM 20/20 membrane (20,000 mm waterproofness / 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability), creating an optimal barrier against the elements.
-
Full-Length Side Zips: Equipped with full-length lateral zippers. This allows you to strip off the shorts in seconds right before your race start, without needing to take off your ski boots.
-
Adjustable Waistband: A wide elastic waistband with a Velcro adjustment system ensures a precise fit, even over a thick race suit.
-
Lateral Protection: Features light padding or reinforcements on the hips to absorb potential impacts from slalom gates.
Practical Details
| Feature | Specifications |
| Material | Softshell with a light fleece lining |
| Fit | Ergonomic (pre-shaped for speed tuck position) |
| Design | Iconic HEAD "Worldcup Rebels" logo |
| Sizing | Available in Junior and Adult sizes |
Why Use It?
"The Race Short maintains optimal muscle temperature. A warm muscle is more responsive and less prone to injury during explosive efforts like a Slalom or Giant Slalom start."
-
Comfort: Anti-slip silicone leg grippers prevent the shorts from riding up during movement.
-
Versatility: Also ideal for free skiing in spring weather, when a race suit alone is too light but full ski pants are too warm.

Sizing Advice
-
Waist Measurement: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (just above the belly button).
-
Hip Measurement: Measure around the widest part of your hips. This is the most critical measurement, as the shorts must not restrict your range of motion in a speed tuck position.
-
Between Sizes? If you plan to wear bulky hip padding underneath your race suit, it is generally recommended to size up.
-
Adjustability: Keep in mind that the waistband is adjustable via Velcro straps, allowing you to fine-tune the fit if you fall between sizes.
