Peace of Mind with "Water Repellent + Quick Drying" for the Rainy Season
The major feature of the RSY271 is the adoption of a high-strength air-through stretch fabric with water-repellent processing.

While not fully waterproof rainwear, the fabric surface is treated to repel water and dirt. This makes them easier to use than regular pants during light rain in the rainy season or unexpected showers during a tour, without causing as much worry.
Furthermore, they are made with quick-drying material, so they dry easily even if they get wet from rain or sweat, maintaining comfort even in humid seasons. This model is ideal for those looking for a "summer pant that's actually also good for the rainy season."
Stay Dry Even on Midsummer Rides with T-DRY Material
What concerns riders about summer riding pants are stuffiness and sweat.
Getting uncomfortably hot during traffic stops, or feeling sticky after getting off the bike at your destination...

The RSY271 features TAICHI's original "T-DRY" mesh material, designed specifically for riding.
It boasts strong durability and high moisture vapor transmission, ensuring a dry and comfortable fit. The air-through fabric provides excellent ventilation, preventing the pants from feeling heavy even during hot weather rides, and delivering a light, airy feel characteristic of spring and summer pants.
Simple Straight Silhouette for Easy Wear On and Off the Bike
When choosing riding pants, it's surprisingly important to consider "how they look when you're off the bike."

The RSY271 features a classic straight-leg silhouette. The design isn't overly assertive as riding gear, making it simple and easy to pair with various jackets and shoes.
They blend naturally into scenes off the bike, such as city riding, commuting, day trips, or stops at cafes and roadside stations. These pants are a great choice for those who want cool pants but prefer to avoid overly sporty looks.
Ensuring Safety as Riding Pants with Protector Equipment
Despite their simple appearance, they fully cover the essential functions of riding pants.

CE Level 1 soft type protectors are standard equipment on the knees. The position can be adjusted within the inner pocket, making it easy to align with your riding posture.
Foam pads are equipped on both sides of the waist, and they are compatible with an upgrade to optional Stealth CE Hip Protectors. Additionally, reflective material is placed on the back of the hem for improved visibility during night riding.
