Evofiber – Takes the best attributes of mesh and microfiber, and fuses them into a single fabric that repels water and improves breathability throughout the shoe. By eliminating the extra seams and adhesives required to insert mesh panels, the durability, comfort and weight of Giro’s shoes can all be dramatically improved. Evofiber also holds shape exceptionally well, and is fast drying and easy to clean.
