SOUKE Choices
— Balance nature and comfort —
Nature and comfort are our constant sources of inspiration here at Souke. And this extends to our material choices. We have tried using natural fabrics like cotton and linen, but this leads to poor comfort. Failing this, we draw on ideas from nature to create synthetic materials to provide a specific solution to a unique challenge. Our material mixes are selected through trial and error in-house, and materials are developed by the best suppliers in the industry.
At Souke, it’s not just about creating products that live up to your expectations. It’s also about developing materials that stand up to the rigors of daily life while reducing our impact on the environment as much as possible without compromising comfort.

Supporting Materials
— The everyday heroes —
Cycling Shorts/Pants Chamois
ERGONOMIC 4D PAD: Compact, seamless chamois with multi-density foam padding provides comfort and durability. Meanwhile, the pad is perforated for airflow and ventilation in the saddle area, making it lightweight, and breathable, and helping to prevent saddle sores.
After tests, we have determined the thickness and density of memory foam are most suitable for cycling. The memory foam is better in air permeability than silicone, increasing the wearer’s comfort. Memory foam pads are soft, not easy to deform and support the hips evenly.
Padded Bike Shorts are ideal for cycling, mountain biking, road biking, spinning, indoor cycling and so on.
