Abstract: A seat element for being inserted into a pair of cycling pants comprises a seat pad (10) for padding a seat surface in the bottom region. Further, the seat element comprises a bowl-shaped protective element (12) for the protection of the male genital region. The protective element (12) is connected with the seat pad (10). In the middle portion of the seat element, i.e., following the protective element (12), a vein protection channel (24) is provided. Because of the vein protection channel (24), a constriction of the vein extending in that region is avoided. Thereby, a circulation of blood to the male genitals will even be ensured if one sits on a cycle saddle for a long time.

Abstract: A garment of a stretch fabric knit in a fine-meshed manner, particularly a pair of cycling pants, comprises a front part (10) and a rear part (12). The front part (10) and the rear part (12) are knit simultaneously. Along at least one connecting edge (14,18), the front part is knit together with the rear part in a seamless manner. Thus, a seamless garment is manufactured. Since the garment does not have any bead-like seams, the occurrence of pressure marks and chafes caused by the seams is avoided.
