Rapha nailed this one!I used to be a dedicated Rapha guy. Then, things took a turn. Extreme styling. Extreme fits. Extreme change. Not for me. BUT… these Explore shorts are perfect. Classic look. Classic all-around fit. Classic Rapha. I bought the gray than the purple. I’m 72. 145 pounds. 32-33 waist. Size medium is perfect. You won’t go wrong.
Hi i am asking for guidance on sizes, i usually wear 29-30inch for my measurements is as such
Chest 91cm
Waist: 91.5
Hip: 94.5
what will my size be? also whats the difference between this and the active shorts?
Asked by: Hanroll98
A 29-30inch waist would equate to a size small.
Our Active Shorts are versatile multi-sport training shorts, whereas our Explore Shorts are designed for adventure riding, although they are also quite versatile and can be used for off-bike activities.

I’m in between size on sizing guide you provided in previous question with 29in waist. Would xs work? What is the inseam for xs and s?
Asked by: Shortmtb
We would normally recommend sizing up with these as the waist can be brought in with the integrated belt in required, although there is also some stretch thanks to the elasticated waist.
The inseam for a XS is 22.8cm and the S is 23.3cm.

There is a bib inside?
Asked by: Lbrunel06
No padded liner is included with the Explore shorts, however the Trail Liner is available separately and would pair with these.

Is there a size guide for these? I don't see a link on the page like I do for other shorts.

Hello, thank you for pointing this out.
We have asked our web team to get the size guide added to this page.
