Technical city cycling shorts for hot and humid conditions

These stylish, slim-fitting shorts are made from a lightweight, breathable fabric and are designed for city riding in hot and humid conditions. The fabric is quick drying, has excellent stretch and is also crease resistant, making the shorts ideal for travelling.

The shorts feature crisp tailoring, including a smart, flat front and fly closure, with a high-cut back to ensure a great fit when riding. In addition to two front pockets, the back of the shorts feature one zipped pocket and one button-down pocket. Visibility details include a fold away hi-vis tab and hi-vis trim inside the legs which can be hidden away when not riding. Offset inseams guarantee comfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fit:Form:Function Expensive - yeah, the randonnee shorts could wear that title, but to only define them that way would be very unfair. They are stylish riding shorts oozing practicality. Enough pockets to store most of your worldly possessions bar your bed if you choose to do so. Enough style to lord it up at hipster small bar of choice - although make sure it’s a proper ale in hand and not that sorry excuse for a beer - Corona, because that would definitely be a fashion faux pas with no possible road to redemption. And they work a treat on the bike as only shorts or over the bibs when heading off-piste. Recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Second pair I've bought, wearing them now. Does what it said. This is my second pair of the shorts, and I am wearing them now. Mighty comfortable, good to ride in. Last well, the old pair still fine - I just wanted to wear them more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fit and feel. This is my first Rapha purchase and I have to say I'm sold. These are my new favorite shorts. The fabric seems like it would repel water, but is still soft and comfortable. The length and fit are just right. Definitely buy them a size small. I'm normally a 34 and the 32 is a good fit. The one thing I'm slightly concerned about is the waist button. There are actually two buttons, but the main one seems to be made of a rubbery plastic and I'm hoping that the thread and button will hold up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Randonee Shorts Shorts come up large-I ordered a 32" waist and had to exchange them for a 30" waist! Quality and cut is excellent as you would expect from Rapha. The shorts look great and are very comfortable-I wear them over my cycling shorts to avoid the "last chicken in Sainsburys" look!! Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best casual shorts This is my 5th pair. ( different colours). The are simply comfortable, relatively hard wearing, great on and off the bike. I will say the change in size is really frustrating I’m a size 30 in early models and now a size 28 in this current model. I haven’t changed my weight in 15 years!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from lightweight and stylish everyday shorts Really worth to buy. These are lighweight and stylish everyday shorts for commuting, gravel etc. Enough (zip) pockets. Only downside for me that these are little bit on longer side, but I can just wrap it up and it looks also cooler in that way, hah.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great alternative to Lycra. Great fit. Slim, went a size down in black and they fit perfect. I’ve had another pair of these for a year and there bombproof. Still good as new. I like to wear shorts on my road bike. With bibs underneath. Very comfortable and the best shorts on the market in my opinion.

Are these shorts the replacement for the touring shorts? Also....the 36s in the old touring shorts were a bit tight and I had to go to the 38. Are you making the 36s a bit bigger?

Asked by: leugie
Hi, these shorts are not a replacement for the touring shorts and the sizing is not the same as the Touring shorts so do stick to your size. Should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.

Are these suitable for wearing over the top of bib shorts. I'm a size 32, but was thinking padded bib shorts could make these a tighter fit if worn over the top.

Asked by: Lewie15
Hi, these do have a slightly raised waist to allow to fit bib shorts underneath and should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.
