New Women's Chamois

The key to comfortable riding is a pair of quality bib shorts, but not a pair designed for somebody else. All of our women’s bib shorts are designed for women, tested by women, and include a women’s specific chamois pad.

Every ride starts with a good pair of bib shorts. Whatever kind of riding you do, from mud-spattered cross races to weekend club rides, our bib shorts are a cut above the competition.

We’re always looking ahead. Whether it’s one week, six months or two years, there’s always something big up the road. All the planning, fabric swatches, sketches and designs slowly become reality. Now it’s time to share.

Cycling’s meditative qualities are much vaunted but these claims are more than just hearsay. Here’s the science behind clearing your mind on the bike.

Whether you have been riding for decades or you are just clipping in, the journey to becoming a cyclist always includes the same rites of passage.
