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.

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 Best shorts I have worn in my 56 years. Comfortable. Finally - shorts with Zipped pockets to stop changing falling out when sitting down etc. Stretchy. Smart and yet casual. Quick drying. Good on the bike for a casual ride. Great colours. Wear them long rolled down. Wear them shorter rolled up. Hardwearing. Got about 5 or 6 in different colours and I live in them as a homeworker from April until October. Simply fantastic. At my age I probably won't wear any others shorts until I am 6ft under.

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 My favourite shorts I love these shorts, I've bought 3 pairs now. I use them for everything from bike commuting to hiking to general casual wear. My oldest are 3 years old, they look a little scruffy now, but are still in regular use. I like that the material is breathable and quite thin so I never overheat in them. I really hope that these aren't removed from the product range for several years! I was worried that the fit had changed from a couple of years ago, but I ordered the same size as previously and they seem to fit exactly the same to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stoked on these shorts! I am 6'4" and weigh 185 lbs. My waist is typically a 33 or 34 but I purchased the 32 in the Randonnee shorts based on reviews. They fit perfectly snug so that I do not have to wear a belt while riding but allow enough room to wear a chamois underneath for longer gravel rides. The shorts are long enough that a chamois underneath does not show unless you roll bottom hem. The legs are slim fitting for style but are not restrictive while moving. Also, the green color is great! Will wear on and off the bike.

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 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 Stylish in the baggys! For those not into the whole lycra thing, these are awesome. I wear them over the top of my Core Shorts and they really tick the box. Highly recommend.

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.

you have two tabs for the Randonnee shorts, one suggests ordering one size down from your size, the other doesn't. Is that right? are the two shorts differently sized?
