Description

The Women’s Classic Shorts are a wardrobe staple, achieving a secure, comfortable fit without the extra bulk of bib straps. Still soft against the skin and sweat-wicking for comfort in a range of conditions, this updated version is made using recycled fibres for a lower environmental impact. The construction of the high waistband has been updated with a new mesh fabric that disperses pressure to ensure the shorts never dig in at the waist. In a snug, secure fit, the shorts are kept in place with a wider, soft gripper tape that sits close to the body without compression. These shorts are 25mm shorter than the Regular version, giving riders the choice of leg lengths. Designed specifically for women, the dual-density, size-specific chamois pad features multiple foam layers and an antibacterial top sheet for comfort on even the longest rides. Style elements include branded flag labels on the back and printed Rapha logos on the side panels, with the addition of reflective piping for improved visibility.

How this was made

Classic Shorts are now made using recycled nylon. Using recycled nylon allows us to create a product with exceptional performance and durability whilst reducing our environmental impact. Learn more about sustainability at Rapha, including how we’re working to develop our products more responsibly.

Rated 2 out of 5 by jw5280 from Stiff and long in length I've ordered Rapha products for many years and have always been happy with the quality. These shorts were expensive but I wanted to give them a shot, as I was so in love with my old Rapha gray "shorter" shorts they made a couple years ago that literally feel like butter. These shorts, in contrast, are really long shorts. I'm 5'5", 115lbs, and they reach the top of my knees. The fabric is EXTREMELY stiff, as is the pad. I waddle when I walk in these. These aren't soft and clearly made of cheap fabric. I've worn them now 10 times or so thinking they'd stretch or soften. No luck. Disappointing for the price.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great disappointment! I just wanted to register my disappointment with the new women’s Classic Shorts Short and make a plea for the return of the ones I bought last year. They were so soft and lovely to wear, they felt like a second skin so I bought a second pair this year and found the new design to be stiff and quite uncomfortable to wear especially the wide rubber bands on the legs. Sorry i won’t be buying these again! Please bring back the others,

Rated 2 out of 5 by All bikes are good from Please go back to previous version A sad disappointment compared to the 2020 version of these shorts - the new chamois is strangely bulky and the grippers/chamois combined with a more relaxed fabric make my legs have less than attractive bulges on the inside above the grippers and up to the chamois in the XS size.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from DIFFERENT STYLE The one piece I said I wanted an exchange and all they did was refund my money. The short shorts have changed with way too big a cuff on bottom and no loops to hang the up like last year. Not a fan. They also fit differently

Rated 2 out of 5 by CG69 from Cuff too tight There is a cuff on the bottem of these shorts that is way too tight. Fit perfectly everywhere else. Size up was way too big. The cuff ruins the shorts. Think I will actually need to cut it off and hope they will be long enough
