Description

The ultimate casual riding shorts

These slim-fitting shorts are made from a lightweight, breathable fabric for city riding in hot and humid conditions. The fabric is quick drying, has excellent stretch – to move with pedalling legs – and is crease resistant, making the shorts ideal for travelling.

Based on our popular men’s Randonnée Shorts, these shorts feature female-specific tailoring and a high-cut back to ensure a great fit when riding. In addition to two zipped side pockets, the back has one zipped pocket and one button-down pocket to carry belongings. A hi-vis interior trim can be folded out to keep you seen or hidden away when not riding. Offset inseams guarantee comfort in the saddle.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great shorts, truly appalling customer service The shorts- finally- are lovely. But the first pair I received were appallingly made and should never have been sent to a customer. Then Rapha don't acknowledge receipt of returns so I waited and waited for an exchange. Eventually I chased and more information kept being demanded before anyone could tell me what was happening, despite me supplying order number and my details. Who knew Rapha want you to keep a record of the number on the postage label you print off the internet, or that this is different to the returns number they give you? They certainly don't tell you that with their returns instructions. I eventually got a replacement pair of shorts and they are great, perfect for more casual riding, but I'm not sure I will ever bring myself to deal with Rapha's appalling customer service again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I want to live in these shorts! Bought them just a few weeks ago but they’re my go to commuting and weekend shorts. Perfect for when it’s too hot to bike to work in pants but I don’t feel like putting bibs on. Material is super stretchy and all the pockets are very functional. Doesn’t ride up on my legs at all which is great. 5’2”, 130lb and size small fits great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Pockets are pretty worthless but otherwise good Overall these are good shorts for casual rides. They fit nicely, have a little bit of stretch and are high waisted. My main complaint are the pockets--they aren't designed with cycling in mind. I cannot put anything larger than keys in the front pockets, as they are not long enough. Even a single credit card sits right where I bend my leg, and so is not comfortable on the bike. No way you could get a phone in these pockets and still be able to bend your leg. If the pockets were deeper, this wouldn't be as much of an issue--as then your belongings could sit lower on your leg and not in your leg crease. The back pockets are better--they are high on your body and have secure closures. However, they aren't large enough for a mobile phone. I have an iPhone 8 (regular size, not the plus) and I cannot close the pocket with my phone in it. Basically, this means I have to carry another bag if I want to bring my phone with me on a ride, or wear a cycling jersey. Since the whole point of these shorts is to have non-lyrca options, I was very disappointed about the pocket situation. If I have to put a jersey on, I might as well go full lyrca. Please make the pockets larger!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable Very comfortable shorts for casual wear and riding. The zippered pockets keep cards and things safely stowed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Everything Shorts These are by FAR my favorite pairs of shorts. I have 3 pair (black, green, & blue). The fit is comfortable whether on or off the bike. The material is nice and breathable enough, and just stretchy enough. I like the versatility in being able to roll them up or leave them down if it gets a little bit chilly. I also don't think I've found any other pair of shorts with this kind of attention to detail (there are even little vent holes in the pockets if you leave them unzipped for extra breathability). [For Reference, I'm 5'2", 130 lbs, wear a size S/28 and live in the PNW]

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality, perfect length I bought these to wear over my cycle shorts when we are touring the Netherlands and I didn’t want to walk around in my cycle shorts. They are a perfect length for me as I don’t like shorts that are too short!

do the randonee shorts have padding in them?

Asked by: Lucy read
The Randonee shorts do not come with a chamois or any padding, allowing them to be worn as a casual short off of the bike, or on the bike in conjunction with a liner short of your choice.
