Description

These shorts have been designed to withstand day in, day out riding. With a fit based on our popular Randonnée short, they’re comfortable, durable and carefully designed with a host of commuter considered features.

An elasticated waist with a high-rise at the back ensures a secure and comfortable fit as well as excellent coverage when you’re on the bike. The integrated belt with magnetic snap closure allows easy fine-tuning of the fit. A zipped pocket keeps small valuables safe and reflective tape on the sides of each legs adds extra visibility on the road. Unlike the Randonnée short, these have cut slightly shorter for easy, unintrusive pedalling.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Poor design and sizing I’ve bought lots of Rapha products and this is the only product I’ve been really disappointed with. The sizing is too large as has been mentioned. The waist is fixed so it’s difficult to stretch over your thighs. The elastic on the waist is too stretchy, which means it isn’t strong enough to hold you shorts up. This is exasperated with only having one zip pocket. This means having my phone and wallet on one side, weighs the shorts down.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from a compromise ok. well i didn’t really want these shorts but bought as an alternative to the now defunct tourer short. which i used every day for riding to work and my longer rides when possible as just wearing the lycra is not an option. i have had 2 pairs of tourer shorts and they have lasted years. the fit was excellent and the style perfect for my requirements. so onto the commuter short. i bought a 32 because i am a 32 but find them a bit balloony. my first issue is the belt. like the magnet on the closure but because it is fixed when you tighten them the buckle ends up half way towards your right hip. the legs are slightly shorter and they rustle like a bag of leaves. the pockets are good but what’s the point of one zip? and the elastic rear and lack of opening and fly makes my feel like i am wearing my Grandads pants and you have to yank them down when you need a toilet break. i do feel that have sacrificed a lot on quality and practicality with these shorts.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Rapha Commuter Shorts 32. Great do it all shorts. Commuter Shorts 32 waist. Unlike most Rapha products the shorts come up quite large for their size, they would easily fit 34 waist, so id suggest go down a size. Good quality and i like the stretch fabric which has a nice handle and is of a mid weight. The pockets are useful, the right one having a zip closure. They have nice reflective stripes from waist down the legs. I have used them for commuting, road riding and off road. *The only negative point is the belt fastener is only at the front so it is difficult to pull them tight around the waist as there is so much stretch in the material. Otherwise recommended :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Commuter Shorts Got these shorts recently and I’m really impressed with them. I went with a size 28 waist which fits true to size, the elasticated waisr allows for some stretch and the built in belt keeps the shorts in place on and off the bike. The zip pocket is perfect for smaller essentials, phone, keys, wallet etc. Really happy with my purchase and might return for a navy pair in the future. One minor grip is that there are only two colours to chose from, a khaki or green colour in these would be great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great commuting shorts Just started using these shorts last week for my everyday commute and early thoughts are they are a nice bit of kit. They have an elasticated waistband and built in belt with magnetic fastener that works well. They have a thin dark reflective strip down the side of each leg which looks good. The strip continues on the inside so the shorts are designed to turn the hem up once if you want then slightly shorter. They are quite a thin material so are great for summer over normal cycling shorts, and could be worn over warmer bibs in colder weather. As mentioned in other reviews you will need to go one size down, I am a 32” waist and bought the 30” which fit well. Have cycled in rain which they handled well, cannot comment on durability yet. All in all I’m very happy with my purchase

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Shorts Top quality, cool looking, comfortable shorts. Recommend you size down. Would have given 5/5 if the waist had a silicone gripper, as the shorts do tend to slip down when out of the saddle if worn over bib shorts.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Be ware of giant reflective line along both sides. I loved the original Commuter long pants because of how it functions perfectly while cycling, but also looks clean and presentable in working environments. I expected the same for Commuter Shorts but was unfortunately surprised by the giant reflective lining along the left and right sides of the shorts. This may be functional during riding, but makes it look obvious that it's a sports oriented clothing, which makes it less suitable for wearing in working environments. It's not a big deal, but it's weird how Rapha hides this little detail on their website which I feel is a very poor decision in terms of photography.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic casual cycling shorts I had been looking for a pair of cycling specific casual shorts for a while when I stumbled across the Rapha Commuter shorts in their sale. The sizing was surprising, I’m a 30-32” waist so expecting a snug fit opted for the 32” but they’re actually quite generous. No need to size up, but they’re very comfortable and allow for wearing bib shorts underneath for longer rides. Pockets are adequate one regular and one zip pocket is plenty for phone & keys. The styling is very subtle and the material feels good with enough give where needed and without looking cheap or sporty. The magnetic buckle is amazing, something I’d like to see more of. Longevity remains to be seen obviously, but having ridden in them quite regularly already either around town or on slightly longer rides where I didn’t want that MAMIL look they’ve held up really well. I now want to pair some equally casual yet cycle friendly tops to go with them!

I'm a 31 inch waist. Should I be going with a 30 or 32 waist for these shorts?

Asked by: Dave in YVR
We would recommend size 30 for you as they have a degree of elasticity. As always we have a free returns policy should you need to return the item to us.

How well would these work for mountain biking? Basically how resistant is the fabric to pulls and snags?

Asked by: H ugh
The Commuter Shorts are designed with a lightweight nylon fabric that I think would not be suited toward mountain biking. I think you will need shorts made from a thicker fabric.
