More Comfy than Cute
I tried these on and was very disappointed with the cut. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wear Rapha to feel cool but these shorts were cut longer and wider than I expected so I felt like middler school boy from the late 90s. Waaaay too baggy and long. The length I can work around but the width really surprised me. And I don't have dainty thighs! Note that I haven't been on a ride with these pants, but given the fit I have high hopes they'll work great. I was just hoping to look great too.

Comfortable
Very comfortable shorts for casual wear and riding. The zippered pockets keep cards and things safely stowed.

Randonne Shorts
I had to send back because of sizing. Rapha sizes are all over the place, why sizing can't be consistent I don't know. I bought a small and it was miles to big. Quality of material seems fine, but I've not been able to test them as yet, waiting for the correct size to arrive. The small is 28, baggy on me, yet the same size in the jeans is tight.

Perfect MTB and gravel shorts
Perfect MTB and gravel riding shorts, stretchy and beautifully made. Fit runs slightly large I felt.. also the waist is gaping whilst thigh fits great so will have to take in the waistband… shame they aren’t made a little more for the athletic leg / waist ratio!

Material is great for casual riding
Good style and great material for casual riding. The shorts fit me everywhere except the waist was too large- I had it tailored to have an elastic waistband at the back section to eliminate the gap.

Runs a fair bit on the large size
Well I’m a size XS according to the size chart but bought the Size XXS based on experience. Even the Size XXS is super baggy but still wearable. Flattery sizing gone mad!

So happy I got them.
Very good quality as usual. Be careful about sizing. I am 25 size in jeans and these short in XXS fits me perfectly.

Great short.
Been eyeing these for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. Beautifully constructed in the standard Rapha fashion. Pockets are zippered for extra security, and has a comfortable fit on the thigh (got strong legs). The lining is so fun to look at. You'll see it when you order them! Haven't had a chance to test them on the bike yet (it's winter), but I'm not expecting any surprises, as everything Rapha I have performs wonderfully.

Not Stoked.
They are cute, but I thought they would be looser than they are. For the amount of little stretch they have, it won't be comfortable to ride around all day in them, especially with the lack of looseness around the crotch. I have been debating whether to return them. I can find this level of tight short with a little stretch elsewhere for way cheaper, but it's a hassle to send them back. Not impressed.

Randonnee shorts
The shorts fit well and are comfortable when riding long gravel routes. the cons are the button on the waist band is hard to get open when wearing full fingered gloves, a different sort of glove friendly clip would be better. The pockets are useless when riding for anything other than a tissue or mask. A better range of colours would be good, for example navy blue so it matches the jersey

Shorts for the sunny days
I bought this pair of shorts to try a new style after buying the amazing "short" Rapha shorts a few years ago.
I bought them in Small, my usual Rapha size.
These are fitting and comfortable, maybe a little too tight, depending of what you ate that day :)
Love the color and the possibility to roll it up a bit if that's your style.
Great to hang around town on a sunny day !

Cool shorts, same as the men’s.
I bought these shorts for my wife because I really like my two pairs of the men’s version. Comfortable and cool for wearing on and off the bike. A rather pleasing range of colours too.
She hasn’t had the opportunity to wear them yet but says she loves the colour!
I have reviewed the men’s version and expect to make the same comments about the women’s.

Best shorts ever!
I bought these shorts in the plum/purple color in the sale and they are fantastic. Tailored and smart enough for casual wear, and the stretch fabric makes them so comfortable both on and off the bike.
The size probably runs a bit large, I wear medium in bib shorts, bought a small in these. I like them so much I bought a second pair in dark grey.

Here short
Both this for my wife and she was very happy with this comfortable shorts - looks great and fit very well. The short is long enough and you have the possibility to shorten this Randonnee short which looks very nice with the pink detail. The quality is very good as she has used/washed it already a couple of times since she has received it.

At last, shorts for women!
This new line of shorts is fabulous. I sent an email to Rapha 6 months ago pleading for womens shorts to be created. Well, my requests were met!! More specifically, for shorts that have womens' shaping and a bit of stretch. Definitely comfortable that added stretch and light weight fabric. Very happy with my navy blue pair.

Smart casual.
Great fit, super zipped front pockets. Beautiful detailing touches, but without being austentatious. Smart enough that you could wear to the office for dress down days (or other days if your office isn't too formal). Look like suit shorts, but are stretchy enough for proper riding. Amazing, have become my go to pair.

My second pair
I bought a second pair because the first are so comfortable. Yes, a little on the expensive side for a pair of shorts but I feel they will last a long time as they are very well made. They wash well and are a good length for an older person like me but also stylish (an incentive to stay the same size as my shorts).

Comfortable but baggy fit
These shorts are super comfortable but do fit much looser than I expected in the legs and bum. I was tempted to return and get a smaller size but I think the waist might be too tight if so. I am 5'5 130lbs and usually wear a size small in all of Rapha's cycling shorts and ordered size small in these as well.

Well designed, good fit
I have worn these shorts only a few times (waiting for weather to warm up) and they are a perfect fit, very comfortable, practical and look neat. Great pockets front and back. I think they'll be a bit sweaty due to synthetic fabric but also hard wearing and fast drying. I haven't washed them yet.

Comfy Randonnee
I love how these shorts fit. They are super comfortable with deep pockets. I can wear them when I bikepack or just casual commute. The material is soft, semi water resistant and they do not sqeak line some fabrics do. I have long legs but would have loved if they were a few inches shorter.

Everyday shorts with style
Lovely pair of shorts. Fits well, beautiful material remains crease free, good amount of pockets and security for those credit cards, the length is good and I also have the option to roll up for shorter length. Very stylish and comfortable pair of shorts.

Essential staple
Great colour and fit. Just wish Rapha would have more women's cycling clothes that don't try to make you look like you are pretending to be a professional cyclist. I want cycling clothes to be smart but not overtly sporty. HATE lycra so these are perfect!

Perfect pair of shorts
Fell in love in with these shorts straight away! They fit perfectly, not too tight at thighs, long enough at waist and back. And all those amazing little details. Looking forward the summer to come to wear these on the adventures.

Excellent shorts
Great shorts, good fit, works both on and off the bike. I have two pairs, please don’t stop making them! Love to have a pair in petrol! Not so sure they need two buttons, but it works. Could use a pocket that fit an Iphone too.

Great multi-use shorts
Have bought several pairs of these and love them for off the bike, everyday use as well as travel . The stretch component makes them suitable for short bike commutes and they launder easily for travel .

Nice colour and material great features
Great looking shorts brought XXS but still feel could go smaller, abit baggy on the bum and not tight on legs even when rolled up. Maybe I just have skinny legs!

Good fit, nice colour
I bought these as I don't really like lycra. They have some stretch, are comfortable & look classier than lycra. ( I don't race, more of a relaxed cyclist )
