Women's Shorts and Tights Guide
Any cyclist will tell you that comfortable cycling shorts or tights are key to a comfortable ride; they may also insist on bib straps. In this guide we explain why ‘bibs’ are an option not an obligation.
27 April 2019
Every pair of shorts and tights in our collection is designed to meet the needs of a different type of rider. Those without bib straps provide a little more flexibility: they’re easier to take on and off and popular with a range of women, from new starters to experienced riders.
Bib straps or not, all of our shorts and tights are made for comfort and share three features in common.
