Don't forget these details...
All of our padded shorts feature a chamois pad created specifically for women. Our pads are size-specific, meaning their size varies in accordance with the size of the short. For complete comfort on any surface, we vary the foam thickness and density for just the right amount of sit bone support.
All of our padded shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. All of our women’s specific chamois pads are pre-moulded and seamless to avoid irritation with a sweat-wicking, pH neutral topsheet for complete comfort. No underwear needed.
At Rapha, we are riders ourselves so we understand the confidence the right pair of tights can give you. Every part of our women’s legwear, from leg grippers to shoulder straps and chamois pads, is worked on by female designers and optimised specifically for female riders
Both bib shorts with shoulder straps and regular shorts without straps provide consistent comfort on any ride. Which you opt for comes down to personal preference. To give you the choice, our range includes multiple options with and without straps, so you can choose what works best for you.
