Women's Specific Pads

All of our padded tights feature a chamois pad created specifically for women. Our pads are size-specific, meaning their size varies in accordance with the size of the tights. For complete comfort on any surface, we vary the foam thickness and density for just the right amount of sit bone support.

Visibility

All our tights feature reflective or hi-vis details as standard, helping you to stay seen in low light conditions. Whether it's a reflective logo or a contrast panel, these illuminating elements will ensure you stand out against the surrounding dark.

No Underwear

All of our padded tights are designed to be worn without underwear, and feature women’s specific chamois pads that are pre-moulded and seamless to avoid irritation with a sweat-wicking, pH neutral topsheet for complete comfort – no underwear required.

By women, for women

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

Training and Racing

As the old adage goes, summer races are won in the winter. Pros often have no choice but to ride through the seasons, and tights are their go-to garment for warding off the worst of the weather. Our Pro Team tights and winter bibs are made with lightweight, technical fabrics for efficient sweat wicking and breathability, with anatomical panel construction for a locked-in fit. And every pair is built around a tailor-made performance chamois pad.

PRO TEAM CHAMOIS PAD

The Pro Team collection includes three chamois pads purpose-built with multiple layers of lightweight, quick-drying foam for elite competition, racing and training.

Pro Team Tights

ALL-ROUND ROAD RIDING

If cooler months are the hardest time to ride, they’re also the most rewarding. Cold, crisp starts into low sun are worth getting out for, and there’s no better time of year for a long, drawn-out coffee stop. For everything from all-day epics to club runs and quick commutes, our road-specific tights and ¾ shorts feature highly technical but slightly less compressive fabrics for a more relaxed, all-round riding fit.

CLASSIC CHAMOIS PAD

Our Classic chamois – featured in the Classic and Core Bib Tights – is designed for all-day, everyday comfort, while the Brevet chamois features additional support for long-distance rides.

On off-road adventures and multi-day trips, durability and storage space are paramount.

Ride on through the seasons with tights built to handle the conditions.

BREVET CHAMOIS PAD

For comfort on long rides and mixed terrain, our Cargo Bib Tights feature the Brevet chamois pad with high-density foam for optimal support and perforations for rapid drying overnight.

MTB

There’s no off season when you’re riding dirt. In fact, winter is often when you’ll find the trails at their quietest (and hardest). Cut for freedom of movement on the bike and constructed with highly technical yet hard-wearing materials that won’t rip if you come off it, our trail pants balance lightweight breathability with long-lasting durability.
