NOT IF BUT WHICH?
A good pair of shorts is an indispensable part of a cyclist’s armoury; but changing conditions and different rides make different demands. We produce a range of shorts – both with bibs and without – to add pleasure and performance to your ride, whether that be a long, mountainous day in the saddle, a backwoods gravel epic or simply a city cruise to meet friends.
Here are some things to consider when choosing your shorts – and a selection of styles that might be right for you.
-
Chamois Pads
A chamois pad cushions your contact points with the saddle, increasing comfort and reducing chafing. Across our range we use the highest-quality chamois pads from top Italian suppliers. They are size-specific for a good fit, quick-drying and tailored in construction and weight for specific demands. Our overshorts, however, are designed to be worn on short rides on top of shorts with a chamois.
-
Fabrics and grippers
All our shorts feature high-end fabrics sourced from the world’s best mills, many using recycled or biodegradable yarns. With supportive and four-way stretch properties, some are highly compressive, while others are designed for all-day comfort. Many of our shorts feature grippers woven into the material, while others have silicone bands that grip the leg: both will keep your shorts comfortably in place.
-
Storage
Sometimes you want to travel fast and light, and sometimes some stow space comes in handy – particularly if you’re bikepacking or on a multi-day trip. We have versatile shorts for all situations.
-
Bibs or Shorts?
Many people find bibs more comfortable, but a pair of bib-less shorts can be more versatile. It comes down to personal choice – which is why we make both.
