How to choose your perfect pair
Leg length: Choose the coverage that suits your ride:
- Short: light and airy for warm days.
- 3/4: sits just below the knee—ideal for shoulder seasons.
- Capri: mid‑calf coverage for extra sun and splash protection.
- Long: extended thigh length if you prefer more coverage.
Pocket needs: If you carry phone + snacks, choose our dual‑pocket styles.
Season: For cooler mornings, 3/4 or capri add warmth; switch to Thermal Cycling Tights in winter.
Tip: Between sizes? Choose the larger for comfort—fabric should feel snug, not tight.
Should you wear underwear with cycling shorts?
Short answer: no. Your chamois (like our Elastic Interface® pads) works best directly against skin to reduce chafe and moisture.
Why padded cycling pants matter
Chamois (updated): Our new women’s Elastic Interface® chamois is thinner and less bulky while still delivering maximum protection and pressure relief, comfortable for quick spins and all‑day rides.
