Types of Shorts

Variants and Practical Tips

The women's cycling shorts come in versions adapted to each practice. Test the cuts and the density of the chamois pad according to the duration of your rides.

Materials and Technologies

• Elastic and breathable fabrics to wick away moisture.
• Compression panels to support the muscles.
• Flat straps and silicone bands to hold without chafing.

• Mountain biking: look for durability and freedom of movement.
• Versatility: opt for a mid-season model if you practice multiple disciplines.

Sizes and Fitting

The shorts should fit snugly without being tight. Check the size guide. Do not leave space between the pad and your body to avoid chafing.

Care for Longevity

• Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener.
• Air dry, do not tumble dry.
• Rinse immediately after a salty or muddy ride.

Eco-friendly: Is It Worth It?

Where to Compare and What to Look For
