Cycling shorts

No, absolutely not. Cycling shorts are designed so that the chamois is worn directly against the skin. Underwear – especially cotton – creates creases and acts as a friction enhancer. This inevitably leads to chafing, irritation, and pressure points. Our flat seams and the antibacterial surfaces of our chamois ensure maximum hygiene and comfort.

The main difference lies in the seat pad and the cut . The women's pad is wider in the sit bone area and generally shorter in the front. The cut of the shorts themselves takes the female anatomy into account, especially in the hip area. Our Ryzon bib shorts also incorporate women-specific solutions for bathroom breaks.

To ensure the functionality and longevity of the high-tech fibers, wash the pants separately at a maximum of 30°C (gentle cycle). Absolutely avoid fabric softener , as this will damage the elastic fibers and impair the functionality of the chamois. Ideally, use a special technical detergent and allow the pants to air dry.

For long distances, we recommend our Signature Cycling Bib Shorts Women. with our densest and best-cushioned seat pad. The straps ensure that the pad stays in place . The compression properties of the shorts provide support. Muscles and delay signs of fatigue.

Cycling shorts must fit very snugly to fulfill their function – they should feel like a second skin without being uncomfortably constricting. Crucially, the fabric must lie flat and not wrinkle. If the shorts are too loose, the fabric will chafe and the chamois won't be able to provide its cushioning effect.

Bib shorts offer a crucial performance advantage: they prevent the waistband and, more importantly, the chamois from slipping, even during intense activity. This is especially beneficial for sporty rides and long distances. Shorts with a waistband, on the other hand, offer simpler comfort for shorter rides and bathroom breaks.
