CYCLING SHORTS FOR WOMEN – A SECURE FIT IN THE SADDLE

With high-quality cycling shorts for women, you can sit securely and comfortably in the saddle – without pinching, biting or twisting. Even unpleasant chafing can be avoided or at least minimised with well-designed special underwear. That's why frequent cyclists are always advised to wear women's cycling shorts with padding instead of relying on standard everyday underwear. At Gonso, the fit specialists, you'll find breathable cycling shorts with padding for carefree cycling pleasure.

JUST WEAR NORMAL UNDERWEAR? PROBABLY NOT!

Newcomers to cycling often assume that they can simply wear their regular underwear when cycling. However, anyone who regularly commutes by bike, goes on tours or does sports such as mountain biking or road cycling knows that this becomes uncomfortable in the long run! Normal underwear is usually designed to be comfortable when walking and sitting – but not for cycling performance.

That's why women's cycling shorts usually have several advantages that come from the way they are made:

• High breathability
• Low weight
• Close fit
• Flat seams
• Comfortable material
• Seat padding
• Freedom of movement

All these elements are designed to make sitting on a narrow saddle for long periods as comfortable as possible. And they are designed to ensure that your legs retain their full freedom of movement. Many models also feature elements such as straps or rubberised leg cuffs to prevent the underwear from slipping. Because that would be extremely uncomfortable in the middle of a race, on a mountain bike trail or simply in traffic.

Breathability

Moisture in the crotch or between the thighs can be uncomfortable when cycling. That's why Gonso uses lightweight, open-pored fabric to manufacture its cycling underwear, which transports heat and moisture to the outside. With the right cycling shorts over the top, you'll stay comfortably dry and at the right temperature.

Weight

Depending on the type of cycling you do, every extra gram on your bike can make a difference. That's why Gonso only uses lightweight fabrics for its trousers and underwear. You can hardly feel them on your skin and they don't hinder you when you're pedalling hard.

Fit

Cycling underwear for women should fit securely and snugly without being too tight. Clothing that is too loose can easily slip and bunch up when you move, which can cause uncomfortable chafing. Therefore, choose your women's cycling underwear carefully according to size and fit.

Seams

Finely crafted seams ensure that the seams do not cause chafing. You can rely on Gonso's high-quality manufacturing. We know how to create seams that are barely noticeable and practically imperceptible when you move.

Comfortable material

The material of your cycling underwear should not only be breathable and lightweight, but also feel good against the skin. Gonso's finely woven, open-pored fabrics guarantee a pleasant feel against the skin and a perfect fit.

Seat padding

Women's cycling shorts should be padded to support long periods of sitting on a narrow saddle, regardless of your position. Of course, the padding must also remain breathable, which we can guarantee at Gonso with our carefully selected filling materials.

Freedom of movement

Stretchability is just as important for cycling underwear as it is for the cycling shorts worn over it. This is because clothing that is not very elastic can hinder you when cycling or cause uncomfortable pressure when you move. Our cycling shorts avoid this with high-quality multi-way stretch material.

Technologies for great riding pleasure

At Gonso, women's cycling shorts are padded and perfectly tailored to your fit. In addition, we use numerous technologies to ensure that our shorts get the most out of your performance while being incredibly comfortable to wear:

• Skincomfort material – breathable, open-pored material for maximum skin friendliness
• Silverplus® – Material infused with silver ions that inhibits the formation of odour-causing bacteria
• Non-slip leg cuffs – Silicone cuffs ensure that the cycling shorts do not slip up your legs
• High-tech padding – Seat padding with foam and reinforcements tailored precisely to your sitting position

THE PERFECT FIT FOR PADDED WOMEN'S CYCLING SHORTS

More than any other item of clothing designed for physical activity, underwear should fit perfectly. This prevents chafing and slipping. That's why Gonso offers eleven different sizes of women's cycling shorts, so you can enjoy a perfectly tailored fit every time. Cycling shorts should fit snugly and comfortably – not so tight that they pinch, but not so loose that they slip around easily.

Gonso deliberately avoids vague sizes such as ‘M’ and ‘XL’ and instead uses much more precise clothing sizes. This allows you to estimate much more accurately how well your cycling underwear will fit. Use our size charts to find the perfect fit for you.

SUBTLE LOOK THAT DOESN'T SHOW

When it comes to cycling shorts, the look is obviously not that important, as they are worn under normal trousers. But even here, we make sure that your outfit doesn't look messy. That's why all Gonso cycling shorts are in a subtle black colour that is barely visible even under thin cycling shorts. The shorts fit perfectly into any outfit.

What's more, they are designed to be close-fitting and hardly show at all. This means that your cycling shorts won't bulge even when worn under tight-fitting trousers and will blend in perfectly with the look of your outfit.
