Consult the Rapha Women's Sizing chart provided. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare these measurements to the chart to find the most accurate size.

The shorts use the same high-spec chamois pad found in the Women's Classic Shorts, providing excellent cushioning and support for extended periods in the saddle.

The laser-cut soft-silicone leg grippers are designed for a secure, comfortable fit without pinching or bunching. They are engineered to stay in place smoothly.

Yes, machine wash on a cool, delicate cycle (30°C or 86°F) with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powders.

Yes, the high-spec chamois pad and comfortable construction make them well-suited for long-distance rides, providing necessary support and reducing fatigue.

The main fabric is a dense-knit nylon. It provides modesty, an even distribution of stretch for a comfortable fit, and durability.

Refer to the Rapha Women's Sizing chart and compare your measurements (Chest, Waist, Hips) to find the correct size. Consider if the issue is specific to one measurement area.

Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully and evenly. The silicone grippers should sit flat against the skin. If irritation persists, try a different size or ensure the skin underneath is dry.

Ensure the shorts are worn correctly with the chamois pad positioned properly against the body. Break-in periods may be required for the pad to conform to your body shape. Ensure proper hygiene and saddle adjustment.

Check that the flatlock seams are positioned correctly and not rubbing against sensitive areas. Some adjustment in riding position or ensuring the garment is fully settled may help. For persistent issues, consult the sizing chart for a potentially better fit.
