Product Information

Full details

The Dhb Women's Cycle Short is an essential garment for female cyclists ranging from casual tourists to competitive racers who prioritize comfort and performance during medium-duration rides. Crafted from premium Italian stretch fabric, these shorts feature the specialized Elastic Interface Veloce chamois, providing a lightweight and supple fit for up to three hours of continuous riding; however, riders planning full-day endurance expeditions may find the thinner pad less supportive than heavy-duty long-distance alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for long-distance endurance racing?

These shorts are designed for rides up to three hours. For longer endurance events, a thicker, specialized long-distance chamois may be more appropriate.

Do I need to wear underwear with these shorts?

No, cycling shorts are designed to be worn without underwear to prevent chafing and ensure the chamois stays in the correct position.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry these shorts to protect the silicone grippers and the technical stretch fabric from heat damage.

What is the primary material used?

These shorts are primarily made from high-quality stretch nylon, known for its durability and flexible fit.

Are the leg grippers tight?

The silicone grippers are designed to provide a secure hold without being overly tight, ensuring they stay in place without restricting circulation.

How do I ensure I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's size guide and measure your hips and waist to ensure an accurate fit for the UK size 18 variant.

Troubleshooting

Shorts riding up the leg during rides

Ensure the silicone grippers are clean and free of oils or lotions, which can prevent them from adhering properly to the skin.

Visible wear on the fabric

Check your saddle for any rough edges or loose bolts that may be catching on the material during your pedal stroke.

Chamois feeling uncomfortable

Verify that the shorts are properly positioned and pulled up securely to ensure the chamois aligns with your contact points on the saddle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Italian fabric construction
  • Effective silicone grippers keep shorts in place
  • Lightweight pad allows for natural range of motion
  • Reflective elements for improved road safety
  • Versatile design suitable for both racing and touring

Cons

  • Optimized for rides under three hours
  • Limited to black colorway
  • Requires careful washing to maintain fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the shorts are worn directly against the skin without undergarments to prevent chafing and to allow the chamois to function as intended. To maintain the elasticity of the nylon and the technical properties of the pad, wash these shorts in a machine at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the technical fabrics and silicone grippers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the material, rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer.
