Quality cycling bib shorts offer a number of advantages for the cyclist, including distraction-free riding, muscle support and improved aerodynamics.

Wide, secure bib straps keep fabric from bunching up or tightening around the midsection, letting you power on with full breaths of fresh air. Compressive and breathable fabric improves circulation and protects against chafing. Soft yet secure grippers stop fabric from sliding up your leg mid-cycle, while the multi-zone chamois protects you from saddle soreness and friction. All of this leaves you free to enjoy your ride without restriction.

Because cycling bibs need to be form-fitting to function properly, our bib cycling shorts for women and men have different cuts and fits. Our women’s cycling bib shorts taper more at the waist for a close fit, and feature a wider ergonomically-curved chamois that provides padding in the right places for female anatomy. So, you can choose Attaquer female cycling bibs knowing the fit has been developed with your comfort and performance in mind.

Bib shorts for cycling women are best worn like a second skin with a firm, supportive fit. You can be sure of a good fit when the fabric feels snug and smooth against the body – there will be no bunching or dragging of fabric.

Race fits are often tighter to cut down on drag and optimise blood flow, while a more relaxed fit will probably suit those planning for all-day or casual riding.

Consider:

• Our Race collection for a firm fit with high compression and four-way stretch
• Our All-Day line for long ride comfort, brought to life with quality Italian recycled fabrics, and
• Our A-Line collection for accessible everyday fits and bold colour blocking.

Because of the need for a close fit in bib cycling shorts, women’s cycling kits typically don’t require underwear to be worn underneath. However, an optional cycling base layer for women such as a breathable undershirt can add extra warmth and protection for the chest.

A women’s cycling jersey worn over the top of the bib shorts wicks away moisture and shields the rider against sun and wind. And if the mercury happens to be low, there’s also the option to add a streamlined women’s cycling jacket for a hydrophilic layer against the rain and cold.

This of course comes down to personal preference, though there are a few reasons cyclists prefer to wear bib shorts. The waistband on standard shorts could pull up and restrict breathing when in the riding position, and this can also pull down at the back which leaves the rider exposed to sun and cold. By adding flat, broad straps on the torso in a bib configuration, we eliminate the need for the waistband altogether. The chamois and fabric are kept securely in place and can do what they’re designed to do – protect and support you so you’re perfectly equipped to find your alter ego.
