The Troy Lee Designs Sprint Short dials up the same performance as the adult version. It features high-denier mesh fabrics that maximize breathability and durability along with smaller features that make a difference, such as zipper flaps over the fly to keep out mud and dirt, waist adjustments, zippered hand pockets, and a race fit that accommodates base layers while staying long enough to avoid skin gaps when worn with knee pads.

Giordana definitely has some garments in its lineup that punch well above their weight class. We're not sure if it's the brand's wealth of knowledge and materials that trickle down or the fact that it owns its own factory in Italy that allows them to hit such attractive price point. Regardless, the Women's SilverLine Short is one of our favorites, and if you are looking for a pair of shorts for the Tuesday night hammerfest, a solo soul ride, or maybe even your first pair of cycling shorts, you can't do much better than these. The shorts are constructed from 2 panels of stretchy and breathable fabric that provides a contoured fit supporting cycling muscle groups while you pedal, reducing fatigue, and moves hot perspiration away from your skin. The fit is classic Giordana and you'll be in total comfort as the cut is non-restrictive while still offering compression and support for the long miles ahead. Leg cuffs are constructed from 4. 5cm non-restrictive, soft, woven elastic that comfortably keeps the hems in place. Topping these shorts off is the Cirro S-W chamois providing a plush, cushioned barrier between you and the saddle with its breathable foam and soothing aloe vera impregnation. Reflective rear striping along each leg allows for brilliant visibility in low-light conditions.

When you've had it with premature fatigue setting in on demanding road rides, get yourself the Louis Garneau Women's Neo Power Motion 5. 5 Short. This cycling short hugs your lower body with compressive support to aide in blood circulation, enhancing your ability to push across grueling distances where lesser shorts would falter. It's a bit shorter than others in Louis Garneau's women's line with its 5. 5-inch inseam, meaning you'll remain cool in sweltering weather. We don't have any definitive numbers for its compressive ability, but Louis Garneau claims an increased resistance to fatigue somewhere in the neighborhood of ten percent, thanks to its Power + Lycra construction. This marks a major advancement over cheaper shorts that are both ill-fitting and not supportive, both of which can lead to irritation and premature exhaustion when you're ticking off century rides and competing in local races on the weekends. Delving inside this compressive piece, you'll find a women's-specific Motion Airgel chamois that lessens the burden of riding across long distances, especially over broken pavement and jarring stretches of asphalt. Along the bottom cuffs, Louis Garneau's Powerband sits securely while reducing pressure, as to not cut off precious circulation to hard-working muscles.

Fabrics are carefully developed and placed to maximize the comfort of the shorts and the star material is HC-50 which has amazing compressive properties. Its soft to the touch and the higher thread count also helps the fabric breathe better than its older HC-44 material. Zaffiro 2. 0, an abrasion resistant material, is utilized on the seat panel and inner legs so these shorts last for many miles and stay looking like new. The 190 E bands spread a soft, non-restrictive, and gently compressive grip across the 7. 5-centimeter-wide cuffs keeping the hems in place.
