Women's bib shorts aren't men's bibs in smaller sizes. The chamois is shaped for women, and that's the part that decides how comfortable the ride is.

Start with the chamois

Look for a women's-specific chamois built for the length of ride you do. All of our women's bibs below have one.

Your options

Season One: Stained Glass, Owlery and Modern use a women's-specific Endurance Carbonium chamois, Miti Shield 240 GSM fabric and a 7.5 cm Forza silicone power band.
Some Her: Mauve, Cream, Ash and Yellow have a multi-dimensional Tempo women's chamois and 240 GSM compression fabric: pro-level compression without breaking the bank.
Classics: Midnight and Deep Blue are plain bibs in top-end Italian fabrics and chamois, with CORBAH lettering on the leg.
Corbah 23 and RedRide: the Corbah 23 and RedRide bibs come in women's versions up to 3XL, with a microfiber chamois and a mesh back panel.
For a laugh: the Bikini bib shorts add a red bikini bottom to a skin-tone print.

Plain or matching?

Plain bibs go with every jersey you own. Matching bibs finish a kit: see women’s cycling kits and how to choose a women’s cycling jersey. Read cycling chamois explained for more on what's inside.

Getting the fit right

Bibs should fit close, with no gaps at the leg band. If you're between sizes, or you like a little more room, size up. Our size guide has the full charts. If you get it wrong, keep it: within 15 days of delivery you can order the same item in another size at about 20–60% off.
