Women's Cycling Jerseys: How to Choose Yours
Women's cut or unisex, plain or printed, and which bibs to wear with it: a short guide to choosing a women's cycling jersey.
In this post
A good jersey disappears once you're riding: no flapping, no riding up, nothing digging in. For many women, the easiest way to get there is a jersey cut for women. Here's what to look for, and our women's jerseys by style.
Women's cut or unisex?
A women's cut is usually shorter in the body and narrower across the shoulders than a men's or unisex jersey, with more room at the hips. That means less fabric bunching at the front when you're on the bike. Unisex and men's jerseys can still work, especially if you're tall or broad-shouldered, so check the measurements rather than the label.
For the details of how a jersey should sit, read how should a cycling jersey fit, and use our size guide for the women's chart.
What to look for
- A waist gripper, so the hem stays put when you're in the drops.
- Three rear pockets, and ideally a zipped one for your key or card.
- A full-length zip, so you can vent on a climb.
- Lighter fabric where you sweat most, such as the back or side panels.
Our women's jerseys
Plain
- Classics Midnight Black: all black, the easiest to match.
- Classics Deep Blue: plain navy, with matching navy bibs.
Floral
- Some Her: four colorways, Mauve, Cream, Ash and Yellow, each with matching bibs.

Bold
- Stained Glass: white with teal, pink and purple panels.
- Modern: black with bold geometric shapes.
- Owlery: white with pink owl-print sleeves.
Don't forget the bibs
Bibs matter more than the jersey for comfort. Look for a women's specific chamois, like the Tempo chamois in our Some Her bibs. Our guide to how bib shorts should fit explains what to check.
Riding with a partner? Stained Glass and Modern come in men's cuts too. See our matching cycling kits for couples.
