Many women are reluctant to wear cycling shorts. The main reason we've encountered is the way their thighs look when they wear them.
One of the essential parts of shorts and bib shorts are the leg grippers. They play a very important role in keeping everything in the right place when you're riding.
But while all our leg gripper options work well in terms of fit and comfort, some are too restrictive when used on softer female skin fabrics. This sometimes makes even the most athletic riders feel like they've put on a few pounds.
That's why we started looking for better options. One such option is our Epic line of women's bib shorts.
For the Vesper Bibhort Soft, we took a different route. We used a type of soft Lycra on the leg ends and folded it in half (so you have the soft side on the inside and outside of the leg ends). The result is a lower leg that offers just the right amount of compression to keep the shorts in place, without being too constricting.
The Vesper Soft bib shorts are a great example of how we work with existing materials. We rethink the very concept of cycling shorts until they meet the cyclist's needs. It's the bib short of choice for women who want comfort, ease of wear and good looks.
