Named "Best Overall Waist Shorts" by Bicycling.com
The Women's Expedition Shorts are designed for riders who crave adventure beyond the pavement. These women's cycling shorts deliver all-day comfort with a soft nylon body fabric that balances compression and flexibility for everyday performance on road or trail.
A wide, smooth waistband ensures a secure fit that won't dig in, while durable stretch-woven thigh panels include two cargo pockets with interior mesh compartments to keep essentials close and stable. An additional lumbar pocket provides extra storage for long rides. The ELITE Levitate™ 3D dual-density chamois features a resilient suspension core that absorbs rough terrain and reduces vibration for lasting comfort over mixed surfaces.
BioViz™ reflective elements ensure visibility up to 100 meters in low light, keeping you seen when your ride stretches into the twilight. Whether you're exploring gravel routes or bikepacking, the Women's Expedition Shorts are built to go the distance.
