For cyclists who demand elite performance and all-day comfort, the Women's PRO Shorts deliver everything you need in a streamlined, bib-free design. Made for serious road rides and long endurance efforts, these are your go-to women's cycling shorts.
The shorts feature luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric for optimal compression and moisture management, helping to support your muscles and regulate temperature during high-effort training sessions. At the heart is the PRO Levitate™ chamois, our top-tier pad, offering multi-density support and friction-reducing technology that keeps you comfortable hour after hour.
Laser cut raw-edge leg openings with printed silicone grippers hold the shorts in place without pinching, while the wide waistband provides a secure fit that won't roll or dig in. Designed with a clean silhouette and precise fit, these shorts combine race-ready performance with long-ride comfort.
Pair them with our Women's PRO Jersey for a complete high-performance road kit, or browse more women's cycling gear to match your riding goals.

USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
FAQs
The Women's PRO Shorts are premium women's road cycling shorts with a top-tier chamois and Italian compression fabric, in a waist short with no bib straps.
- Who are the Women's PRO Shorts built for?
Road riders who want PRO-level comfort without bib straps: training rides, group rides, and endurance miles, for riders who prefer the easy on-off of a waist short. - What chamois do the Women's PRO Shorts use?
The triple-density PRO Levitate™ chamois, the same pad as the Women's PRO Bib Shorts. It reduces friction and saddle pressure and supports longer time in the riding position. The Chamois Guide compares every tier. - Are these good padded cycling shorts for long rides?
Yes. The PRO Levitate™ chamois, supportive compression, and low-bulk laser-cut hems are built for long road rides. If saddle comfort and a stable fit matter more to you than pockets, these are made for it. - Should I choose the PRO Shorts or the PRO Bib Shorts?
Same chamois, same fabric. The Women's PRO Bib Shorts give the most locked-in fit, since the bib upper holds everything without a waistband. The PRO Shorts use a wide waistband that stays put, and suit riders who want easier on-off and more freedom through the torso. - Will the waistband roll or dig in?
The wide waistband spreads pressure around the waist rather than concentrating it, so it holds in the riding position without rolling or digging in. - How long is the inseam?
8.5 inches, with laser-cut raw-edge leg openings and printed silicone grippers. - How do they compare to the Women's Attack Shorts and Women's Quest Shorts?
The Women's Attack Shorts are the everyday performance option for regular training. The Women's Quest Shorts are built around all-day comfort for weekend rides and commutes. The PRO Shorts carry the most advanced fabric and chamois, for longer and faster road rides. - What should I wear with the Women's PRO Shorts?
Pair them with the Women's PRO Jersey, or the Women's PRO Mesh Jersey on hot days. For changing conditions, add the Women's PRO Barrier Vest.
