Gore Wear bike shorts for women are loose-fitting shorts for mountain biking, trails and tours off the road. Unlike close-fitting cycling shorts, they look like normal shorts and you can also wear them in the mountain hut or the café.
What is the difference between bike shorts and cycling shorts?
The wide cut leaves room for knee pads and protects your skin a little better than thin Lycra on contact with branches or in a crash. The outer material is usually more robust than on road cycling shorts. On the other hand, the fabric flaps at high speed and is heavier, which is why bike shorts are hardly ever worn on the road bike.
Bike shorts do not always have a chamois pad. Some models come with removable padded inner shorts, others are worn over separate padded cycling undershorts.
Tip: Try on bike shorts with your pads if you wear them on the trail. Only then can you see whether the leg width is sufficient.
