Rapha Core W Shorts

The Rapha Core W cycling shorts without bib straps offer full freedom of movement and pleasant support on every ride. They excel with a minimalist design and superb performance in summer temperatures or high-intensity indoor training sessions. The soft waistband and reliable grip at the leg ends ensure a carefree cycling experience where comfort is key.

Fabric and chamois
These women's shorts are made of a densely knitted fabric that offers light compression to your leg muscles. The material consists of recycled nylon and elastane, resulting in a breathable and supportive fit for a variety of rides. The women-specific chamois absorbs shocks well and is composed of foam with different densities for consistent wearing comfort in temperatures between 10° and 30°C. The padding's seamless finish prevents irritation during movement.

Finish and extras
The finish includes laser-cut leg grippers with silicone layers to keep the shorts' legs well in place. At the back is a higher-cut waistband that provides additional coverage in the cycling position. A soft panel at the front of the waist prevents pinching while bending forward on the bike. Flat-stitched seams across the shorts make chafing highly unlikely. Discreet brand details and subtle colourways give the whole garment a professional look that is easy to combine with other cycling clothing.
