Swiftride Short Cycling Tights - Women's

About this find

These women's short cycling tights are made from 80% recycled nylon and 20% elastane, so the fabric has plenty of stretch. The soft, tightly knit material and higher waistline give a less compressive, comfort-first feel, and the elastic waistband finishes the top edge. The 7.09-inch inseam keeps the leg short, with a formfitting cut made for road cycling.

The seat pad is where these tights do their best work. The ACTIVE Comfort 2.0 pad uses updated foam densities for improved comfort over longer periods of time, and it is a standard chamois. The GOREWEAR Liner works with the pad for a more comfortable fit, plus enhanced breathability and moisture management during longer rides.

Reflective details on the thighs add visibility when you ride in lower light. There are no pockets, so a jersey pocket is a handy place for your phone and keys. That keeps the tights smooth and uncluttered, which suits a formfitting short designed around the pad and liner.

At 4.7 ounces, the tights are light enough to toss in a gym bag or pannier without noticing the weight. The fabric includes recycled nylon, a nice bonus if that matters to you. Pair them with a fitted jersey for road days, and you are ready to roll from the first mile to the last.
