How to Choose the Perfect Cycling Shorts for Every Ride

Cycling shorts are more than just a piece of activewear — they’re the unsung heroes of a comfortable, confident, and performance-driven ride. For women who love cycling or are just starting to explore the joy of riding, choosing the right pair of cycling shorts can make all the difference. At SCODY, we know what it takes to create women’s cycling shorts that don’t just perform — they impress, endure, and feel like they were made just for you.

Comfort That Moves With You

The first thing you’ll notice when slipping into a quality pair of cycling shorts is the snug, second-skin fit. Not tight. Not loose. Just right. Our design philosophy centres on comfort that adapts to your body — shorts that stay smooth and secure, eliminating unwanted movement, chafing, or irritation. The snug fit also ensures better aerodynamics, allowing you to move efficiently whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or cruising.

Fabrics Engineered for the Elements

SCODY’s technical fabrics are built for Australia’s dynamic weather. Breathable, UPF-protective materials offer all-season comfort, while special winter-weight fabrics provide insulation and thermoregulation without trapping moisture. Whether you’re cycling under the summer sun or taking a cold morning ride, our shorts help regulate temperature so you can focus on your performance.

The All-Important Chamois

If there’s one element you shouldn’t compromise on in cycling shorts, it’s the chamois. Ours are Italian-designed, high-density, breathable, antimicrobial, and ergonomically padded, perfect for both short commutes and endurance rides. A good chamois makes the difference between a smooth, supported journey and saddle sores you’ll never forget.

Lengths That Suit Your Style

How long should cycling shorts be? That depends on your personal style and riding habits. Some riders prefer a longer inseam for better leg coverage and muscle compression, while others enjoy the freedom and fashion of a shorter cut. At SCODY, we’ve got both — and everything in between.

Bibs or Knicks? You Decide

When choosing between cycling bibs and knicks, comfort is key. Bibs are perfect for those who want full support without a waistband, while knicks offer flexibility with grippers and high-stretch waistbands. If you don’t enjoy the feel of straps, go for knicks. If you’re tired of your waistband digging in mid-ride, bibs are your best friend.

Smart Storage for Smart Riders

For those longer rides or races, nutrition and gear storage is essential. SCODY cycling shorts come equipped with strategically placed mesh pockets — large enough for gels, tools, and essentials without compromising fit or feel. These details make all the difference in endurance events or long training sessions.

Designed to Last

Investing in SCODY cycling shorts means investing in gear that will go the distance. Our shorts are built with durable stitching, fade-resistant sublimation printing, and long-lasting fabrics. Even after hundreds of rides and washes, your shorts will look and perform like new.

Style That Speaks to You

From team kits to funky patterns, we don’t believe in boring gear. Our sublimated designs don’t crack, peel, or fade, meaning your unique style stays bold for the life of the garment. You can even explore custom cycling shorts for clubs, events, or personal flair that stands out in the peloton.

Our Top Picks

Two of our most loved women’s cycling shorts include:

  • Quilted Navy Performance Cargo Shorts — With high compression, flattering lines, generous pockets, and our signature Italian chamois, these are an all-round winner.
