Women specific cycle clothing

What do they look like MG?

Plain black, some with a red stripe, some with a pink. I haven't tried them on yet, they only had XS left (here's hoping I can pour my thighs into them!) so if they don't fit I'll post them up as freebies.

Sorry to cross post but in case anyone is free tomorrow and on the look out for some parts and clothes (mainly cycling clobber), this jumble http://www.lfgss.com/thread84326.html is happening tomorrow in Kennington - Balfe's Bikes are also bringing some new ladies' gear over from their Dulwich store for us.

I just treated myself to 2 pairs of dhb bibs.
24quid each, bargain.
One in thicker roubaix fabric http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-ladies-pace-roubaix-34-padded-bib-tights/,
and the other one in much thinner one for the summer http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-ladies-pace-padded-34-bib-tights/
As much as i like my rapha's and assos i won't be buying them again (unless heavily reduced) as they wear out as easily as any other shorts.
They're not perfect, but fit nicely (they're generous in sizing) and at 24quid it's a steal.
So girls, if you're after 3/4 bibs grab yourself a bargain.

Nice Ada!

Anyone got these or heard much about them??

Not women specific but I bought some waist 28 men's Swrve shorts off Nurseholliday and they fit just like high-waisted hotpants (with the bottoms rolled up a few times of course)! Awesome!

Sorry for the pic of my arse,

Speaking of swrve I'm about to post a 15% discount page for all LFGSS members courtesy of the lovely Chris. So check the Swrve thread tomorrow

Yes! Summer Swrve discount time!

How is the waist Scoot? A bit big? I think we're similar sizes but I always thought the 28 would be far too big for me...

It's a little loose, but it's nice having a bit of extra room for riding/eating lots of food, and you can't really tell unless I actually pull the waistband away because of the shape.

I thought 28 would be a lower hip-hugging fit on me, especially as they're supposed to be mens, but the sizing comes up pretty small actually.

Hmmm I wonder if the trousers fit the same...

Thanks!

Jess, i was thinking of going to SWRVE again to try some trousers.
Sizing is different on each model so i won't be risking ordering from the website.

Can you let us know when/if you go Ada - and if you're happy for people to tag along that is!

I'd like to go with you Ada if I can? Let me know when you were thinking...

Pm'd you both

I'd like to confirm size 28 in the 3/4s do come up small. I visited Chris earlier and will be collecting my two pairs once I've been paid. Yipee!!

Awesome, did anyone go Monday? I'd still like to go! (get paid Friday :D)

Monday didn't work out.
I'm planning to pop in there on my lunch break tomorrow.

^^ That's my main concern, which is why it takes me an age to find jeans that fit my legs and doesn't gape too much at the waist due to my shapely derriere :-).

I am happy to report the Swrve 3/4s are fabulous for my shape. Minimal gap at the back. Will treat myself to a pair of the 'longs' in time for winter, funds permitting.

Now I just need to find regular undies I can roll around London in. I'm thinking boys boxer shorts...........

Edit: Just Googled and there are boxer shorts for women. I really need to get out more........

'Fess up ladies. Who bought the last 28 Swrve shorts? :P

Did you really mean the "last 28" or "the last size 28"? Good business for Chris either way :-).

hmm really quite tempted by some 3/4s now... regular cotton or skinny? I like the look of the skinnies from the side (on the website) do the regular ones have similar features? I don't generally fit skinny cut anythings...

Did you really mean the "last 28" or "the last size 28"? Good business for Chris either way :-).

Haha! I meant the last size 28". Oh well, it's probably best that I can't get my hands on any right now, not like we're having much of a summer :P

my cotton 3/4s just arrived, and they're pretty snug. I got 31s. I think they're the right size - I usually wear trousers with a belt so will be nice to go without - though I kinda feel like going to try on some 32s now...

I find it is worth trying stuff on from swerve. All the cuts/fabrics seem to come up differently on me. I've got jeans & shorts ranging from 32-36, and all fit nicely!
