If you like the fit and convenience of waist cycling shorts, rather than bibs, but still demand superb comfort and muscle support then you won't be disappointed with the high-performance Sportful Women's Total Comfort Shorts.

The latest generation Women's Total Comfort Shorts retain all the comfort of their predecessors but Sportful have improved the cut to make them fit better than ever. This new tailoring has also allowed for fewer seams and fewer seams mean there's now reduced friction to eliminate chafing when pedalling. Lightly compressive fabric supports your hard-working muscles and being highly breathable too, you'll remain dry and comfortable.

They're highly breathable too, so no clammy feeling when you're riding hard. At the legs, the raw-cut ending sees thermowelded silicone inside, holding the shorts in place but all without excessive pressure.

One area that has remained untouched, after all, if it ain't broke don't fix it, is the women's specific Total Comfort seat pad. With continuously variable closed-cell urethane foam, of up to 18 mm in thickness, it provides the highest level of support and vibration absorption. Every detail of the pad has a singular focus on comfort, eliminating chafing and keeping the seat pad dry as you build up body heat.

These are the shorts for your all-day sunrise to sunset rides, your multi-day adventures or perhaps that long-distance Gran Fondo you've committed to. With their simple styling hiding their impressive performance they'll look great with any kit choice and keep you comfortable from the first to the last mile.

About the Sportful brand

The Sportful story began in 1946, when the Cremonese family opened a knitwear factory named Manifattura Valcismon. Over the years, production evolved toward the manufacture of high-quality underwear. The real turning point came in 1972, when Dr. Giordano Cremonese, who had taken over the management of the business from his parents, wanted to participate in the newly established Marcialonga cross-country ski race but did not have appropriate clothing. He decided to use the family business to produce the necessary apparel and what had begun as a personal need grew into an unprecedented success. This was the beginning of the Sportful brand. In 1985, seeing the great demand for technical cycling apparel and encouraged by the company's remarkable success in cross-country skiing, Sportful embarked on a new adventure - Cycling. It wasn’t long before they were involved at the highest level, equipping teams such as Alfa Lum, Ariostea and Mapei, the latter dominating the classics throughout the 90s. Some of their greatest achievements came when the Italian national team used Sportful apparel, with World Championship victories for Bettini, Cipollini and Ballan. The success continued with their Saxo Bank partnership, victories in all three grand tours, and multiple classics wins from the likes of Cancellara ,Contador and Sagan. Working with pro team athletes Sportful strives to make the best possible performance apparel for all conditions. Sportful is currently the official technical clothing partner Trek Segafredo and Drops Women's cycling team.
