Our premier ELITE shorts designed to meet the demands of women cyclists - higher and narrower at the waist, and slightly fuller through the hips. Designed for your longest rides, and often the first choice of our ultra-distance cycling customers. The Action fabric is of a robust weight for added durability and features higher compression (i.e. higher spandex content) to provide maximum muscle support. Race-cut waist, low in front and long in back, for a secure, comfortable cycling fit and all-day comfort.

"Just a note to let you know that I received my shorts last night and they're just perfect. Thanks for the very quick turn-around! I'll be wearing them at PBP for sure."
"These bib shorts have been a real life-saver! After searching high and low for good maternity cycling shorts and finding that the only available shorts that seemed to be designed for bicycling during pregnancy just didn't work well for me (inadequate chamois coverage), I checked with my favorite shorts source -- Bouré, of course -- and they suggested that I try the bibs. At five and a half months along, I'm finding them to be extremely comfortable, with the superior fit and chamois that I know and love. Plus, Bouré tells me they can remove the bib portion postpartum and put in a waistband, which appeals to my frugal side: rather than end up with a pair of maternity shorts that will be of no use to me later, I'll have an extra pair of my favorites!"
"After the great fit, I especially like the chamois. This will improve my longer rides so much!"
"Just wanted to let you know that I received the Elite shorts last week. I LOVE THEM! And they fit perfectly. I have Mountain Equipment Coop and Descente padded shorts and I can say, unequivocally, that yours are the best. The padding is much better, stays in place, and just feels better. I only need them for my spin cycle as my outdoors bike has an ergonomic seat, but for long rides, I think I’ll ditch my usual rowing shorts and wear your shorts because I like the ‘feel’ of them. I will certainly shop with you again."

**Fitting Note: Our PRO and ELITE shorts are designed to fit you specifically while in a cycling position, and subsequently, will feel loose in the rear end and low in front when standing upright and trying them on for fit. Please hop on your bike, bend forward to the handlebars, and then check their fit in your riding position.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I saw a review of your products and they talked about your chamois being thinner than others. Can you explain to me the differences in your chamois inserts and how they work?
3. I recently finished a 460 mile bike ride in six days. I developed saddle sores that got infected and the last couple of days were miserable. I'm trying to find a solution and everybody has ideas. I'm currently trying a new saddle and have adjusted the way I sit in the saddle.
