Essential Cycling Short 8.5 - FINAL SALE

Many view shorts as the novice kit, a first step on the way to bibs. But our community was saying something different'Ķ They aren'Äôt beginners; they'Äôre out there riding centuries and multi-day tours, mile after mile. But they prefer the easy in and out of a short without losing any of the technical benefits of a high-performance bib.

- The 8.5" Inseam makes for a versatile, mid-thigh fit. 

- The Essential Short features the same fan-favorite chamois as Machines'Äô Endurance Bib. It'Äôs graded   for 6+ hours in the saddle, bacteriostatic to inhibit infections, and wide enough for most women'Äôs sit bones.

- The yoga-inspired waistband is revolutionary: compressive enough to stay up without sagging, but soft enough to eliminate elastic bands that dig when in the riding position.

- New seamless leg bands stay put without squeezing.

- Machines'Äô iconic paneled construction combines style and a flattering sleek silhouette.

- 2 side pockets 

- Highest quality European fabric is compressive, moisture-wicking, and silky soft to the touch.

A snug fit is crucial to performance!

If you are under 5'-3" tall we recommend sizing down.

To get the longest life out of your garment, we recomend washing in cold water with a mild detergent and hanging it to dry. If you need to toss it in the dryer in a pinch, that's okay! Just keep this to a minimum. Overtime, heat can degrade the yar, resulting in lost compression and durability.
