Notes about fit

For cycling bibs and shorts, the HIP MEASUREMENT is the most crucial factor.
For cycling jerseys, the BUST MEASUREMENT is most important for sizing.
Measure around the WIDEST POINT of the hips/bum, and the WIDEST POINT of the bust (not the ribcage).
If you are between sizes or petite, we recommend SIZING DOWN for a compressive fit. A snug fit is crucial to performance.
Check out our FIT GUIDE for more detailed instructions, or pop your measurements into the fit calculator above for a personalized recommendation! (Please note, the fit guide requires chest, waist and hip measurements.)

The Chamois

Ultra high density ischiatic inserts will stay comfortable for up to 6 hours in the saddle. Positioning works for all sit bones widths.
Thermo-molded design makes this chamois look, and feel, less bulky.
High density ‘pelvic track’ insert shaped for a woman’s anatomy.
Extremely soft and breathable fabric. Polymide-carbon threading makes the fabric ultra fast drying, bacteriostatic, and reduces heat gain during long hours in the saddle.

Makes me feel legit

I have shied away from getting a full kit for years because I always felt like I didn't need the full getup and would look ridiculous in it if I did wear one. But this kit caught my eye and I'm glad I gave in. It's incredibly comfortable and makes me feel strong and confident when I'm out on rides. Will definitely be back for more.

Beautiful - but double check your size.

Such a gorgeous kit - feminine and well made. I used the size and fit guide and then also emailed Machines to double check those recommendations; small/medium on top and medium bibs. I am a size 8ish, 160 lbs, 36A, and over 6 feet tall. I bought a medium in both, as I am very tall but slender, and the bibs are so small I cannot pull them on the top leaves little to the imagination. I wish I had gone with my instincts and bought XL as I typically do in cycling clothes. I am exchanging for an XL in both top and bottom and look forward to riding in this kit with more appropriate sizing.

The kit to end all kits

I really can’t say enough good things about this kit. I was skeptical of the sleeves for warm weather but the fabric is so silky and lightweight, I actually do feel cooler when I’m wearing it. The fit is also just so damn nice. I’m a lifetime customer and am already planning to buy a second kit.

Tired of wearing sunblock

I've had my eyes on the summerweight kit combo for some time now and finally went for it. I get tired of wearing sunblock and want to protect my tattoos while riding and this was the perfect kit to add to my collection. The fit is on point and really comfortable/flattering. I want another summerweight jersey already!
