Indoor Cycling Essentials Kit with Padded Leggings

Really comfy cycling pants but quite pricey - wanted then to last longer than 18 months! Have patched them up - fingers crossed

I've been cycling for years in cheap padded shorts and quick dry tees. I thought bibs and jerseys were serious riders only. That is a lie! Bibs are for everyone!! I cannot believe how comfortable these are compared to my shorts. There's no waistband digging into my stomach, nothing squeezing my thighs - I didn't even think about my clothes on my ride. Which is whole point of cycling clothes. The bibs plus the jersey made me feel like a bad ass cyclist who can take on anything, plus the modernist print is fun and colorful. I was skeptical about the summerweight jersey but I wore it in the sun on the 80 degree day and never felt too hot. I actually felt cold when I stopped in the shade. I love not slathering myself with greasy sunscreen. I actually just ordered a second summerweight jersey so I can have a back up. I followed the size chart for an XS jersey, which was snug but still comfortable, and an S bibs. I also tried an XS bibs but they were suffocating.

I have yet to be disappointed by a Machines for Freedom Purchase. The Jersey breathes so well and the bibs have just the right level of compression. Thanks for making cycling gear that fits real women.

Love the fit and the cut of the bib shorts. Sizing was approx my usual size when normally i would expect to size up in bike apparel. Regarding the jersey - for me the size that matched my bust measurements was a better fit.

I’m 5’10 and 175lbs and ordered the large bibs and medium jersey based on my measurements. Both are quite snug. I also ordered tall, and glad I did! There’s no extra space in the torso- the straps are tight. Otherwise, it feels good quality and the chamois is comfortable. I would just recommend sizing up from what the size chart recommends
