Essential Cycling Pant

Inspired by our best-selling Essential Short, The Essential Cycling Pant is a full-length cycling legging designed for long rides. This highly compressive cycling pant that stays put and performs at the highest level, yet provides easy access for mid-ride bathroom breaks. The super flattering, yoga-inspired waistband stays up all day without squeezing or pinching, and mesh paneling at the back of the knee provides ventilation as well as chic style lines.

The Essential Cycling Pant is our newest staple in Machines' All Day Compression Fabric, made for all-day wear, and features our fan-favorite chamois graded for 6+ hours in the saddle. As always, we put fit first and this product was developed to perform at every shape, with sizing from X-Small through XXX-Large.

Why We Made This

We challenged ourselves to create the highest-performing cycling pant for women without the need for bib straps that some riders find uncomfortable or inconvenient. And it was a challenge! Most non-bib products available for women are prone to a couple of common issues: they dig in at our soft midsections, begin to slip and sag after a few hours in the saddle, and most frustrating of all, allow the chamois to shift against the saddle which can cause saddle sores, chafing, and discomfort. By focusing on compression and superior fit, we think we hit the mark!

Features

- The 27" Inseam makes for a versatile fit on many     body shapes. The Essential Pant hits slightly   above  the ankle on taller riders, and full length on   those who are petite. 

- Machines' All Day Compression fabric is a soft,   matte, and supports the body's curves with mid-     level compression. It offers less compression than   our Signature Compression fabric, for a slightly   more forgiving wear.

- The Essential Pant features the same fan-favorite   chamois as Machines’ iconic Endurance Bib. It’s   graded for 6+ hours in the saddle, bacteriostatic to   inhibit infections, and wide enough for most   women’s 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.

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

- UPF 50+ Sun Protection

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

Detail & Care

To get the longest life out of your garment, we recommend 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.

DETAILS

SIZED FOR EVERY ATHLETE

WHY IS COMPRESSION IMPORTANT?

Compression helps eliminate chaffing and keeps the chamois locked in place after hours in the saddle.

For cycling bibs and shorts, the HIP MEASUREMENT is the most crucial factor. Measure around the WIDEST POINT of the hips/bum. If you are between sizes or petite (5'3" or under), we recommend SIZING DOWN for a compressive fit. A snug fit is crucial to performance.

(Please note, the fit guide requires chest, waist and hip measurements.)
