THE FREYAH

Finally, a true bike pant for women. These pants will take you from the sweltering heat of the bike park in the summer months, to cool fall rides, or layer-up for winter biking in the snow. They are incredibly versatile, so don't be afraid to rock them while nordic skiing or on-piste skinning. Packed with breathability, durability and style, the Freyah is constructed from our signature DuraStretch 4-way stretch nylon found in our flagship Freel shorts. These pants are loaded with features to meet women's needs!

THE FREDA

Everything women love about the Freel, but in a shorter 7" inseam. Same fabric, same prints, same great side pockets, but a slightly re-tooled fit to accommodate a shorter inseam.

THE FREEL

Our flagship short, the Freel, has been Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Year and is beloved by mountain bikers everywhere, from the Alps to the Bitterroots.

With four-way stretch, deep pockets, and our unique collection of playful prints, the Freel is a beautifully designed short that is still technical as hell. No compromises—it’s our favorite workhorse.

the baddie bib

We're officially entering that bib life. For all you bib evangelists, we're carrying over the same high end fabric you've grown to love on the Alice and Alyssa, but adding the extra security of mesh over-the-shoulder straps to hold everything into place. Thoughtfully designed paneling and mesh placements are tailored perfectly for a woman's body while still maintaining movement and breathability.

THE ALYSSA

The Alyssa chammy carries over all of our favorite features from the Alice —hello high waist and world-class Italian chammy—but with more coverage via the new 9" inseam length. Made with soft and compressive nylon, the Alyssa Chammy was designed to keep you going on long, multi-day rides so you can stop thinking about your chammy pad and start enjoying those high alpine views.

THE ALICE

Is it bragging to say this is our best chammy yet? No, embrace your worth! But seriously, the Alice chammy carries over some of our favorite features while making some critical improvements—hello high waist and world-class Italian chammy. We’ve reduced excess silicone at the waist without sacrificing security, and adjusted the leg bands to eliminate the dreaded sausage leg. Made with soft and compressive nylon, the Alice Chammy was designed to keep you going on long, multi-day rides so you can stop thinking about your chammy pad and start enjoying those high alpine views.
