Meet the Eleanor Chammy: Your Go-To for Diverse Riding Adventures

Wild Rye's Eleanor Chammy doesn't just claim the title of our best-selling chamois; it earns it with each pedal stroke. Crafted from a poly/spandex blend, the Eleanor delivers a balance of compression and flexibility, perfect for those extended rides that stretch across varied landscapes and challenges.

What sets it apart is its low-profile construction. Unlike the one-style-fits-all approach, the Eleanor's specific design provides the support you need without the bulk, making it as suitable for a swift morning dash as it is for a multi-day adventure. The nuanced use of materials, replacing the traditional nylon with a recycled polyester blend, not only aligns with sustainable practices but also ensures a buttery-soft feel against the skin.

Whether you're hitting technical trails or cruising urban pathways, the Eleanor Chammy, with its high-rise fit and 7-inch inseam, mitigates concerns like muffin tops and discomfort. Tandem it with the Lucille sports bra to embrace unbeatable comfort and style—indoors or out. For days when weather conditions shift, seamlessly layer it under the Freyah Bike Pant or pair it with a breathable jersey like the Gem Distance from Wild Rye. No matter the ride, Eleanor's versatility and sleek design beckon.

Unveiling the Comfort of the Alyssa Chammy

The Alyssa Chammy by Wild Rye emerges as the epitome of enduring comfort and style for the trail-savvy rider. Crafted with a luxurious blend of soft and compressive nylon, these shorts are specifically designed to support you through the challenges of long, multi-day rides. Say goodbye to shifting chamois pads that distract from your high alpine views, as the Alyssa Chammy promises stability, enabling you to focus purely on the joy of the ride.

Available in a variety of styles and sizes, from a sleek Slate Green - Mist to the bold Alpine Bloom - Black, the Alyssa Chammy caters to every cyclist's unique style. The array of sizes ensures a precision fit for a broad spectrum of body types, thus encouraging a personalized and flattering silhouette for every rider. Not just focused on aesthetic appeal, these chamois also feature a myriad of practical elements including the longest inseam offered by Wild Rye at 9 inches, coupled with a high waist for a secure, embracing fit.

The design consideration extends to details like the inclusion of a phone pocket, giving you the convenience you need on the trails. Sufficient padding is integrated seamlessly into the Alyssa Chammy, offering ample support for those with a more pronounced sit bone prominence—often termed a 'bony butt.' This ensures paramount comfort even on the most arduous of journeys. Balancing the need for technical functionality with the quest for all-day coziness, the Alyssa Chammy stands out as a trusted companion for your cycling adventures.

Embrace the Great Outdoors with Alice Chammy

For the mountain biking enthusiast, the Alice Chammy by Wild Rye stands as a champion of comfort and performance. Boasting updated features like the new world-class Italian chammy and adjusted leg bands, the Alice Chammy ensures your focus stays on the trail ahead—bursting with expectations and the promise of high summer adventures—rather than the gear you're wearing. The high waist design serves function as much as form; it elegantly prevents unwanted slippage while maintaining a secure fit, which means that for the trailblazer who detests the notorious 'muffin top', the Alice Chammy comes as a savior.

Crafted with the same soft and compressive nylon fabric from the Alyssa but with a 6-inch inseam, these chamois are designed to support bikers on extended, multi-day rides. The leg bands, now lighter and less constrictive, prioritize comfort without compromising on the security of the shorts in place during aggressive riding or leisurely cruising. The endurance-style padding underscores Wild Rye's commitment to quality, ensuring that long hours on the bike do not translate into discomfort.

The Alice Chammy fits seamlessly into the Wild Rye catalogue of products designed for the modern outdoor woman. Ranging from a size 0 to 18 and exclusively available in a sleek black, this chammy joins the ranks with other popular options like the Eleanor Chammy—distinguished by its lightweight fabric and the Alyssa with its longer 9-inch inseam, catering to a diversity of riding preferences and body types.
