Amusing story. After washing my MTB shorts with their removable padded liner, I mistakenly re-clipped the liner in back-to-front. Three miles before I was in trouble. My riding buddy is a girl. Once she’d stopped laughing at my quick rearranging of my shorts, behind a log pile, she explained that I’d just had an insight into how cycling shorts designed by men fitted the female form. Seriously, for years she has been modifying the pad in new shorts to improve the fit.
This is brilliant. My wife has found the problem of not being able to ENJOY bib shorts. We have them with long warm legs for winter use. But in winter we are wearing many layers to keep warm. It is so hard for her to go to the toilet. It wouldn't be so bad for summer because there are no extra layers to worry about. But given that I can pull the FRONT down ( as a male) being able to pull the BACK down ( for a female) would give her the same benefits that I get. I hope that your idea catches on.
It's not too bad in the summer but also... once you have this version it's hard to wear any other kind of shorts. All my other ones are catching dust in the drawer because I'm so spoiled by the ease of everything. We are upgrading our winter version now too! All seasons peeeee fun! :D
Ive never had a problem getting bibs off to #1 or #2… I unzip my Jersey and pull the bib straps down my arms. The Jersey just wraps itself into your bib straps as you pull them off your shoulders and it sits down behind your calves while you do your business.
Yay! We are working on an upgraded version for the 2025 season with some more durable straps (since they take a bit of a beating with all the pulling to go pee) hope she can test them out soon :)
Bib shorts are the same problem for men when you need to go to the bathroom. Why don't you name the material you chose? Why don't you name the overpriced brand and material that wore out in two years? I like the idea of the thigh band. Thigh length is a problem for every one. Hope you go on to design better men's shorts next.
I'm not sure naming the material would be of value if it doesn't resonate with people who don't know materials. Many of these materials are named after what they are or how they perform but after some kind of trademark so it wouldn't really be intuitive if that makes sense?
"Chamois", not "shammy"! Chamois are goat-antelope creatures which traditionally provided Chamois leather, made from their hide, which is very smooth and absorbent
I was wondering why you couldn't remove the straps through the arm holes of your jersey the way women remove bra straps without taking their shirts off?

That's interesting! I'd love to chat with your friend. Can you put us in contact somehow or ask her to reach out via our website riderawr.com

wow also innovative! I've never tried this... but guess we don't have to anymore :D
Kudos for developing a product that improves the experience of potentially 50% of the cycling population.
More things to come!
Love the easy- pee part!! That is always the problem for me so I only went for regular shorts( because I have to pee very often)
Yess, we love to stay hydrated so it's important to not have that be a barrier :)
This is great! Can you produce this also for older, not so sportive women?
What do you think the difference would be?
Just sent this to my wife, she been looking forever for something like this.
