Women's Cycling Bib Shorts - Hors Category - Black

Built for the longest days in the saddle.

After 500+ miles and multiple 10+ hour days riding from North Carolina to Washington DC, our founder knew there had to be a better bib short. Even premium bibs loosened over time, causing the chamois to shift, chafe, and stay wet. The result? The Hors Category Century Compression Bib Shorts — precision-engineered women's cycling bib shorts that stay locked in place and comfortable mile after mile.

Why These Women's Cycling Bib Shorts Outperform the Rest

Most bib shorts lose their shape after a few hours. Ours don't. We spent eleven months developing a 13-panel construction using five premium Italian fabrics — including two compression materials — to create a short that fits perfectly in the riding position, not just standing up.

The result is a compressive yet comfortable fit that prevents movement, reduces chafing, and keeps the chamois exactly where it belongs — even on the hottest, longest rides.

Dolomiti Stelvio Gel Chamois – Engineered for 6+ Hour Rides

We chose the Dolomiti Stelvio Gel chamois, a favorite among high-end Italian cycling brands. This multi-density, perforated foam (with 3mm and 8mm ventilation holes) dramatically improves airflow and moisture wicking. Silver ion treatment adds antibacterial protection, while the 3D anatomic women's design delivers all-day comfort.
