One size fits all.
Since we launched in 2012, just after the London Olympics, VeloVixen has become a byword for hand chosen gear that's been designed entirely for the female rider. And, we're often told, the benchmark for friendly, approachable, knowledgable customer service.
That's before you mention our broader commitment to the sport through our regular event appearances, popular blog and Facebook chat group, Strava group, open days and so much more.
We're still a proudly family-run small UK business based just outside Oxford, committed to offering what passionate, capable people like you actually want!
When it comes to putting our name on our own products, we need to be 100% convinced that we're offering something special. Undies for riding your bike in have proved themselves over the years to be so popular that we decided it was time to take things on another level.
So we worked on and improved on our UK designed pants with their exceptional quality built in Italian chamois padding, based on all that we know about female cyclists, and finally let our undies loose on the world in 2018...
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service - you will receive a tracking code with your order.
Next Day Delivery (guaranteed by 12pm with Royal Mail) is available on some products when ordered before 1pm. This option will be shown next to the specific product when available.
If your particular size is not shown, feel free to contact us by email at contact@velovixen.com. Please note some deliveries may take longer if we need to order a product in.
