The Chapeau! Women's Club Bib Shorts are a classic. The material, pad and quality are tried and trusted, with this latest evolution bringing in new in-house designer Jennie's specialist skills and knowledge of what women really want.
Designed to keep you cool and comfy either inside on your turbo or - more idyllically - out on the open road, they're a versatile high-performance padded short for any kind of cycling. Their comfortable, multi-panel design is snug and supportive without restricting your movement, and the uniquely deep waistband is evidence that a female cycing designer has really thought this through and tested it to destruction..
A deep 45mm gripper at the leg and another at the waist keeps them locked in place without cutting off circulation, and a full mesh back will keep you ventilated and cool on warmer days.
The tried-and-tested Endurance 2 pad is a high-performance, female-specific product developed for on and off road use. It's perfect for long rides and should hold you in good stead for up to 6 hours. Dual density fabric and ECO X-Tract fabric are your weapons against saddle soreness.
The Chapeau! Women's Club Waist Shorts are part of Chapeau!'s new and improved commitment to women. Jennie is their full-time, dedicated female designer, and an avid cyclist.
Chapeau! Size Guide
As a UK company, Chapeau's sizing is fairly true to UK body shapes. It is cut for road riding, though, so bear in mind that if you like your cycling kit to be less than figure hugging you should choose a size up.
If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.

Fitting Advice for Chapeau bibs - To make sure your bibs are right for you, you want them to fit tighter rather than looser. This will help the pad stay in the correct position when pedalling and allow the 'compression' qualities of the fabric to work properly.
Chapeau suggest you compare these flat measurements to a comparable piece of kit that you know fits you well, and select your size on that basis.
