VeloVixen's very first women's cycling bib shorts are a collaboration with our friends at Stolen Goat, making them anything but a step into the unknown. Stolen Goat have spent years making ultra-comfortable shorts for cyclists who want to combine great durability with elegant and understated styling.
VeloVixen's bibbed cycling shorts go with any outfit and are sure to give you all the Vixen-vibes while you ride.
Built with your comfort in mind, these bib shorts are incredibly adaptable. They're ideal for everything from spin classes or turbo sessions to full club rides or sportives.
Made from top quality supportive lycra, these bib shorts boast a generously broad 'powerband' leg cuff that keeps them safely in place with no call for a silicon gripper, while simultaneously avoiding the dreaded 'sausage leg'. On top of this, the female specific chamois pad is up there with the best on the market. Rest assured that this pad - with its contoured multiple layers - will keep you comfortable and free from any unnecessary complications.
These shorts are constructed from a single piece meaning that they have just one seam to further decrease irritation. They are also UV protected and are treated with "ColdBlack" which helps to reflect the heat from the Sun. This keeps you the right temperature whatever the weather.
- Proprietary Pad - Developed in Belgium alongside top-level pro riders and teams to create the perfect pad and positioning on the bike. The pad is anti-bacterial, fast drying and features Dimple Technology to improve airflow.
- Premium Fit - The VeloVixen bib shorts are slightly compressive in feel, very much a performance fit. The legs are held in place with a premium grade elasticated band rather than use silicone gripper which can pull on the skin and has a tendency to ride up the leg.
- Premium Fabric - Not all bib shorts are created equal. The lycra used here is 2-way breathable and 4-way stretch. This ensure the fabric moves and breathes with your body. No unnecessary overheating, plus maximum comfort create a sensational ride experience.
- One seam on the entire construction.
- Integrated back panel (some riders forego a base layer whilst using these shorts).
- ColdBlack - a treatment applied to the fabric that helps reflect the sun's rays. This keeps your legs the right temperature and adds an extra level of UV protection.
- Pro developed chamois.
- Premium fabric. 2 way breathable and 4 way stretch.
- Premium fit - Slight compression feel.

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.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked service - you will receive a tracking code with your order once it is shipped.
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.
