Designing Women's Cycling Apparel

I've never had a problem with leg grippers digging into my thighs. Quite the opposite, actually, while the rest of the short fits fine.

I really wish more jerseys had a zippered pocket so my ID and whatnot doesn't fly out. I only have one, my beloved Foska jersey, with the fourth zippered pocket in addition to the normal three on the back. The company says it's for beer tokens.

Apparently cycling gear is designed for stick people. I could stand to loose a few pounds, certainly, but jerseys generally fit fine or even loose through the waist. I have to go up a size to accomodate my boobs. And I'm a B-cup.

Collars. I like the ones like these. I don't like regular collars fully zipped. I feel slightly like I'm being choked.

Had to look that one up but I totally agree.
As a long waisted, narrowed hipped woman I have nothing to hold up the short-waisted shorts. Plus, I have a vertical c-section scar that I like to cover up. I am waiting for a two piece swimsuit with a high waist that isn't a total granny cut too.

In that case, you'll love Louis Garneau, Zoot, Tyr... Smaller than average leg hole openings. Our customer service staff is happy to make suggestions.

Thanks, Susan, thats' good to know. I've had good luck with the Sugoi Evolution shorts as well. I'm hoping it'll improve as I put a little more muscle bulk on my quads to make up for all the fat I've lost...
