Rapha has introduced two new styles to its women’s category: Women’s All Day Leggings and Women’s All Day Shorts. High waisted, with no padding, the company notes that… ‘both styles are designed to make you feel as comfortable on the bike for a casual ride around town, as off it for a virtual yoga class or stroll through the park.’
Available in three colours, the All Day Leggings and All Day Shorts offer up the same technical performance as Rapha’s Classic collection, now adapted for everyday use.
- Fabric: soft, high-stretch material, which incorporates recycled nylon fibres, is sweat-wicking and quick-drying, plus durable against saddle abrasion, helping the leggings and shorts last longer.
- Fit: a high waist and double-layer waistband prevent rolling while strategically placed silicone dots on the hem help to ensure the shorts won’t bunch or ride up when in motion. The fit is optimised for on bike position, meaning the leggings and shorts are slightly higher on the back to make sure the lower back is covered while in a riding position. Additionally, the front waistband has a low profile bonded finish to give comfort when on the bike.
- Function: carefully-positioned reflective detailing helps to be seen on the road. Cuffs fold up to reveal striking high-vis pink with a reflective Rapha logo, added for visibility in low lighting. These are designed to be concealed while off the bike and are simply revealed by flipping up the leg hem of the legging.
Both styles feature a pocket, for easy access to phone and other essentials. Available in three colours: Black, Navy/Dark Navy and Purple/Violet, the Women’s All Day Leggings are priced at £80.00; the Women’s All Day Shorts are £60.00
