As more and more of us take to quiet off-road tracks, seeking an escape from increasing traffic and to get back to the simple thrill of cycling through beautiful countryside, we still want the same comfort from our off-road kit as we enjoy on road. Sportful have addressed this move towards all-surface riding with their Giara range, and here, in particular, the Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts. The cut is designed for a slightly more upright riding position and the fabric is more durable to take on trailside vegetation and come through unscathed. To give you extra load carrying capacity you'll find mesh pockets on the back of the bibs and a thigh pocket for easy access to gels and bars. This allows extra space in bar and saddlebags for more kit. The lie-flat bibs use an open mesh so you'll find that ventilation is optimised and sweat is wicked away for dryness all ride long. For on-the-saddle comfort, Sportful have turned to their exemplary Women's Total Comfort Seat Pad. With continuously variable closed-cell urethane foam of up to 18 mm thickness, it gives you the highest level of support and vibration absorption across rough terrain. Every detail of the pad has a singular focus on comfort, eliminating chafing and keeping the seat pad dry as you build up body heat. The Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts are all about the thrill of adventure and the simple enjoyment of a bike ride on new or old routes made fresh and exciting thanks to two wheels that can take you anywhere.
Sportful have used their race technical know-how and fabric knowledge to create a performance-orientated baggy outer short that's at home across a wide range of cycling conditions. Pedalling flexibility comes by the way of the durable 2-way stretch fabric and inner stretch panels. This also lets you move easily as you react to changes in grip and terrain. An adjustable waist, zippered fly with double button upper closure and waist gripper all take care of keeping your shorts perfectly in place too. For longer days in the saddle, you'll welcome the extra storage provided by both the 2 rear mesh pockets and mesh thigh pockets. There's no excuse to run out of food or leave essentials spares at home now. And for rides that stretch off into the fading light of evening, reflective trim catches the eye when caught in headlamps or under street lights.

When two-wheeled adventure calls but the weather is looking on the cold side, the Women's Giara Layer Vest is the perfect body warmer to choose. This multi-layer gilet is both warm and breathable, just right for a ride where pace and effort levels can vary wildly as the terrain changes. Biting cold winds are no problem thanks to the windproof outer layer. Elsewhere, the 3D polyester fabric inside and brushed double-layer back are both impressively good at dealing with any perspiration you build up when cycling. And once you add the Thermore® insulation, this is a vest with far more warmth than your traditional cycling gilet. Mesh chest pockets give you extra storage beyond your cycling jersey and reflective trims add eye-catching detail when you're too busy enjoying your ride to end it anytime before nightfall.
The Women's Giara Shorts are all about comfort when you hit rougher terrain in search of new two-wheeled adventures. Using a 220g Lycra material you can be confident that you'll enjoy excellent muscle support and pedalling freedom and with flatlock stitching throughout you'll be chafe-free all ride long. Smooth lie-flat laser-cut leg bands prevent the shorts from riding up and a deep waistband with cross-over design ensures easy breathing and comfort as you tick off the miles. The Women's Giara Shorts sees a women's specific BodyFit Pro seat pad at their heart, a simple smooth surface hides the advanced technology on the inside. Developed with professional cyclists to fit perfectly when taking on mile after mile, the long-distance comfort is improved thanks to excellent moisture management, achieved by perforating the top layer of foam. Next, the infinitely variable thickness of padding places just the right amount of support exactly where you need it most and minimises bulk elsewhere. And finally, the women's specific anatomic shape and seamless construction work together to eliminate chafing and rubbing as you pedal along an endless gravel road.
Constructed from a four-way stretch fabric, the Giara Over Shorts have a tailored cut that's not too tight but then again not too baggy so you'll have easy pedalling on the bike and smooth style when you're off the bike. The Giara shorts also feature a DWR treatment keeping dust, dirt and splashes at bay. Off the bike, style is taken care of with jean style pockets and belt loops so you can wear them around town and not look 'bikey' but on the bike, the excellent breathability keeps you fresh as you head off to enjoy some gravel roads and flowing trails. These are shorts that prove cycling isn't all about skin tight, go faster kit - sometimes casual performance is king.

The Giara jersey has been designed for riders who want an elegant style when hitting rough gravel roads and tracks. With its toned-down styling that doesn’t scream “bike racer,” it’s at home on epic all-day rides but also doesn’t look out of place as you pedal out of the city. The Giara gets a casual performance cut and subtle styling that easily adapts to asphalt, gravel or coffee stops and works perfectly with race or baggy shorts - it's style with substance.
A short specifically designed for use with a gravel bike: a special pad and three mesh pockets to increase the cargo capacity. Whether you want to tackle Dirty Kanza or a gravel experience of many hours (or days), you won't be able to do without it. WHO IS IT FOR? For those who like to push their limits on gravel. For those who spend many hours in the saddle or participate in gravel races and are looking for the best ally able to provide comfort, performance, visibility, and additional pocket capacity. The feedback we receive on our top-of-the-line gravel short is, in most cases, quite direct and positive. Those who have tried it have fallen in love with it for a number of reasons that make it our absolute favorite product for gravel races or long-distance adventures. Let’s start with the things you’ll notice immediately: two back pockets and a mesh side pocket on the left leg. We designed them because we know how important it is to have plenty of space on these occasions. Energy bars, bananas, knives, lighters, gloves, arm warmers — in recent years we’ve seen our customers put pretty much everything in those pockets! Next up, the fit: it’s a garment with a rather race-oriented approach. The first time you put it on, it will seem quite compressive due to its structure and the very important upper part that will help you on longer rides. Once you’re on the bike, though, you won’t even notice it this is the strong point of this garment. A race fit offering almost “tourist-level” comfort. The seat pad is our DMS pad, designed specifically for gravel, which combines different density levels with a smaller shape than other pads. We’ve placed and sewn it in a different position than what we use for our road shorts, to perfectly correspond to the position of the body — which is different on a gravel bike — and to the necessary movement on the roughest roads. And for those who also ride at night, there are, of course, reflective details on the sides of the legs, for maximum visibility. WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT? Additional mesh pockets, DMS gravel-specific seat pad. The highest-performance short in our gravel line. Tried and tested in the most difficult races and trails in the world. PRODUCT FEATURES Mesh cargo pocket on left side and 2 pockets on back Reflective bands on lower part of legs Anatomic design for greater comfort and airflow
