It can be hard to choose the right kit when cycling, and that is particularly true during autumn and spring when the weather is fickle, sunshine one minute and a sharp rain shower the next. However thanks to the Women's Fiandre NoRain Bib Shorts you're nicely covered whatever the weather. Made from NoRain Thermal fabric, these shorts are warm and fleecy on the inside while Nanotechnology on the outside will keep the rain out for longer than your standard shorts. Sportful have also minimised the number of seams used so water has an even harder time of getting inside while mesh bib straps let sweat escape and contribute to a dry and comfortable feel even if you are pushing the pace harder. Women's Total Comfort Pro Seat Pad You'll also benefit from the inclusion of the Women's Total Comfort Pro pad inside. Taking all the innovations from the Total Comfort pad, Sportful reduces the padding depth slightly, making the pad suited to riders who prefer a thinner feel. You still get incredible comfort and support but with a touch less bulk - ideal for experienced riders on a multi-day tour or tackling long-distance training rides. Perfect on their own when riding on mild but damp days or paired with knee or leg warmers as the temperatures cool, the Women's Fiandre No Rain Bib Shorts are a great addition to any keen cyclists' kit bag.

To the back of the gilet, NoRain Light fabric lets sweat out but prevents rain showers getting in. It's high-stretch properties also gives a superb fit. Talking of stretch, the unidirectional stretch on the back also provides excellent support for the 3 rear pockets. Load them up for a day on the bike and they'll not sag. The length of the back has been extended compared to previous generations so you'll now enjoy more wheel spray protection too.

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.
