If you want to look chic in the saddle, check out this pair from the stylish French brand from Nice. They’re
understated, stretchy yet supportive, and come in a range of colours including the very smart “anthracite”
grey we tested or even red for the really brave. The canny designers have used CyTech’s top flight Elastic
Interface seat pad and there are laser-cut legs with silicone bead grippers to hold them in place. They’re
pretty thin, with a breathable mesh back and straps, so are ideal for really hot conditions. We’ve worn
plenty of Café du Cycliste over the past few seasons and it’s always stood up well to life on the road.
Stolen Goat orkaan weatherproof bib shorts: £115, Stolen Goat
No one wants to see wet and chilly days in the summer – but you can bet your bottom dollar we’re going to
have a few. Here’s the perfect pair for when the weather takes a turn for the worst. They’re slightly fleecy
inside as well as being wind and water resistant. Paired with a set of knee or leg warmers they should see
you through well into the autumn and you’ll be able to dig them out again in early spring.
