Cycling isn’t just about fitness—it’s about enjoyment, fresh air, and discovering new places at your own pace. Whether you're exploring local trails, cycling through your favourite park, or simply riding around town, comfort is key to making the most of your leisure ride. And what’s better than being comfortable in gear that’s also kind to the planet? Chic à Vélo’s ladies' padded cycling knickers, made from sustainable and recycled fabrics, offer the perfect blend of comfort, performance, and eco-conscious design.

Why Padded Cycling Knickers Are Perfect for Leisure Cycling

At first, you might think that padded cycling knickers are only necessary for intense, long-distance rides. However, even if you're just going out for a casual ride, these knickers can drastically improve your comfort. The cushioning and breathable fabrics help prevent chafing, minimize discomfort, and make each ride smoother. Whether you're cycling for an hour or a few minutes, comfort is essential—and we've designed these knickersto keep you at ease, no matter the ride.

The Comfort and Eco-Friendly Benefits of our Ladies’ Padded Cycling Knickers

• Say goodbye to discomfort and chafing

When you're cycling for leisure, the last thing you want to worry about is discomfort. Padded cycling knickers reduce the friction between your skin and the saddle, helping to prevent chafing and soreness. This means you enjoy the sights and sounds of your ride without being distracted by discomfort.

• Tailored for the female body

We designed these knickers with comfort in mind for women. The chamois (padding), specifically made for the female body, is placed to provide support exactly where it’s needed. The elasticated waistband and leg openings offer a snug fit without being too tight or restrictive. This fit ensures you have the freedom to move naturally while riding, making it easier to pedal comfortably through your leisure rides.

• Flat seam design

Flat seams mean less irritation. Our knickers have smooth, flat seams for added comfort.

• Eco-friendly fabrics for a greener ride

The Chic à Vélo cycling brand prioritises sustainability and our padded cycling knickers are made from recycled polyester with organic cotton labels. These eco-friendly fabrics help reduce the demand for virgin materials, lessen environmental impact, and keep your cycling gear in line with your eco-conscious values. Opting for garments made from recycled materials means your cycling apparel is helping to reduce waste and give new life to old fabrics.

• Breathable and light
  

For those warmer days when you're out on a relaxed ride, breathable fabrics are key. We've used moisture-wicking materials that keep you dry and cool, even when you're enjoying the sun. You won’t feel overheated or sticky, which makes for a much more pleasant experience.

• Easy to layer and wear under your favourite shorts, leggings or cropped pants
  

Another great feature of padded cycling knickers is how versatile they are. Wear them as an underlayer beneath your favourite shorts, leggings, cropped trousers or even skirt! This flexibility allows you to pair them with whatever outerwear works best for your style, whether it's for a casual park ride or a relaxed afternoon exploring local paths.

• Style and function combined

Our padded cycling knickers are available in a fashionable boxer style, so you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort.

Why Sustainable Cycling Gear Matters

Opting for sustainable cycling apparel goes beyond just comfort and performance—it’s about making conscious choices for the environment. With the growing impact of fast fashion and the activewear industry’s shift toward more eco-friendly practices, choosing gear made from recycled materials helps reduce waste and energy consumption, making your ride a little greener.
