Essential Cycling Shorts - Black

Great cycling shorts—I was worried that the lack of straps might put a little pressure on my stomach, but not at all. super comfortable in every way—I tested them on a 280-km ride in one go, and they have great cushioning in the seat area. I just experienced very slight chafing in the crotch area during the last few kilometers, but that’s normal given the distance, and I hadn’t applied any anti-chafing cream. No dampness at all, despite the heat over the last 40 km. Now I just need to test it when I’m on my period, but so far it’s been flawless and well worth it! I’d recommend it without hesitation!!

Well-cut
Very comfortable fabric, very soft, beautiful color

Perfect!

Perfect

I haven't tested them on a ride yet, but they fit perfectly—I can tell I'm going to feel great in these cycling shorts. They're comfortable, soft, and high-quality!

Perfect comfort. Easy to care for, and the color is nice.

Great for periods, and the pad is nice and wide

Very comfortable for long distances—the fabric is super nice and it's really soft 😊

Very comfortable. I'm thrilled with my purchase.

I haven't tested them out on a bike yet, but they felt very comfortable when I tried them on—they don't squeeze my stomach or thighs—and you can really see the difference in the cut because there's more room for the butt compared to cycling shorts designed for men.
I also really like the chocolate color.

These essential cycling shorts are very comfortable; the cut provides good support and stays in place.
The size chart is accurate!

I'm thrilled with my purchase—the cut: every detail is thoughtfully designed to flatter the female figure, but also the comfort, the length, and the softness of the fabric. The question isn't whether I'll buy it again in another color, but when!

Perfect, super comfortable—it doesn't ride up to the thighs

Very comfortable, very soft fabric, good support, and the chamois fits snugly.
I am very satisfied with this product.
Thank you and congratulations on what you do, on your work in adapting sportswear for women, and on the quality of your products! Long live Wilma!!

So comfortable! I love the fit, the fabric, and the color 💚

Excellent!

Unbeatable! Finally, THE cycling shorts designed for women. Try them and you’ll love them—thanks, Wilma! I’m usually between two sizes (S and M), so I went with the larger one (M), and they fit perfectly.

Tried it for the first time (not during my period, but because I was hot—and it absorbs sweat really well too, so I came home feeling dry!). The fit is perfect—I followed the size guide. It doesn't squeeze my waist and stays in place. I'm so happy 🤩

These cycling shorts are really comfortable and flattering. The color is unique, too, and the fabric feels nice to the touch. The only thing missing is a version with multicolored patterns. At this price, you might even consider getting a few pairs....

Comfortable, no chafing—I went up a size after reading the reviews. I'm thrilled.

I was looking for a comfortable garment designed for the female body, and I found it! Since I’m getting older, I no longer have periods, but sitting on the saddle has also become more uncomfortable, and the padding works perfectly for me. I agree with all the previous reviews—you should choose a size larger than your usual size.

Very comfortable to wear, soft and cozy

I was worried about the waistband because I'm self-conscious about my love handles, but I was really surprised—the waistband actually makes me look slimmer, the fabric is lightweight, and it doesn't squeeze my stomach at all. I ordered a size L even though I usually wear a 38–40, but I wanted comfort, and the support around the thighs is good—so I might have felt too tight in a size M. Depending on body type, we won’t all have the same experience. The pad is super comfortable, too!!! It’s like a real cushion under your butt :)

Thank you to Customer Service for agreeing to exchange the bra that was too small—which I had returned via Mondial Relais—directly at the Lyon store.

I don’t know why sizes are designed and labeled this way, but the 3XL runs too small. I had to return the item, and since I couldn’t order a larger size, it’s very frustrating because larger sizes aren’t always available in sportswear. I’m 1.68 meters tall and usually wear a size XL or XXL depending on the brand; when it comes to cycling gear, I’m almost always forced to shop in the men’s section. I’m disappointed that a brand I like—and that’s committed to women—doesn’t fit me.

Great shorts—I wore them on a week-long bike trip during my period, and they’re easy to wash by hand. They run a bit short; they’d be better if they were just a tad longer for taller women. If you’re between sizes, go with the larger one.

Great fit and very comfortable.
I chose my usual size.

I bought the same one in green last year, and it’s absolutely perfect (and I mean that). So I bought the black one again this year. The black one runs a little smaller than the green one, so it’s just a tiny bit less comfortable (especially after a meal), but it’s still really great. So I recommend always going up a size if you’re between sizes. I’d say it’s missing a pocket for your phone, but that’s not the most important thing—for cycling (for me, that means bike trips, so many hours in the saddle), they’re really great! Much more comfortable than any others I’ve tried!

A big thank you to everyone at Wilma for the quality of these cycling shorts (according to my wife) and, above all, for being so flexible and efficient in exchanging them for the right size. A high-quality product for bike rides! Be careful, though—the foam tends to bleed a lot when washed.

I've only tried on my new cycling shorts twice. They seem comfortable and have more padding than the ones I've had before. They aren't too tight around the thighs, which is really nice. However, I wish the waist were just a little higher.
