Women's Black Adventure High Waisted Shorts
WOMEN'S SHOP
Casual style meets technical fabrics and sturdy accessories in this collection that’s designed to celebrate and enable a different approach to riding. For this collection, we scrapped the jerseys pockets in favour of simple loose-fitting tops, pocketed shorts and bike bags perfect for carrying your food, keys, phone and spares.
With a stretch mesh pocket on each leg, these versatile and practical shorts are great for everything from hitting the lanes on your road bike and running errands in town to ripping it through the gravel trails. Because when isn't it handy to have a few extra pockets.

Never underestimate the importance of a good chamois. It could literally make or break your ride.
At Attacus, we’ve always believed that the key to any good piece of cycling clothing is one that feels as comfortable and supportive after 24 hours as it does after just one. It’s why all of our Foundation bib shorts are fitted with our custom men's Foundation chamois pads - a top of the range endurance-focused pad developed to deliver all-day support.
Designed in collaboration with one of the world’s leading chamois manufacturers, Cytech Elastic Interface, this pad is the culmination of months of research and testing. Designed to relieve common pelvic pressure points which we identified can cause discomfort on longer rides, the pad is constructed from fine layers of high density foam which provide lasting cushioned support. It’s what makes the shorts perfect for epic adventures, as well as shorter days on the road. Meanwhile its neutral, single width not only offers a more anatomical fit, but makes it compatible with virtually any saddle.
It's this commitment to comfort that means our shorts and tights are now trusted by athletes who have taken on some of the world's toughest tests of endurance - from the Transcontinental and Silk Road Mountain Races to Double Everesting and National 24-Hour Time Trialling.
Made from recycled materials, this eco-friendly pad is also woven together with yarns that have antibacterial properties, providing better protection for multi day activities. It’s even perforated to speed drying times.
Seriously, it’s a dream to sit on.

SIZE GUIDE
The technical fabrics in our bib shorts are designed for movement, and will naturally stretch. It's why you may find you fit into more than one size bracket. So to help you find the best fit for you, we recommend you follow the steps below.
HOW TO MEASURE UP
- WAIST/BELLY: Start by measuring your waist/belly all the way around at the fullest part. This'll usually be around your belly button. Don't rely on your jeans or trousers waist size. Then use this number to see where you fall on our size chart. If your chest and belly measurements put you in two different size brackets, we'd recommend opting for the larger size.
- INSIDE LEG LENGTH: This number gives the literal length of the shorts. Use the leg length number to work out how each size will fit on you, and make sure you're happy with the length. To get an accurate gauge of leg length, start from the highest point of your in-seam and measure downward.
- FIT: Do you fall into more than one size bracket? Then we'd recommend considering how you want your kit to fit. Do you like it close fitting? Or prefer it a little looser? Make sure your chosen size selection reflects how you like to wear it.
- STILL IN DOUBT? GET IN TOUCH: If you're still unsure, email us on hello@attacus.cc and we'll be happy to assist you. We'll always start by asking if you've measured yourself and where your measurements put you on our size chart, so it's definitely worth doing this first. We may then be able to offer a bit of extra guidance on how it'll fit.

CARE GUIDE
All of our garments are made with high quality technical fabrics which, with a bit of TLC, have been designed to last you many seasons of riding.
CLOTHING
Washing
Machine wash on a low spin with similar colours at no higher than 30°C (86°F). Use non-biological detergent only and avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Close all clasps and fastenings on your cycle kit – and any other garments mixed in with your kit – when washing. Velcro closures and clasps can catch on stitching and damage your garments.
Drying
Do not tumble dry. Hang up and leave to dry naturally away from direct sunlight to prevent wear. Do not place directly on a hot radiator.
COLOUR
While we do our best to accurately display the true colours of our garments in all photography on our website, sometimes the actual colour may vary in real life. This is because every computer/phone monitor has a different capability to display colours, and that everyone sees these colours differently.
