Women's bike shorts and jerseys: Petite sizes

708 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  cyclelicious
Anyone make womens bike clothes in petite sizes? I'm trying to shop for my wife and finding it hard to find something that fits her well. Jerseys that fit across her chest are way too long, similar with shorts.

Have you tried the WL? There’s plenty of options for petite women: us larger women, not as much.

Shredly is the first that comes to mind for your wife. Kinda surprised she has a hard time tbh.

I'm the one having a hard time because I don't know where to look. My first thought was to shop locally so she could try stuff on but the Specialized/Fox/Bontrager stuff we've found has been less than ideal. Anything in a size 12 is cut for someone 6+ inches taller.

Shredly looks promising, thanks.
My wife has bought some stuff from a woman only bike apparel company called Terry.

She really likes it.

Almost every bike apparel company has a women's section and carry xs and s
Sombrio
Dakine

Fox
Trek
Specialized
Troy Lee
Endura

You should have no problem finding clothing. It's end of season so stocks are running low in sizes. Do you know your wife's size?

Even the big mail order companies like Chain Reaction, MEC, REI etc sell women's bike apparel

She's 5'2" with hips and muscular legs. Small and extra small definitely don't fit. A size 12 will fit her hips and waist but it will be cut for someone 6+" taller. Some non-bike clothing companies make a full range of sizes in a petite cut in addition to the normal cut. I was hoping someone did likewise for cycling clothes.
Lululemon carries a wide selection of "race" length jerseys ie shorter cut and larger sizes



I wear a lot of Lulu styles for biking, running and working out. It's stylish and has a broad range of sizes
