Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's
These women's Novara Bonita double-layer mountain bike shorts withstand trail abuse, and their stretch-mesh liner and built-in chamois ensure comfort.
- Sturdy, 2-way stretch outer shorts move with you while enduring heavy use and resisting abrasion; wicking finish disperses moisture for fast drying
- Moisture-wicking polyester stretch-mesh liner shorts allow ample ventilation and have a women-specific, Novara Mountain chamois that conforms to body contours
- Chamois features a top layer of breathable foam, a middle layer of springy air-mesh and a bottom layer of thin, resilient foam to enhance comfort in the saddle
- Microfiber cover wicks moisture away
- Silicone grippers keep liner shorts' hems in place
- Twin hand pockets and 2 concealed zippered thigh pockets provide storage options; zippered thigh pockets double as vents when left open/unzipped
- Snap-closure waistband has a zipper fly; 2 rear rip-and-stick webbing tabs let you dial in the fit
- With a UPF 50+ rating, fabric provides excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet rays
Imported.

Comments about Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's:
This is my first pair of non-lycra bike shorts and can't believe I waited so long! They are comfortable and so much more flattering than the lycra for wearing around town. I like the snap pocket for my cell phone or a key, the length is perfect, have ridden them in rain and the water literally runs off rather than soaking in so I can stay warm & dry.

I use these shorts for rides up to 15 miles. Prior to these shorts I was really feeling my seat. I love them and may even have to get them in Brown. Very comfortable and makes my rides much more comfortable!

Wasen't sure I was going to like these shorts. They seemed kind of bulky but used them for a couple 3 hr bike rides and they were GREAT!

Comments about Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's:
I am 63 years old and do not care for the traditional tight biking shorts but love my new Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts. They have great padding, they are very stretchy, great for long bike rides (40 plus K)and wash well. They are a little big around the waist but do have tabs that adjust. I would also have liked deeper front pockets

Comments about Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's:
I LOVE these shorts! I wish they made them with other outer shell colors! I now have TWO pairs.
The ONLY thing that would make them better, as another reviewer said, is to have a snap in liner instead of the permanent loops.
The chamois is very comfy, the outer shell is really stretchy so they don't get tight (like the Mia Gel shorts) when you are bent over the bars.

These are the most comfortable shorts I've owned. Padding is good. They don't ride up or pinch. I will definitely get another pair.

Comments about Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's:
Love these shorts - great fit, ridiculously comfy - they've passed the 50 mile test. Pretty decent chamois in the under shorts, which can be easily separated from the outer shorts by snipping the little ribbons. I think this is the intention of the manufacturer. Sometimes I use the padded under shorts with a skirt for casual rides. Use the outer shorts without the liner for other activities (kayak, canoe - they dry fast!) Nice zippered pockets on the legs.

Comments about Novara Bonita Double Bike Shorts - Women's:
ALMOST perfect! By far the best non-spandex bike shorts I've found. Great fit and comfort. Padding is very effective but not bulky. The liner is permanently attached to the shorts at the waist with three small ribbons. I cut them to make washing easier, but why not attach the liner with snaps? [...]
