Description
You'll find just the right amount of print, length, compression and padding in Terry's Soleil Capri. As with all our cycling bottoms, the design goal was comfort and performance first, but with the additional desire to offer UPF 50+ protective fabric to pair up with its Soleil top counterparts. Equipped with Terry's Fleet Air chamois with enough padding and ventilation for a full day on the bike.

Terry proudly manufactures this capri in the USA at a green energy-certified sewing facility. Best quality, highest standards, local jobs.

product care
Remove your knickers and launder asap for best results as residual sweat may damage the chamois. Wash only in delicate cycle at 86 degrees. Use neutral non-aggressive detergents, keep like colors together and avoid dryers. If you use chamois butter/cream, your garment's ability to wick moisture will be greatly reduced and the durability of your chamois may be compromised. Note: we recommend that you wash new bottoms prior to use.

Questions & Answers

The Soleil Bike Capri is built for riders who spend full days in the saddle. It uses Terry's Fleet Air chamois, a seamless pad with multi-level foam and perforations for ventilation, described as having enough padding and breathability for a full day on the bike. The soft-wing construction reduces bulk at the inner thigh to help avoid chafing on longer efforts. If most of your riding stretches into endurance territory, the Soleil Bike Capri gives you knicker-length coverage with chamois support sized for the distance.

Sun protection is the Soleil Bike Capri's defining purpose. It's made with UPF 50+ protective fabric, designed specifically to coordinate with Terry's Soleil tops so your legs stay covered through hours of exposure on bright days. Riders who ride through summer and want leg coverage less for warmth and more for shielding skin from the sun tend to find the Soleil Bike Capri a natural fit. The 18 inch knicker inseam extends that protection below the knee without committing to full tights.

The Soleil Bike Capri is designed as part of Terry's coordinated Soleil line, sharing both the UPF 50+ protective fabric and a print meant to pair with the Soleil tops. If a matched print-and-protection look matters to you, confirm you're pairing the Soleil Bike Capri with its intended Soleil top counterpart so the coordination reads as intended. For riders who value a put-together kit while getting genuine sun coverage and all-day chamois support, the Soleil Bike Capri delivers both at once.

The Soleil Bike Capri has a center-back waist pocket with a 6 inch exposed zipper, sized to hold a smartphone. This matters because some riders expect a side-hip pocket for easy reach while riding. On the Soleil Bike Capri, the pocket sits at the center back of the waist instead. If you specifically want side-hip pocket access, the Spinnaker Bike Capri offers that placement while keeping a knicker-length cut, so it's worth comparing the two before deciding.

The Soleil Bike Capri offers moderate compression, which supports the legs without the maximum squeeze of a high-compression performance bottom. Riders who want a secure, supportive feel but dislike a tightly compressive fit tend to appreciate this balance. If you prefer minimal or no compression and a looser feel, the Soleil Bike Capri may feel more supportive than you want. For a relaxed, non-compression knicker aesthetic, Terry's Vista BTK Bike Knicker with its liner option is a better direction to explore.

The Soleil Bike Capri is built as a sun-protection piece, using UPF 50+ fabric rather than warm construction, so it isn't meant to add warmth in cold conditions. For chilly shoulder-season rides at a similar length, the Thermal Hi-Rise Bike Capri is made with cozy fabric for when temperatures drop. For genuinely cold rides, a full-length tight like the Thermal Bike Tight is the better fit. Choose the Soleil Bike Capri when your priority is sun coverage and all-day comfort in warm weather.

Yes, Terry manufactures the Soleil Bike Capri in the USA at a green energy-certified sewing facility. For riders who prioritize domestic manufacturing and want to know where their apparel is made, this is a meaningful part of the Soleil Bike Capri's story. The Fleet Air chamois itself is made in Italy using Elastic Interface Technology, then paired with the US-sewn capri. It reflects Terry's decades of building women's cycling apparel with comfort and construction quality as the starting point rather than an afterthought.

The Soleil Bike Capri has an 18 inch inseam, placing it at standard knicker length with coverage below the knee. Its sculpted 6-panel fit with print insets at the lower leg is cut specifically for women. This length suits riders who want more leg coverage than a short provides without stepping up to full tights, whether for sun protection or personal preference. If you want short-length coverage with the same quality of chamois support, Terry's performance shorts such as the Breakaway Bike Short are worth considering instead.
