Made of our sublime French nylon compression fabric with a satiny matte finish, you'll find the Prima to be a great performance short for rides of any distance.

Chamois
Flex Air Carbon Chamois:
Unique to Terry, the Flex Air family of cycling chamois offers the best shape and construction for women. The Flex Air Carbon is our premium chamois in this line thanks to a high performance fabric made of a blend of X-Tract with special channel structure and carbonium with carbon threading. This combination results in a higher level of moisture transfer, faster drying, natural anti-static and antimicrobial properties, and a softer surface fabric. Seamless chamois with 4-way stretch Elastic Interface Technology provides freedom of movement on the saddle; multi-level foam padding is perforated for increased breathability; soft wing construction reduces bulk at inner thigh to avoid chafing. Made in Italy.

product care
Remove your shorts 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.

Reviews

Great fit as long as you upsize 1 size

"I really like these -- great quality, I like the fit, I like the length (longer on my legs than the model, I'm 5'7" but I don't have long legs, and I like the slightly longer length). I ordered an XL. In most clothing sized that way, I would order a L, and a L in this short definitely would not have fit me. If I gain 5#, the XL will not fit me! Seems like a great product, just providing a fit review in case it helps someone else."

Ronnie M. (5/5)

Sadly fit poorly, waistband is too small

"I have purchased many Terry items over the past few years including my bike seat, other bike shorts and many shirts. I was really looking forward to trying these bike shorts out. I could tell from the minute I took them out of the package that the waistband looked really small and barely had any stretch to it. I am 5’4” 128 lbs athletic build and ordered a medium. I was worried they might be too roomy but unfortunately the waist was way too tight. It was about 2” smaller than my other Terry bike shorts. I was leary of ordering another pair so I opted to send them back and got charged for shipping on the return! Kinda dissappointing."

Pattie H. (2/5)

Perfect

"Perfect in every way. Wide silicone legs stay put without sausage leg. Chamois is comfortable and breathable. No chafing. Comfortable waist band."
