Chamois
Comfort Chamois:
Soft, hygienic, stretch chamois with anatomical shaping for comfort; seamless, monodensity foam with naturally antibacterial cover fabric. Made in Italy. 

Compare all chamois choices.
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

Recommend for pure comfort & ease!

"Compression is right up my alley, which is to say COMFORTABLE! Waistband is SO smooth & feels SO good. I am 5’1” 100 pounds & ordered a small, which is perfect!"

Margaret D. (5/5)

Actif bike short

"I love the Actif bike short, light weight and comfy and sure can’t beat the price!"

Debra O. (5/5)

Very soft, and narrow chamois

"These are the best fit for me so far. Very comfortable and soft waistband. I find most chamois too wide, this one is narrow and doesn't push into my thighs."

Alice M. (5/5)

Don't buy if you're short

"I wanted to love these, saw that it was 8" inseam and thought I could still wear them, but not to my knees! The material was soft and felt great on, but the waist band in a S, was too stretched out, no elastic and wouldn't stay put even while just trying on! An XS might work in waist but still too long. Wish designers would consider the vertically challenged athletes out there, not everyone is a model sized AMAZON woman with legs for days!! Need petite sizing in athletic apparel like others. Especially when you're an XS/S in bottoms but larger from waist up but still barely 5'2 with muscular build. Also ordered the only 5" on the site, but it's a very light chamois for training, love the length but won't do for long rides. Sadly returned and still searching!!"

So comfortable!

"Very comfortable. Easy to Don and doff. I love the leg band fit! Not binding and lays down comfortably"

Lynn C. (5/5)

Comfortable

"I would like just a little more padding on the chamois part, but otherwise very well-made and comfortable. I am happy with my purchase."

Beth (4/5)

GREAT SHORTS

"I BOUGHT THESE SHORTS, AS WELL AS THE CAPRIS. I LIKE THE COLOR AND FIT. I HAVE YET TO TRY THEM ON A RIDE, SO I CANNOT COMMENT ON COMFORT. I BOUGHT MY REGULAR SIZE. MEDIUM 145 LBS"

Kim A. (5/5)

Good Addition to Cycling Wardrobe

"Love that these shorts are light weight for summer. Padding is adequate, not real heavy which is probably all right for short rides."

Cathy K. (4/5)

fit is great but

"I love the material and the fit but the waist band flips over and won't stay put"

Sara F. (3/5)

Great short for the price!!

"This short comes at a great price point and keeps me comfortable for rides up to 2 hours!!"
