Description
Bicycling magazine's Editors' Choice.
The shorter length version of our most popular Bella Short is an ideal choice for shorter riders and higher tan lines. The Terry Bella is one of the best cycling shorts available to women. Universally loved for its style, fit and all-day comfort, the Bella has all the best features, Terry's Flex Air chamois and just the right level of compression for keeping you happily in the saddle all day. Choose Bella if you want the best bike short made for women, ride frequently and aggressively, and like to support products made in the USA. But don't just take our word for it – here's what the editors at Bicycling have to say:
"Our female testers had a tough decision to make, but ultimately voted the Bella Short their fave for features such as its distinctive hot-pink perforated chamois, which delivered on its promise for increased comfort and breathability by wicking away moisture so riders didn't feel like 'I'd wet my shorts after a ride'. They nylon/spandex fabric felt slick and fast, with dark pink or gray stitching that provided just the right amount of flair. The nonelastic front waist should be the standard for shorts: it gives a biblike feel without the hassle of straps or the bathroom antics of bibs. Also, the fit is good as it always is with Terry and the silicone grippers were itch free."
Proudly designed, cut and sewn in the USA at a green energy-certified facility, supporting local jobs and the highest standards in quality and fit.

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
A Must Buy !
"I have purchased in total 8 pairs . These are perfect for short women like myself. At 5’3 they are great for long rides. I live in Florida which the shorter length is needed for our long hot and humid summers! You won’t be sorry…."
Perfect fit
"Love these shorts. The shorter inseam is perfect for someone who is 5’2 Very comfortable with good compression."
Bella bike short / short
"Just got back from a ride wearing the new shorts. Absolutely five stars! The first few minutes of the ride I knew these shorts were perfect. Legs don’t ride up and the padding is perfect. I just finished a 50 miler yesterday and riding the next day with the new bike shorts by Terry I felt great! I usually wear size 10 pants - was shocked that I was an extra large in these shorts !"
Too much compression for me.
"Too much compression for me. I highly recommend going a size up."
Had to purchase a size
"Had to purchase a size larger than I normally buy from Athleta. The hem at the bottom of the legs were tighter than I would like. But did get better after wearing. I dont' have large legs. Otherwise they did improve the comfort of bike riding/"
Best bike shorts ever!
"Love these shorts, they are now my go to! Have both the 5 and 8 inch! So comfortable!"
Bella Bike Short - short
"The fabric is very thin and it runs smaller than the measurements provided. Size up one size than what you’d normally wear."
Love these shorts
"Love these shorts - regular length is too long for my legs"
They work
"I'm 5'4", 116 lbs and I had a well fitting pair of the Bella "short " in the same style, but the last pair I ordered were just too short and the legs rode up. These are pretty long, coming down just above my knees, but are more comfortable overall and better for cooler weather. The elastic band at the knee is a little loose, but they don't ride up. The fit everywhere else is perfect. I like the fabric a lot. I wish they came in a 7" length as that would be perfect for my size."
