Hey everyone!
I’m looking for recommendations on women’s cycling clothing that fits snug and flattering, especially for a body type with a smaller upper body and larger thighs.
I’ve noticed that a lot of kits either fit well on top but feel too tight on the thighs, or fit the legs well but end up loose around the torso. I’m hoping to find brands or specific pieces that balance both that are also affordable.
Specifically looking for:
• Form-fitting tops/jerseys that aren’t baggy up top
• Bibs or shorts that comfortably fit larger thighs without digging in
• Good stretch + compression without feeling restrictive
If you’ve found brands or specific items that work well for this kind of fit, I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Thank you

If you haven’t already, you may try posting in r/ladycyclists. As man, I don’t have any other recommendations.
An interesting observation (I thought): near all the tops in the latest Santini collection are unisex. I’ve never found much difference in fit between men’s and women’s jerseys anyway.
Samsara ! Women owned company in Vancouver. They make only women’s specific cycling kit !
Same problem and frustration.
I just got some Black Bibs that I like for big thighs, get the nicer line (+$10) for less sausage squeeze on the legs.
For jerseys I get tons of compliment on my Voler jersey. I like Ralpha (runs small) and primal tops too.
