6 OF THE BEST WOMEN’S SHORTS

MADISON ZENA

£59.99 www.freewheel.co.uk

SO GOOD… Available in bright turquoise or stealthy black, the sturdy-feeling Zenas are high-waisted, loose-fitting and long in the leg (with a 13.5in inseam on our UK size 12 pair.) The fit is good, if a little generous around the waist. Thankfully, it’s easy to cinch this in using the external Velcro tabs. The Madison shorts feature a gusseted panel for comfort, silicone print inside the rear waistband to help stop them from falling down and a secure zip-and-double-popper closure. They’re constructed from a midweight polyester/elastane-blend material that’s both breathable and stretchy in all directions, with a DWR (durable water repellent) coating to repel light rain and puddle splashes. We found them comfortable for rides in milder spring and autumn weather.
