Men's Cycling Shorts

The best cycling shorts for men offer optimum comfort, excellent sweat management and adequate muscle compression. The key features to look for are high-quality chamois, well-placed seams to prevent chafing, an ergonomic fit, and models with straps (bibs) for an even more reliable fit. Cycling shorts with highly-breathable fabrics and mesh backs are highly valued for their ability to wick away perspiration and keep the body cool during long rides.

Ideally, try cycling shorts in person. If that’s not possible, it's essential to take accurate measurements, particularly of your waist and hips. Consult Mavic’s size guide to make sure you choose the product that best matches your measurements. It's important to note that cycling shorts are designed to be snug-fitting and provide some compression, so it's advisable to choose the smaller size if you're in-between sizes. 

To care for and wash men's cycling shorts correctly, we recommend washing them by hand or in the washing machine in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener, as this can damage the technical fibers. After washing, hang the shorts from the bottom (not from the braces) to dry in the open air, away from any source of direct heat. Never use a dryer, as this can cause the fabric to shrink or become misshapen. Do not  iron the shorts, as heat can damage the technical materials.
