essential-cycling-pant, DescriptionEssential for every adventure.Inspired by our best-selling Essential Short, The Essential Cycling Pant is a full-length cycling legging designed for long rides. We challenged ourselves to create the highest-performing cycling pant for women without the need for bib straps that some riders find uncomfortable or inconvenient. And it was a challenge! Most non-bib products available for women are prone to a couple of common issues: they dig in at our soft midsections, begin to slip and sag after a few hours in the saddle, and most frustrating of all, allow the chamois to shift against the saddle which can cause saddle sores, chafing, and discomfort.Our solution? A highly compressive cycling pant that stays put and performs at the highest level, yet provides easy access for mid-ride bathroom breaks. The super flattering, yoga-inspired waistband stays up all day without squeezing or pinching, and mesh paneling at the back of the knee provides ventilation as well as chic style lines.The Essential Cycling Pant is our newest staple in Machines' All Day Compression Fabric, made for all-day wear, and features our fan-favorite chamois graded for 6+ hours in the saddle. As always, we put fit first and this product was developed to perform at every shape, with sizing from X-Small through XXX-Large.FeaturesThe 27" Inseam makes for a versatile fit on many body shapes. The Essential Pant hits slightly above the ankle on taller riders, and full length on those who are petite. Machines' All Day Compression fabric is a soft, matte, and supports the body's curves with mid-level compression. It offers less compression than our Signature Compression fabric, for a slightly more forgiving wear. The Essential Pant features the same fan-favorite chamois as Machines' iconic Endurance Bib. It's graded for 6+ hours in the saddle, bacteriostatic to inhibit infections, and wide enough for most women's sit bones.The yoga-inspired waistband is revolutionary: compressive enough to stay up without sagging, but soft enough to eliminate elastic bands that dig when in the riding position. Machines' iconic paneled construction combines style and a flattering sleek silhouette.UPF 50+ Sun ProtectionHighest quality European fabric is compressive, moisture-wicking, and silky soft to the touch.SEE THE LOOKBOOKModel MeasurementsLana is wearing size X-Large // Model is 5'11" / bust 47" / waist 38" / hips 45.5"Christina is wearing size Small // Model is 5'9" / bust 35" / waist 29" / hips 38"Amber is wearing size Small // Model is 5'11" / bust 35" / waist 27" / hips 38" Need help determining your size?

Measure around the WIDEST POINT of the hips/bum. If you are between sizes or petite (5'3" or under), we recommend SIZING DOWN for a compressive fit. A snug fit is crucial to performance.
