De Marchi

The De Marchi Women's Contour is a stylish pair of shorts. Available in black with red accents or a racier red with black accents, either will appeal to those looking for something a bit different from the usual plain black.

De Marchi's aptly named Pure Classic Italian-made Merino wool mix jersey is an absolute beauty – the styling is so cool it’ll freeze your fingers. It might not make you ride like Jacques Anquetil or Fausto Coppi, but at least you’ll look the part.

Made from a blend of lightweight merino wool and acrylic, it’s soft next to your skin – not at all scratchy – and it’s stretchy enough for a classic close fit without any tightness. It feels really good on.

Pure Classic Lycra shorts both with bibs (£59.99) and without with Elastic Interface Technology (EIT) inserts in various widths and formats to suit men and women for a start but also different widths and weight for intended use. For example their 'IDS' insert is incredibly narrow but suitable, according to De Marchi, for super endurance riding.
