Smith Parallel D Max Polarized Sunglasses – Women’s

Throw on the Parallel D Max Sunglasses, tip your hat to Aunt Cindy, and roll out into traffic. Between the widened lens profile (hence the D) and the glare-killing polarized lens coating, your eyes won’t mind looking towards that floating ball of gas (the sun, not Auntie). The non-slip Megol nose and arm pads get stickier as you sweat so uneven surfaces have less of a chance to jar them loose, and the tapered lens shape helps reduce peripheral distortion. In addition to those functional benefits, you might even reel in some compliments regarding the smooth lines and minimalist styling.

Made with a breathable, supportive Lycra blend, the Escape Sugar will hold it’s shape whether you’re punching out intervals inside or stretching your legs on the roads for the first time in months.

ZOIC Henley Short-Sleeve Jersey – Women’s

Giro Chrono Sport Short – Women’s

Every bike ride doesn’t have to be a hammerfest, a snot-bubble TT, or an epic day of QOMs. Sometimes a ride can just be a ride, the kind of day when we leave stressful ambitions at home and are more interested in the arc of a smile and the turn of the cranks than rise and fall of power output graphs while segment hunting. Giro builds the Chrono Sport Women’s Shorts for those days, which makes them ideally suited for what so often turn out to be our favorite days in the saddle.

The Sport’s body is made from a nylon/spandex blend that’s shaped to distil the shorts down to the most basic level of long-mile functionality. The material lacks the compression of Giro’s top-tier Chrono Pro Shorts, but the shorts are finished with a stretch waist band and Giro’s Custom Sport Chamois, details that demonstrate Giro’s efforts to privilege comfort over flash.

Assos UMA GT Wind Jacket Summer – Women’s

Riding in Utah has taught us that the weather can change in a moment’s notice, so with that in mind, it’s never a bad idea to bring a lightweight shell on a ride, especially when it’s as lightweight, affordable, and packable as the UMA GT Wind Jacket Summer. It features a cut that’s specific to the female cyclist, and pared-down for the protection you need, fitting easily into your jersey pocket.

Up front, its ripstop LFoil Ultra textile provides protection from the wind and keeps rain and precipitation from hampering your ride while the side panels use its warp knit Glossy textile for breathability and a high level of stretch, ensuring a comfortable reach to the bars and the cycling-specific coverage you need, when you need it most. The whole lot is treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellency) to keep the material from wetting out in the rain. Its dual-layer collar offers comfort and protection while the raglan sleeves are optimized for a forward facing position and lowering the drag.

Cut in its body mapped, women’s Long Distance fit, it offers plenty of room and is easy to put over existing base layers and jerseys but still gives a nod to aerodynamics while packing the ideal blend of protection without bulk.

One last little detail that you never really appreciate until you experience it is the beauty of its rustle-free fabric and Assos designed this jacket to be as quiet as possible.

POC Essential Short Liner – Women’s

Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Pursuit Jersey – Short Sleeve – Women’s

We all have a few select pieces of cycling kit that we won’t wear for just any easy spin. When we think of wearing them, it’s usually for a race, or maybe an all-day weekend ride that demands top-tier gear that frees us to focus on riding hard. Pearl Izumi’s version of this is its P.R.O. Pursuit Jersey. Featuring strategically-placed fabric panels throughout its design and a form-fitting, race-worthy fit, it’s made for the start line, not the coffee shop line.

The fabric panels that help give the jersey its featherweight feel against the skin include a mix of Pearl Izumi’s P.R.O. Transfer In-R-Cool cooling fabric, P.R.O. Transfer Aero fabric, and textured Speed Sleeves. As this is one of its top-of-the-line jerseys, Pearl Izumi also adds laser-cut Direct-Vent paneling to provide precise areas of airflow within the jersey, and it adopts the clean, raw-edge sleeves we see featuring heavily on high-end kit on the jersey’s sleeves to provide a secure, but far less restricting seam compared to silicone or elastic. It also eliminates the transitional ridges of hemmed or elastic cuffs, an indication that Pearl took every minute detail into account when engineering this puppy.

The inclusion of a full-length zipper allows you to make temperature modifications easily mid-ride, while a silicone gripper keeps the back hem of the jersey in place while you’re in the drops, desperately trying to hold a gap. Whether you’re racing or riding hard, three rear pockets provide space for fuel, and reflective accents help you stay visible to other road users on the days your rides keep you out long past the sunset.
