How do I choose the best cycling shorts or tights for me?

It's simple. Choose shorts that make you feel good and look your best. Our chamois come in different densities. The low-profile, single-density ones are preferable for shorter rides, indoor riding, and multi-sport events like triathlons. Our double and triple-density chamois are better for longer rides. But, ultimately, it's a personal choice, so go with what works best for you.

Why do I need cycling shorts?

Padded cycling shorts are the second most important piece of a cycling outfit after a helmet. Padded cycling shorts provide protection against soreness and chafing in the pelvic area, so you can focus on enjoying your ride.

Are you products designed for women's bodies?

Yes! Our range is designed by women cyclists who understand what features are needed to provide the ultimate cycling experience for women. All products are designed in Vancouver, BC.

Why we made this

When our customers asked for a Samsara Tri Suit that would give them the same mix of fit, design and technical features they enjoy in our cycling apparel, we were delighted to deliver. We designed our Performance Triathlon Suit to meet the specific needs of women in all three sports without sacrificing on the comfort and functionality you need to stand out for your performance and style.

• Lightweight, 4-way stretch fabric
• Breathable, moisture-wicking and UV-protective
• Mesh panels and full front zip in case you want to pull the top down
• Double-density Elastic Interface® chamois specifically designed to address the needs of women triathletes, with maximum breathability and quick dry fabric, high elasticity for freedom of movement in swimming and running, plus extra support to alleviate pressure while cycling
• Our signature front full zip gives added flexibility for run and easier bathroom breaks. Zipper flaps on the inside protect skin from chaffing
• Two back pockets with secure side entry for quick access to gels, etc
• Compressive shorts with ribbed silicone grip on leg band to keep them in place
• No sausage legs or diaper butt – we promise!
• Flatlock seams to eliminate chafing

• Our Triathlon Suits are designed to have a tight compression fit (a little tighter than our cycling gear), so if you are between sizes or prefer less compression, we recommend going up a size
• Sharla wears a size SMALL and is 5’ 8”
• For more information, see our size guide

How does the Performance Suit compare to our Cruise Tri Suit?

Both Samsara triathlon suit styles are designed for maximum comfort and enhanced performance - and are rated for Ironman distances!

The main difference between our tri suit styles is the fit. Our Cruise Suit is made with a more streamlined fit, including a higher waistline and a slightly longer 9” shorts. The Cruise Suit also offers more pockets (4 x back pockets).

She’s Perfect

The quality, fit and comfort of this tri suit is unmatched. It is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. I love the nutrition pocket at the back, and the bands on the shorts don’t cut into my legs. I love that you can unzip the jersey portion of the suit and keep the shorts on. It’s also extremely flattering, which makes me feel confident on race day. I’m 5’6 and 153 lbs, athletic build and medium fits me perfectly.

So excited to race in this suit!

I’m blown away by the fit of this suit. I’ve worn others in the past from major brands, and I’ll never go back. I took my measurements to decide on size, but also took into account that it’s designed to be compressive and sizing up one size was the right move for me (typically a M/L and I went with the XL). The pattern is so fun and I can’t wait to take it out for a ride soon!!

Super Speedy Style

Don’t you love it when you put something on and it just makes you feel… super?
The attention to detail, the compression, the PRINT and the idea that you can feel super cute when you push your limits is why this suit gets 5-stars from me. Simply super.
I also love the way the top can fully zip down for easy washroom access - very convenient 60 second pit stop during my run portion!

Love it!

This suit is even more beautiful in person! I have had nothing but positive comments regarding style, print. I measured myself before ordering and fit is TTS. Worked great for an 81km bike ride! Excited to use it for my upcoming Ironman Maine 70.3 at the end of July!
