DESCRIPTION DELIVERY & RETURNS REVIEWS SIZE GUIDE

DELIVERY & RETURNS REVIEWS SIZE GUIDE

In the Aksium Shorts, fashion and function find common ground. Mavic blends high-performance fabric and construction with nuanced details and design, providing female cyclists with the best of all worlds.

The women's specific Aksium Shorts feature a shorter inseam (20cm) than traditional-length cycling shorts. Overall, the seams are kept to a minimum and carefully positioned to prevent chafing and related discomfort. The fabric is made from a durable, supportive textile with high elasticity for consistent leg hold while pedaling. They're a great fit for riders seeking enhanced leg mobility when hammering on the uphill or gaining ground on the flats. Bonus: the shorter inseam also eliminates those awkward, knee-to-hip length tan lines formed by longer shorts.

Features

Comfortable leg support

Durable, light-support fabric with high elasticity ensures a comfortable hold on your legs while pedaling
4-way stretch fabric engineered for maximum elasticity and abrasion resistance thanks to polyamide

All-day comfort with the right amount of cushioning

Multi-layer Women's Ergo Essential insert made with 2 different densities and progressive cushioning
Specifically constructed for female riders

Ride-specific details and design

Waistband construction comfortably holds the shorts in place on the abdomen
Short inseam length (20 cm) eliminates awkward tan lines and extends freedom of movement
Raw cut edge on leg bottom combined with silicon offers a comfortable grip
Reflective elements add visibility in low-light conditions

Specifications

Main Fabric composition: 78% PA - 22% EL
Inside silicone leg grip

GUIDELINES FOR PURCHASING THE CORRECT SHORTS

These easy steps will help you find the right shorts for you that will become your faithful training and competition partner:

Put on the trousers and put the suspenders and the bottom of the leg in place so that there are no creases, the feeling once the shorts are worn must be of slight adherence.
Keep the shorts on for a few minutes by bending your legs, and getting into bike position, then try to pinch the fabric in the thigh area and if once the fabric is released the Lycra returns to its position then you have tried the suitable size to you.
If, on the other hand, you feel an unpleasant sensation of rubbing or constriction, or if the seams or the straps are too tight, try the higher size.
Alé pads do not require the use of creams because they are soft and comfortable and are designed to be worn next to the skin without any intermediate layer.

Many times the problems encountered during the use of the garments are not attributable to the shorts themselves but to the wrong choice of size or model or to errors in washing the garments (see above), in fact:

These easy steps will help you find the right shorts for you that will become your faithful training and competition partner:

The suspenders, the elastics, the bottom of the leg tend to roll up when wearing the garment but can easily return to their place with a few small gestures.
Lycra must provide a massage to the muscles and a slight compression effect, and only if it remains very close to the body can it perform its function properly.
