As a woman who likes to ride with style, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find clothes that work on the pedals as well as they do in the office. Here’s a few that stand out for meeting both criteria. Betabrand<\/a> also bears mentioning again (see our first segment here<\/a>, gifts for everyone.) because of their excellent selection of bike to work clothes, some of which are downright feminine.

Terry<\/a><\/p>\n

Terry is a retailer that sells practically everything a female cyclist could need. They have performance and casual apparel, racing kits and skorts, even cute jewelry and fun gifts. Their huge selection of casual tops<\/a> would all work great on the ride to work. Even better, they also make plus-sizes! By offering plus-sizes they’re serving roughly 50% of American women, many of whom ride too. And wait, it gets even better! Unlike so many apparel brands, most of their products are actually made in the USA, and you can shop exclusively “Made in USA”. So you can shop with peace, knowing that you\u2019re helping support American jobs.<\/p>\n

\"Vespertine<\/a>

Vespertine<\/a> Haute R\u00e9flecture<\/p>\n

Although they weren\u2019t at Interbike this year, we fell in love with this brand in a shop in Portland. They\u2019re pricier, but reflective and eco materials and<\/em> manufacturing in small quantities in NYC aren\u2019t cheap. For a really high-end, chic gift (they have men\u2019s too!) this is it.<\/p>\n

Hustle & Bustle<\/a> Rain Jacket<\/p>\n

This gorgeous jacket really caught our eye. The sharp hourglass cut and couture-level seaming are stunning and flattering for most women. It’s made of water resistant fabric and features all kinds of trick details like reflective piping an inner layer for extra protection during storms. Because of course you’ll want to wear this jacket all year. Yes, it’s pricey, but she’s worth it, isn’t she? Best of all, it comes in a wide array of colors, which is almost unheard-of in outerwear. The brand, Georgia in Dublin, carries a cute range of rain apparel. Fitting, being based in Dublin.<\/p>\n

\"Petal<\/a><\/p>\n

Petal Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Now this is the sort of gift best given by a woman, as some women might be offended if a man gave it to them. I saw their magnet in the toilet stall at Interbike, (as photographed above!) and didn\u2019t see them mentioned anywhere else. Which is pure genius, as it\u2019s in the toilet where ladies have to feel the effects of long hours of sweating in the saddle. Their \u201cJoy Ride\u201d system includes chamois cream designed for women as well as pre and post-ride cleansing products. This isn\u2019t some chauvinist douche crap, but an important tool for preventing the infections and saddle sores that can come from long rides.<\/p>\n

More….<\/p>\n

When it comes to women\u2019s cycling apparel, Velojoy seems to have written the definitive list here<\/a>. Far easier to navigate than the acres of booths at Interbike! What’s at the top of your wish list this Holiday season? What sort of apparel do you wish existed for your rides?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
