Descente Strata Bike Short - Women's

The Descente Women’s Strata Bike Short draws perspiration away as you crank up the last long hill of the day. Aero-XT side panels provide just the right amount of compression and ventilation, and flat-seam construction makes a smooth ride even smoother. Descente’s new Stealth-HDI chamois offers enhanced padding, and a perforated insert creates excellent airflow.

Bottom Line: Take your comfort to a new level.

Love these shorts

By: cyclingolfer
August 6, 2009

I bought these shorts after reading other reviews and recommendations and I have to say they were correct. I had been using Izumi and felt that the padding was to thick and bulky. These shorts are great. I average rides between 40-62 miles and these were great - just enough cushion for comfort and not so much that you feel like your sitting on a depends during your rides. Highly recommend - fit is excellent - Overall couldnt be happier, well worth the price.

Has Descente changed their size chart? Your answer to Cheri's

Has Descente changed their size chart? Your answer to Cheri's question about the waist/length dimensions is one size SMALLER than Descente's posted chart. Do I now need to order a size larger than I used to? Is the shift in sizing only on certain shorts, i.e. Strata vs AeroX?

Fabric feels light but has structure. Color insert well located -- doesn't scream out but is distinctive.

Descente's Size chart ( you can find a link with almost all the other Descente shorts sold on this website. Not sure why it's absent from these shorts) has these measurements:
XS S M
Waist 24-26 26-28 28-30
Hips 34-36 36-38 38-40
Inseam 28" 29" 30" this has to do with how long they think your legs should be, not shorts' inseams.

Waist for Small is 22-24", the small inseam is about 8 (there isn't really an "inseam"). Small outseam is 14". The medium waist is 26-28" with a 9" inseam-ish area and a 16" outseam.

Highly recommend

Purchased these shorts after only wearing Pearl Izumi UltraSensors. Padding is less bulky and lot more comfortable. I average 20 miles each ride. The longer front padding is great for when I need to get more aerodynamic. I do wish the shorts had grippers on the leg. They did not ride up, but might be just a matter of time, shorts didn't come up far enough to cover my butt crack.

Great Quality runs small ORDER UP one size

By: cyclingolfer
September 19, 2009

I am 5'2 and weigh about 103 usually order a SMALL in just about everything EXCEPT for DESCENTE. I have found that their products run smaller so I now order a MEDIUM. Had the jersey and on long bike ride the small armpit was bothersome and too tight - I exchanged for a MEDIUM and love it. When I purchased these matching bike shorts went straight for the MEDIUM and they are perfect. I also wear Pearl Izumi and Sergio both in small and comparatively found the Descente sits lower on the hip and has a great chamois for the longer rides 50-62+. I wear this pair at least twice a week on my longer rides, love the fit and comfort. Bottom line, unless you are one svelt biker, order up one size. Overall great product, nice quality - one of my favorite brands.
