If you’re anything like me (a 30+ year old female mountain biker with a full-time desk job) you are fit — with hips. (#FitWithHips — new hashtag? I think so).
#FitWithHips could mean:
- A gaping waist exposing, well, your…ummmm…butt crack.
- Resorting to men’s shorts that actually pull over your hips due to the larger size selection. The compromise being a male short design, typically quite long.
- Settling for the less protective (although fast and light) look of the XC racer — an all spandex kit.
- The colour black. Blah!
Hips: The fullest point of a women’s lower body, located an approximate 25 cm below the natural waistline.
Below I have listed brands that have dedicated countless hours and effort into designing a solid line of women’s specific mountain bike apparel, allowing us as a breed to avoid “the gap”, short-pants, and the blah of black. May #FitWithHips live on in style!
