Chrome Anza Shorts Women's

Chrome Anza Shorts W are women's cycling shorts designed to work just as well on the bike as they do for the rest of the day. The fit is slim and bike-friendly, but they look more like regular shorts than traditional cycling clothes. That makes Anza especially well suited to summer bike commutes, long days in the city, and hanging out in the park - or for anyone who wants to carry on with their day without changing as soon as they get off the bike.

Anza is made from the same durable, water-repellent Everest 4-way stretch fabric that Chrome uses in items like the Folsom and Union. The nylon and spandex blend offers plenty of freedom of movement while pedaling, while feeling considerably more robust than a pair of regular lightweight summer shorts. The crotch features a seamless, double-layer construction for better comfort against the saddle and extra durability where cycling shorts typically get the most wear.

Chrome has also designed the pockets for real-world use. There are roomy pockets at the front and two deep flap pockets at the back that work well for a phone or wallet, for example. A hidden zippered back pocket provides more secure storage for keys, cards, or other small items while riding. At the back, you'll also find Chrome's classic webbing U-lock holder - a detail that makes it clear these shorts are made for city cycling, rather than simply happening to work on a bike.

Anza has an inseam of about 15 cm and a relatively short, slim fit compared with many MTB and gravel shorts. This is the model for anyone looking for technical cycling shorts that still look like regular shorts. For longer rides, they can of course be paired with padded liner shorts, but for commuting and everyday wear, the point is that Anza works well just as they are.
