The POC Women’s Cadence Cycling bib shorts are the brand’s latest bibs, promising comfort and performance, aiming to be the best women’s cycling shorts without too high a cost.
Priced at €150, a core component is the brand’s newly launched, patent-pending chamois pad, which POC says was developed after considerable testing, data, and research.

Design and aesthetics
POC says the patent-pending chamois, called the Novus chamois, is wider than previous pads used in its bibs, and has been constructed to give extra support and softness exactly where it is needed most.
It was designed after significant testing and pressure mapping research, as well as working with experts in physiotherapy, gynaecology, and bike fit.
The Novus chamois uses a gel layer and channel relief that POC says helps manage pressure between the saddle and the rider and the brand also says that the chamois is designed so that its performance is maintained with repeated use.
The bib shorts also feature an updated suspender comfort break system, which is essentially very stretchy overlapped material, which POC says makes it easy to pull down the bibs for when nature calls, and doesn’t require riders to remove any layers.
Linked to the nature break design, the front bib strap design comes straight up the torso in one strap before splitting at the top of the chest. POC says this elevates comfort and the lightweight fabric keeps air flowing for extra comfort.
Another key feature is the four-way stretch built into the fabric which POC says offers optimum support and freedom to ride. The bibs also have silicone leg grippers to keep them in place when riding and have UPF50+ sun protection.
