I couldn’t be happier with my LeTape commuter shorts. The ride comfort is outstanding, the pocket placement is spot on, & the tailored cut is a refreshing change from the usual baggy options.Thanks, LeTape

"The tailored outer gives such a sharp look that it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing performance cycling shorts at all. I feel confident arriving at the office and leaving work."

Freddy M. - IT Consultant, Melbourne
★★★★★

"These shorts are a gamechanger! On weekends, I even ride to my daughter’s netball games and watch in complete comfort. The integrated cycling short inner feels as good as any premium bib I’ve owned."

Martin S. - Weekend Rider & Father
★★★★★

"After testing these shorts for six months on 20–30 km commutes in all conditions, I’m blown away by the comfort! The inner liner is incredible—I can’t believe how good riding feels in a pair of shorts that look like tailored casual wear."
