Headquartered in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, Ornot is a cycling apparel brand that not only produces made-in-the-USA, high-quality pieces but is also a brand favorite of the Bikerumor crew. And today, Ornot announces Mission Shorts for women.

Ornot’s Mission Shorts are made in the USA from a medium-weight, stretch-woven, recycled fabric. They also carry a Bluesign certification. The high-waisted cut offers room through the thighs and a wider leg opening.

This prevents fabric bunching during a ride while keeping the silhouette clean and free of visible underwear lines. The length lands somewhere in the middle ground: not a micro-short, but not in the boardshort territory either.

The hidden elastic waistband is one of the more practical design details of the Mission Shorts for women. It sits flat against the body, so there’s no bulky ridge showing through a tucked-in shirt, and it gives enough give that you can take a full breath without feeling constricted.

Where these shorts stand out from other, more typical cycling gear is in their versatility. Like most, if not all, apparel made by Ornot, the fabric and styling don’t signal “workout wear.” This means you can transition easily from a bike commute to a hike, a summer barbecue, or an afternoon out with friends.
