Product Details
Rapha Core Cargo Men's Cycling Shorts
The Rapha Core Cargo Waist Shorts deliver the same trusted comfort and support as the Core Cargo Bib Shorts, but in a streamlined shorts-only design. Built around a dense-knit performance fabric, they provide reliable compression and stability exactly where you need it, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides. The main body fabric is made from a majority of recycled yarns, combining durability, comfort and a lower environmental impact without compromising performance.
At the core of the shorts is Rapha’s renowned chamois, developed in Italy to offer consistent comfort on the longest days in the saddle. Laser-cut silicone grippers keep the shorts securely in place with zero distractions, while a cargo pocket on each leg gives you practical storage for your phone, tools or nutrition. Ideal for training, commuting or endurance rides, the Rapha Core Cargo Shorts are a versatile, high-value option for cyclists who want proven comfort, functional storage and clean, modern design from Rapha.

Fit Guides:
Pro Team: Garments have a compressive feel for maximum aerodynamic gains and an engaged on-bike fit. Recommend choosing your usual size for a performance body-hugging fit - if between sizes, size up.
Core and Brevet: Regular fit for a range of body types. Recommend choosing your normal size. Less compressive and not as close-fitting as Pro Team products.

About Rapha
For the glory and the suffering of the road.
Rapha was born in London in 2004 to celebrate the glory and suffering of road cycling. Two decades on, the brand still designs every garment around the same belief: that great kit, beautifully made, transforms the experience of riding.
Rapha garments are designed and tested by the team that wears them. Premium fabrics, considered cuts, a lifetime crash-replacement policy on the Pro Team range — every detail is built around a long relationship with the rider, not a single season.
