The WMN Collection is female-first design, backed by the testing of our women's teams and female ambassadors. It's that essential elite and recreational athlete-feedback, garnered over the last two years, which has enabled us to develop the WMN Collection – the first products of which are released on February 6 at 9am AEST.

This is only the beginning. We are committed to the continued development of women's-specific products and ranges, including female-first winter garments and ongoing collection-specific enhancements for women riders. Be it safety, accessibility, or product, women’s cycling is, and always has been, a second thought. We are ready to change that.

This first female-specific release includes the WMN LuxLite Jersey, WMN Body Bib and WMN Sock, with the WMN Sport Bra coming very soon. The LuxLite Jersey and Body Bib are sold separately.

Every WMN garment is made for a specific function and combined with unique fabrics, sourced from around the world, to achieve the best female performance on the bike.

For those who have worn our garments before, fit and sizing are similar to the Essentials Team Collection 2019.

LUXLITE JERSEY.

Our brand new LuxLite fabric provides incredible anti-sweat performance. An open-cell knit structure provides almost unrestricted evaporative cooling, with female specific fit through body contouring, which moulds to the shape of the athlete. SweatMesh, used through the back, gives breathability whilst also achieving UPF 40+ sun protection.

Our all-new Full Body Support System achieves support that is unrecognisable. Straps have been removed, replaced with a featherlight sleeveless suit. Made with LuxForm, a Schoeller of Switzerland fabric, support is distributed around the body, not just the shoulders. The remainder of the bib uses Core Power – an Italian warp-knit fabric that moves with repetitive flexion, extension and subtle torsional stresses riders place through the hip. A deep, 8cm cuff is used because, well, you asked for it.

WMN SOCK.

Lightweight, beautifully breathable, and perfectly compressive. And just a little shorter. 5 inches in length, to be exact.

5% of all WMN and SWR branded products go straight to the WMN Initiative.

Providing a pathway through cycling.

The WMN Initiative is a Black Sheep program that focuses on providing a pathway through cycling. Focused on two key areas, the WMN Initiative aims to provide elite female cyclists with opportunities in the professional peloton, as well as increasing female participation.
