Nadezhda Kit Reviews

Nadezhda Pavlova – Athlete & Designer

As an athlete I need my kit to perform; but as a woman I also want and indeed need it to look super stylish too. Getting that balance between performance, technicity and style is isn’t easy, which is why I want to help you out.

Everything that we use as cyclists and triathletes has a purpose and we need to take time to get it right. Performance is about the best and so we need to best kit. Ladies kit in particular, has in the past been an overlooked after thought of the cycling industry. Thankfully, these days it’s easier to find kit that’s ladies specific and which also is allabout being the best athlete that you can. Take a look at my personal favouite reviews below, from saddles to sunnies, and let’s free our feminime spirit 😉

A bike saddle is the most personal part of your bike, and it can make all the difference in the world. That’s why getting the right saddle for road cyclists and triathletes is so important. While a good saddle is barely noticeable, the uncomfortable one will make you beyond miserable. Unless you want to make your best friend’s thigh chaff and lower parts numb, you need to find the right saddle. But what exactly does that mean?
Well, to put it simply, women-specific saddles usually have a cut-out to relieve soft tissue pressure. The use of a wider saddle helps to accommodate a woman's wider-spaced sit bones. Sit bones are the bones that make up the area in your buttocks that are the most likely to feel pressured during a ride.
