Shorts like the Corsa Donna skip the straps, so they're quicker to put on and take off and simpler at rest stops. Many women prefer shorts for training, fitness rides and commuting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Only Women EIT® chamois good for long rides?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
