Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Shorts – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Giro Women’s Arc Short.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Giro Women’s Arc Short is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Shorts – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Shorts – Cycle. Brands like Giro are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Shorts – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Shorts – Cycle.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Giro Women’s Arc Short Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Giro Women’s Arc Short reviews there.

Based on what we’ve seen in terms of reviews for Giro Women’s Arc Short, it really does look like a great buy. So for the review score, we’ve scored it 8.5 out of 10. The average review score for all products in the Shorts – Cycle category at Chain Reaction Cycles is 4.1 out of 5.

Owner reviews, as we say, are one of the most important pieces of research that we can do before we buy.

And so, you need a pair of light shorts ready to keep you cool and shielded from showers at the same time, and that’s exactly where the Women’s Arc Shorts from Giro step up to the plate. When the heat is high, they offer highly effective UV protection (up to above factor 50) and plenty of breathability, but at the same time a DWR (Durable Water Repellence) finish to the fabric allow light rains to simply slide off.The ripstop fabric is lightweight, durable and comfortable, but the best part about this fabric is that it’s virtually silent on the bike. Why be distracted by loud fabrics when you just want to hear the sound of your tyres connecting to the trail? Not to mention the sounds of you and your friends hooting and hollering down the best sections of the trail. Finally, those little extras that make these shorts perfect for the trail include a number of pockets for storage (including one zipped pocket for valuables), an exterior waist adjustment that makes finding the perfect fit a breeze, and even belt loops to ensure that you’re fully in control.Features:Material: 100% PolyesterLightweight and quietUPF 50+Ripstop fabricDWR water repellentSecure zip pocketExterior waist adjustmentBelt loopsHand pocketsBuy Giro Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
