from 25 reviewsMy Vaela jeans are not only great for cycling but everyday life. The attention to detail is reflected in their design. Super comfortable- love the pockets and high waist. Always a thumbs up for a sustainable product. I highly recommend them.
I’ve loved my Vaela jeans from the moment I unwrapped the first pair. Even before I put them on. The thought that’s gone into them, even down to printing the washing instructions on the pocket lining! Brilliant. And they’re so comfortable. And look great. And fit exactly as expected (perfectly). So I had to get a second pair. This time they were dispatched by Mailout and were so beautifully (and ethically) packaged that the postman was driven to comment as he handed over the package. Even better inside, could have been wrapped by angels. This probably sounds over the top but I’ve honestly never received anything so we’ll presented, and the jeans are just fab!!!
I really enjoy my jeans! Great fit and stretching material makes it very comfortable to wear. My fav jeans at the moment :)
Super comfortable, so soft, great fit, nice classic design and love the eco credentials. I never cycle but still wear them all the time for walking and occasionally, gardening - especially good with the slightly higher backside for when you are bending over! They are also classy enough to wear into the office occasionally. I love them.
Had these for a week now and I love them. Was sitting as between sizes but tried by both and because the leg width felt the same, but the waist was snugger on the smaller size I went for those (I often get gaping back waist on trousers but these are spot on)
They are super comfy to cycle in and stylish off the bike. Reflective details are subtle but effective and the rear phone pocket is really well designed and very useful, even for my ridiculously large phone. Woyrld highly recommend, excellent jeans. (and lovely company doing good things the right way)
These are so comfortable, soft fabric and seam-free on the seat. I love these jeans !!!
I was lucky enough to win this bag in a charity auction. I love the style, the effortless conversion from rucksack, to shoulder bag to pannier. It’s lovely to look at, has all the weather coating I need for the days I commute. Big enough for my laptop and books and shopping tours of my favourite vintage shops. The quality is superb. The black canvas is rich and deep. It’s comfy to carry and looks great. The ethical ingredients make it such an important purchase. There’s a magical clip that holds it securely on my bike rack. My bike ‘expert’ husband is envious. Thank you! X
Love my Vaela jeans. Flattering shape and good quality. Plus stretchy, soft and comfortable on my bike. Would recommend.
I am not a cyclist but these are honestly the only pair of jeans I have ever found that fit me properly. Perfect length and perfect fit on the waist (no bum cleavage) and look great too! Someone has really thought about the design of these from a women’s perceptive. More please!
We all know how difficult it is to transport everything you need when using a bike. Well the team at Vaela have clearly thought about all the challenges and designed a bag that neatly and stylishly resolves them all, with plenty of padding for your laptop. Great design!
I loved the jeans so much I decided to invest in a jacket as well and was not disappointed! Super comfy with just enough stretch, designed for cyclists, but I wear mine all the time. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design, and I love the environmental ethos of the company too.
Super comfortable and stylish jeans. No inner gusset, very clever idea! Definitely one of my better purchases.
I have worn the same belt for over 10 years but have been wearing this belt non-stop for the past couple of months since receiving it. The story and sustainability behind it are great - but the true test is does it look good, is it comfortable and is it built to last. Gold star for all of the above!
NB: I was kindly gifted this belt by Jo @ Vaela.
My Vaela jeans are my favourite jeans! The stretch in the fabric makes them super comfortable and I love the reflective turn up. The extra deep back pocket keeps your phone nice and safe and the bonus is the panel on the legs which makes sitting down comfortable whether you are on a bike or not!
My favourite jeans ever, whether I’m cycling or not. Super-flattering cut - amazing on every bum I’ve seen them on so far. The cycling-friendly details - higher at the back to avoid cleavage; no uncomfy inside seam; reflective panels - are there when you need them, unobtrusive when you don’t. So happy to ditch the dreaded Lycra - I can commute in them and head straight into the office… out after work… whatever. The icing on the cake? Sustainable materials and production. What a find!
Our Story
Vaela was established in 2020 after we’d spent the previous few years being serially disappointed by the cycle clothes available to women – and by the general difficulties faced by women who wish to ride more easily and more often.
