Pearl iZUMi Women’s Expedition Shorts (Black) (XS)

Pearl Izumi Women’s Expedition Shorts Description:

The Pearl Izumi Women’s Expedition Shorts are designed to make those planned and unplanned biking adventures much more enjoyable. The rugged Transfer fabric used on the outer portion of these shorts is a blend of recycled polyester, nylon, and elastane that results in a short with impressive moisture wicking and compressive properties that will improve the comfort and muscular performance of the rider. A tall waistband up top provides security without needing a drawstring to reduce the chances of skin irritation and to allow freedom of movement. At the other end of the short, each leg cuff features raw edges without any extra stitching to minimize any constriction of movement or extra friction on the skin, and a low profile silicone print on the inside of those cuffs will prevent them from riding up the leg. Adding to the versatility of these shorts are pockets positioned on each thigh and one additional lumbar pocket on the back that will add to your available storage space for tools, cards, nutritional supplements, lip balm, or any other riding essentials. Rounding out the outer part of these shorts are subtle reflective logos that will improve the visibility of the rider in low light conditions.

Aside from the outer short construction, the other outstanding feature of these shorts is the premium women’s specific Elite Levitate dual density chamois. The base of this chamois uses a medium density memory foam that easily conforms to the riders body to reduce friction and chafing, and a much higher density foam is laid on top of this base layer which will provide excellent support for a riders weight especially over longer bike rides. To further improve the riders comfort, the padding and top sheet on the chamois have a relief channel mechanically shaved into it that will relieve pressure on sensitive soft tissues which will not only add excellent comfort for short rides, the reliefs in the padding will also fight off numbness that can creep in on longer bike rides. Add in the fact that the chamois is anti-microbial which helps it to fight off unwanted funk plus all of the previously mentioned highlights and what you get is a pair of shorts that are designed to comfortably take your bike rides further than you have ever gone.

Features:

• Transfer outer fabric is constructed out of a blend of recycled polyester, nylon, and elastane to provide excellent comfort, durability, and performance
• Form fit and light compression in the fabric fights bunching and friction and will promote good circulation for improved muscular performance, all without restricting movement
• Raw edges on the leg openings lay flat on the skin to reduce the chances of skin abrasion or irritation and for a more streamlined appearance
• Dual Density Elite Levitate chamois puts higher density memory foam under the sit bones for better support on longer bike rides, and then uses a combination of contouring, cutouts, and lower density foam to reduce chaffing, reduce pressure on soft tissues, and promote good blood flow to fight off numbness
• Thigh pockets on each leg and in the lumbar region on the back provide extra storage space for cards, keys, nutritional supplements, or other biking essentials
