just bought some of their tri pants and took em out for a 100k spin, very comfy!
yeah they are sweet, same panel cut as the Microsensor shorts, very nice
.
I prefer them for most riding under 100 miles, especially right now under tights. I like the length.
The price is right too. 3-4 pairs for the price of the top end shorts.
I still prefer the top end shorts for 100+ training rides, though.
Yeah - I really like them as well. I wish they made a pair or a paint to swim in (pool). I made the mistake of using them in the pool and the chlorine breaks down the microsensor fabric. They were replaced (excellent customer service) but they suggested I do not use them in the pool; which is fine. They are very comfy to rider and then run in.
If your ever in the Chicago area (well far west Chicago area) there is a Pearl Izumi Factory Outlet store in the
Chicago Premium Outlet mall in Aurora. (about 40 miles west of downtown) http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=63
They carry a mix of outlet deals, along with the full catalog at normal retail prices.
Slightly OT - Hi fulla, I got some cycle shorts in the weekend, shock horror, might be seeing you on the bike aorund Taupo later in the year!?
I’ll agree. It’s good stuff…now if I could just get some custom stuff…
