Women's Apparel

I use this jersey for road riding. I loved the colors and design. Originally, I ordered a small in violet but the shoulders and sleeves were way too tight, though the torso fit fine. I exchanged the top for the seamoss in medium. Again the colors are so beautiful but the shoulder and arm area still felt oddly tight and the torso was now significantly looser. I decided to keep it and have used it too times. Not my favorite because of it but it's tolerable to ride in and I do love the colorway.

I've had trouble finding good bike shorts. 50F, 5'9', 185. I ride 45-60 m/week. I just needed the padding to be more toward the front of the short, and maybe a little thicker, and the Pearl Izumi Attack short delivered that for me. I'm a casual rider, and not aero. I love the fit and the fabric. I don't have a problem with them falling down, or rolling over my belly, which is always the last to go when you lose weight, ha ha. So far, they've washed well, I hang them to dry. I don't use chamois cream, haven't really needed it. I'm happy with the fit. (XL) They're very confortable, and the fabric gives great coverage, but is light enough to keep me cool in the hot sun. I've definitely noticed a significant reduction/eradication of saddle sores. If I could change anything, I'd consider making a model with a 5' inseam, like the PI Sugar short, which I also love. Then I wouldn't be sporting my oh-so-attractive ombre tan from my varying length bike shorts! I'm definitely ordering another pair!


It's not yet rainy season but I've had a chance to use them a couple times, so far so good (For biking and backpacking). I appreciate how lightweight they are, and the brightness of the reflectors. I'm a little nervous that they have zippers, I am concerned they will be the fail point with time but so far so good. I will update the review if I can after I've had a chance to use them in the rain more.
