Pearl izumi offers this high style high performance short that utilizes Stretch Microsensor fabric for exceptional moisture transfer with a soft comfortable feel. The women’s patented 3D Pro Chamois™ is the ultimate in pad construction which uses something called Fusion Technology that basically provides for extra padding and different materials to be bonded onto the chamois instead of the traditional stitching methods. Translation: no seams for all day comfort. Of course most reputable cycling short manufacturers today know that by distributing padding thickness more in the key pressure areas riders can stay in the saddle longer. What’s not used except by some very high end and expensive short makers is the bonding over stitching technique of different materials and the Microsensor® certainly falls into this category but at a reasonable price point. And of course by using a synthetic-leather surface on the 3D Chamois™ offers increased durability for improved comfort and friction protection. Adding to an overall great fit is the unique ergonomic design with flatlocked seams and spandex leg gripper cuffs to prevent short legs from riding up.
The Women's Elite LTD Short combines bold graphic design with superior fabric performance and the riding comfort of our Women's ELITE 3D Chamois.
