Elite Escape AmFIB Cycling Tight

When Old Man Winter throws a layer of frost on the ground, don't let it keep you inside. With the help of Pearl Izumi's Elite Escape AmFIB Cycling tights for women you'll be hitting the pavement with the vigor of spring well into the winter. The Elite Escape AmFIB tights offer a super soft and warm embrace from thermal fleece that's topped with PI Dry DWR coating to keep water, snow, and sleet rolling off of you. Protective AmFIB softshell fabric is strategically paneled in key exposure areas to add an extra shield from the elements as you ride into the storm. Your rear-end will feel supported and comfortable, too, with Pearl's Elite Escape 1:1 chamois that offers a free-floating 4-way-stretch top sheet that brushes gently against your skin, backed with a 2-layer suspension core for plush and supportive comfort. Moving down from the chamois, these tights are hit with BioViz elements to increase your visibility in low lights, and down further, 7-inch zippers on the lower leg offer plenty of room for getting in and out of your tights with bulky winter socks.

  • Burly tights for winter cycling
  • Elite AmFIB softshell shields you from harsh weather
  • Thermal fleece fabric offers soft insulation
  • Stay dry inside with PI Dry treatment that lets water roll off
  • Prevent sore sitbones with Elite Escape 1:1 chamois
  • Zippered key pocket keeps small items safe
  • Increase visibility to cars with BioViz accents
  • Easy on and off with 7in lower leg zippers

might run big?

  • Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
  • Fit: Runs large
  • Size Bought: M

I know all of the PI stuff can be random at sizing so I bought S/M in a few things and when I put these on these fit like I was wearing a XL in my thighs, a L in my calves and waist. Not sure if it's this particular make that runs big or I got a random pair that was off. Regardless I was bummed bc they seemed like they would've been warm.
I'm 5'6" and a lean/muscular 123#. Definitely returned them.

BE SEEN, BE SAFE

    PEARL iZUMi's BioViz construction incorporates three main elements: use of high powered reflectivity, true fluorescent colors, and strategic patterning.

    • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
    • Fit: Runs small

    another reviewer mentioned something about the chamois chafing. I don't have a problem with the chafing. I think it fits a bit differently than my older pants... but i'm not out for long in a 32 degree. The wind protection is great. I like the darts at the knee for flexibility.

    after consistent use, i like these very much. they performed great in 25 degrees and a lite flurry. Another person wrote the chamois was uncomfortable, and i would agree... but they need to be worn in... like a pair of jeans. These are not a fashion statement legging... they are a keep warm - wind - weather out.
