Microsensor Tights

Product Review

Pearl Izumi Microsensor Short and Tight

Suggested retail may give you sticker shock at first, but the old saying "You get what you pay for..." comes to mind. We sorta knew that once someone's design department got a hold of the re-designing the chamois, they would address the most basic need - COMFORT. Starting with the 3D chamois. CLICK

" High quality, high performance, high style-everything about our Microsensor® 3D Short says high-end. It features ergonomically sculpted panels with flatlocked seams for optimum fit, plus a revolutionary 3D Chamois® that provides ultimate comfort in the saddle." PI.

Microsensor ShortsThe first thing you notice is the thickness of the pad. That and the cool color you are about to sit on. Legs are long enough to grip low just above the knee or shuzh up for the tan line allowance. All seams are flatlocked and don't rub or leave the seam channel on your leg zone. I use mine most of the time i ride, from chilly AM rides to swealtering hot days and have said out loud "These shorts are sweet." Not only does the Microsensor material wick sweat and vapor but the cut of the panels is such that it moves with the leg. And the pad keeps things in place and insulated from the harhshness of chip-sealed roads and other nasty debris one hopes to dodge. Rating: 5 out of 5 snowflakes.

As for the tight, it's a "no breyner"- Same technology, no chamois. An excellent pull on tight for cold days. All panels are flatlock stitched and are un-noticable against the skin. This is also an excellent addition to your Nordic wardrobe as well as cold weather running or trail hiking. Microsensor Shorts $119.00 and Tight $69.00 We ground ship these items to you for free!
