    A bit disappointing for company like PI

    Comments about Pearl Izumi Sugar Bike Knickers - Women's:

    I'm a bit disappointed by them. Pearl Izumi is known for good quality but this is not one of their better products. I wore them on a 75 mile ride and after 50 miles it became obvious that the "plush microfiber" chamois is a far cry from anything deserving the name chamois. The thickness of the pad would be okay if they'd invested in a quality chamois instead of this flimsy substitute. Great for shorter rides (under 50 miles) or maybe spinning classes if you're into stuff like that. Otherwise, the fit well and kept me reasonably warm in cold fall weather. But again: nothing to write home about...

    Comments about Pearl Izumi Sugar Bike Knickers - Women's:

    I love the length of these capris. I'm a little bigger and they fit nice, and its great not having the elastic on the cycling shorts tight around my legs. I do wish the padding was a little better, gel maybe? I am starting to compete in duathlons and these are also comfortable to run in! I would definitely buy another pair!

        There was a nice selection on women's biking gear and having the capri length biking pants was a nice alternative.

          The padding is thick, which is what makes it comfortable even after 30+ miles, but doesn't breathe as well as some biking clothes I've owned. Still, I love the coverage/length and waist.

            These pants are the most comfortable cycling pants I have ever had. They are soft and comfortable and the pad seems to fit just right. I have worn these on 25-35 mile rides and can keep them on for longer. I am also a bigger girl, so it is really nice to find comfortable bike pants that fit a body shape other than really thin.

              Poor Quality Chamois

                Comments about Pearl Izumi Sugar Bike Knickers - Women's:

                I like Pearl Izumi cycling shorts/tights, but this particular one has a cheap and uncomfortable chamois. The seams are uncomfortable, especialy where it crosses right behind the knee. It's not bad for short mountain bike rides, but no good for extended rides or road riding.
