Everyone needs that ultimate tight that can get them out the door when the mercury dips. In building these, Pearl Izumi combined our latest generation AmFIB softshell and Thermal fleece fabric for a superior fit. AmFIB softshell covers and protects the front of the leg, the seat and the Achilles tendon areas from the elements. Raw-edge bib straps reduce bulk and improve comfort, while new pockets in the rear provide storage for items like gloves and extra nutrition. PI Dry permanent water repellent technology sheds precipitation and helps keep the plush ELITE Escape chamois dry. BioViz reflective elements appear on the back of the calves, high enough for visibility above any shoe covers or booties, as well as on the hip. PLEASE NOTE: This product runs small. We recommend sizing up from your normal preferred size.
