Shoulder season cycling often features rides with mixed conditions, but near continually cool temperatures. That is when the best choice for the lower body is a 3/4 cycling bib tight, or knicker style garment. You can keep the knees and lower core warm, take advantage of a great fit and breathability with the Pearl Izumi Thermal Cycling 3/4 Bib Tight. The ultrasoft Thermal fleece fabric offers great stretch and return, for free and supportive pedaling dynamics, as well as the thermal regulation needed for variable weather days on the bike.

Pearl's improved Thermal fleece fabric provides quick drying insulation, while construction featuring fewer panels and reduced seaming combined with a stretchier version of the fabric has improved both fit and comfort. The company added their full PI Dry water-shedding technology to ward off splashes and light rain. The upper's raw-edge bib straps eliminate bulk and improve comfort while the rest of the upper eases perspiration off the skin and out through to the next layer to keep you drier. For exceptional rideability and feel, Pearl has used their Levitate PLUS Chamois pad that reduces friction for all day comfort. The PLUS Next-Gen Suspension Core uses high-density layers to distribute your body weight over a larger area for more comfort, even deep into a ride when most chamois are packed out. It features a moisture-wicking 1:1 Boundary Layer that moves with you in and out of the saddle to minimize friction. Of course Pearl adds a lower leg gripper to keep this 3/4 length on the mid calf zone, and employs plenty of the their BioViz reflective elements that enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
