Women riding regularly who want a comfortable, dependable pair of padded shorts.
The Pearl Izumi Women's Quest Short has been a first proper cycling short for a lot of riders. It is designed to feel supportive without being restrictive, so it suits everything from weekend loops to the ride to work.
Inside is a women's specific chamois that cushions and cuts friction on the saddle, and the moisture-wicking stretch fabric helps keep you dry. Silicone leg grippers keep the hems where they belong and reflective details help in low light.
This is the black Quest short in size XS.
