Short d'expédition

My favorite short for gravel / bikepacking, I bought a second pair. The chamois is very comfortable, the short is high enough on the waist so it does not move, side pockets are very convenient . I took it for a 4 days 950 km gravel adventure with no issues. And the short format is much more convenient than standard bib for long distance.

I rode the 2nd 500km of a bikepacking race with these and found them to be very comfortable. They didn’t move around despite just being shorts and the pockets, although a little small were secure, nothing fell out. I didn’t use the rear pocket, as it’s an unusual shape. The pad is just as good as the premium pad.
Crashed hard when a dog ran in front of me and only got a few holes in the hip, so not indestructible,but still tough enough.

Shorts seemed a little tight through the thighs initially but no issues with general fit after a couple of uses. Lycra is luxurious compared to the "freebies" I have been used to. Padding is amazing and I have suffered through several three hour rides now with no ill effects to my nether regions, time will tell if these will still be as comfortable on a twelve hour plus mission, but signs are very good.

Service after ordering from Pearl Izumi directly was brilliant, delivery was faster than I could have hoped for. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again, thank you

I ordered these shorts as a gift. The quality is amazing, I had accidentally ordered the wrong size, the return process was quick and smooth! Great customer experience

Comfortable short!
