Review on ๐Ÿฉฒ Pearl Izumi Women's Pro Triathlon Shorts by Andres Black

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for me for women

I bought these shorts to compete in my first triathlon. I have Pearl iZUMi cycling shorts and ordered the same size. Unfortunately, these shorts are quite tight. I knew triathlon shorts were meant to fit snugly, so I figured maybe that's how they should fit. However, looking in the mirror is not flattering if you are a curvaceous woman. If you look closely at the drawing, you will see that the lines running from the pelvic bone to the pubic bone contrast with the rest of the tissue. This is NOT flattering unless you are very thin, and maybe even then. I'm not trying to be fashion or look when I'm working out, but I look awful in them and I would never wear them outside the home. Unfortunately they have to go back. If you want to know the rest: the suede was very thin and had the bike shape you would expect. The anti-collision rubber on the legs was a little sticky and very different from cycling shorts.

Pros
  • Tights, pants and shorts
Cons
  • Compatibility
