The Pearl Izumi Womens Symphony Knickers are essentially a 3/4 short that is perfect for year-round riding and for riders after additional coverage for their legs, than the usual short designs. The Symphony shorts are a quality item that keeps in tradition with Pearl Izumi's reputation for high-quality garments, whilst keeping the price accessible to beginner riders. If you're a bit unsure about lycra, you need to try it to believe it! The SELECT transfer fabric used by Pearl Izumi is a snug-fitting material that is all about wicking sweat away from your body and keeping you cool. Without it, you'll find your body temperature will rise considerably on those hot days, making you uncomfortable while reducing your stamina.

Also using the female-specific Elite 3D chamois (or padding for non-bike nerds) these are supremely comfortable for those long rides, keeping the pressure off your tender bits and reducing saddle soreness. The Elite 3D padding is a multi-panel and multi-level design that is lightyears ahead of the cheap foam that comes in sub-$100 shorts, and will keep your concentration on the trail and not on your toosh!

Pearl Izumi have long been recognised as a brand that has offered top-quality bicycle clothing to mountain bikers and road cyclists. Their female range is second to none in terms of quality, fit and value.
