The Women's Escape Quest Short are the best budget cycling shorts money can buy. These Pearl Izumi classics are a perfect introduction to the benefits of padded cycling shorts. Updated in 2017 with the new Women’s SELECT Escape 1:1™ Chamois, these cycling shorts are more comfortable than ever before.
Crafted with long ride comfort at the top of the list, we have paired our most supportive and breathable Women’s PRO Escape 1:1® Chamois with luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric, to create a short that you will reserve for your most important rides. Just seven carefully engineered panels are used to minimize seaming for a perfect contour to your body. The elegant seamless hem creates a smooth transition from short to skin for a sleek, high performance look and feel, with a printed silicone gripper to hold it securely in place even during hard efforts.
We made some exciting updates to this consistently best-selling style. The waistband is redesigned to give this short compression through the sides and back, while reducing constriction across the stomach for improved comfort and unrestricted breathing. It’s cut from a fabric made with recycled polyester yarns, and we’ve used the material’s natural stretch to reduce seams and increase comfort while simultaneously creating a stellar fit for even the most dynamic riding. It includes our comfortable and highly breathable Women’s SELECT Escape 1:1™ chamois.
Crafted with long ride comfort at the top of the list, we have paired our most supportive and breathable Women’s PRO 1:1® Escape chamois with luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric, to create a bib short that you will reserve for your most important rides. Wide, laser cut bib straps eliminate the need for additional binding allowing a barely there, yet supportive fit, and our unique crossover strap design allows drop-tail convenience without the need for zippers or clasps. The raw edge hem creates a smooth transition from short to skin for a sleek, high performance look and feel, with a printed silicone gripper to hold it securely in place all day long.
Our shortest short is perfect for riding in a hot studio or on a midsummer day, and we’ve updated the fabric for a softer feel and less sheen than traditional bike shorts. The wide waistband is cut high in back for coverage and the front is designed for less restriction and increased comfort. It includes our comfortable and highly breathable Women’s SELECT Escape 1:1™ chamois.
This women’s cycling bib short is the answer to riding in hotter conditions where storage for food and other necessities is in demand, whether it’s gravel rides or indoor training sessions where you might opt for just a baselayer and still need to hold a snack or phone. Two pockets on the thighs can either be used to increase carrying capacity or provide an alternative to a traditional cycling jersey. Open mesh side panels allow for greater breathability, while a printed leg gripper keeps the hem reliably in place. Our plush women’s ELITE Escape chamois provides superior in-the-saddle comfort.
This bib uses more muscle hugging Lycra® than any short in our line, for a performance feel the moment you slip them on. A sophisticated seven panel design utilizes the stretch and recovery properties of the fabric to simplify the number of seams, allowing the short to smoothly follow your every movement. Seamless laser cut bib straps provide the smooth support you desire from a bib, with a unique twist: they are connected only to the front and side of the short, allowing for a convenient drop-tail. The back waistband and hems use the same laser cut fabric, for a low-bulk seamless feel and transition to skin. Equipped with our highly breathable premium Women’s ELITE Escape 1:1® Chamois for long ride comfort.
