Women's Pi PRO/BLACK

Women's Pi PRO/BLACK

Pi PRO/BLACK is our pinnacle road system, and the women's Pi PRO/BLACK line is built for riders who measure effort in watts rather than words. Italian-engineered stretch-woven fabrics, race-calibrated cuts, and sweat-activated cooling combine into a five-piece kit designed to disappear under pressure and prove itself deep into the miles.

What Is in the System

Jersey: ultra-light stretch woven fabric nearly 30% lighter than our standard PRO Jersey, with a compressive second-skin fit, raised ribbed sleeves for a smoother airflow profile, and UPF 50+ sun protection.

Mesh Jersey: 12% lighter again, with an ultra-light Italian mesh body that moves moisture fast and keeps airflow high on the hottest, hardest efforts. Built with recycled materials.

Bib Shorts: over 20% lighter than our PRO Bib Shorts, with graduated compression, a seamless bib upper, raw-edge hems, and the PRO Levitate™ 3D triple-density chamois.

Wind Vest: our lightest vest ever, with a wind-blocking front panel, Italian mesh back, two-way YKK zipper, and PFAS-free PI Dry® water repellency.

Aero Socks: 15 grams, with a ribbed stretch-woven upper that smooths airflow and a 360 degree arch tension band that holds the fit through max efforts. Shared across men's and women's.

The Technology

Sweat-activated In-R-Cool® with HeiQ Smart Temp regulates body heat as the effort spikes, driving active evaporative cooling exactly when you need it. BioViz™ reflectivity carries visibility to 100 meters, GoFresh™ anti-odor treatment keeps fabrics fresher across back-to-back rides, and PI Dry® water repellency on the Wind Vest is PFAS-free.

Fit and Sizing

Every piece runs compressive and race-length: low-profile collars, shortened torsos, and no excess fabric to flap at speed. The Bib Shorts use 9.5 inch inseams with bonded grippers and raw-edge hems that stay put without pinching. A droptail bib upper makes off-bike stops far easier without stripping the whole kit. Use the Size & Fit Guide to lock your size, and the Chamois Guide to understand how the Levitate platform is built.

When to Ride It

This is a warm and hot weather road kit. The Mesh Jersey is the pick when the heat peaks, the standard Jersey covers warm days and hard efforts, and the packable Wind Vest handles early starts, fast descents, and wind. For a fuller seasonal breakdown, see the Hot Weather Guide and the Road Cycling Guide.

Where It Sits in the Line

Pi PRO/BLACK: the full nine-piece collection across men's and women's, including the shared Aero Socks.

PRO: our race-level tier, and the reference point Pi PRO/BLACK is built lighter than.

PI/Red: precision compression and infrared cooling at a lower entry point, including a non-bib short option.

All Women's Road: the complete road assortment if you are building beyond a single kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about PEARL iZUMi products.

  • Pi PRO/BLACK is PEARL iZUMi's pinnacle road system. The women's line covers five pieces: a Jersey, a Mesh Jersey, Bib Shorts, a Wind Vest, and Aero Socks. Every piece uses Italian-engineered fabrics, a compressive race-calibrated fit, and sweat-activated In-R-Cool® cooling. Browse the full line in Pi PRO/BLACK.

  • Pi PRO/BLACK is built lighter than PRO across the board. The Pi PRO/BLACK Jersey is nearly 30% lighter than the standard PRO Jersey, and the Bib Shorts are over 20% lighter than the PRO Bib Shorts, using an Italian stretch-woven fabric with graduated compression. The Wind Vest is the lightest we have made. Compare against Women's PRO to see where each tier lands.

  • Compressive and close, like a second skin. Jerseys use a low-profile collar and a shortened race-length torso so nothing bunches in the drops, and the compression is tuned to support circulation and reduce fatigue rather than simply feel tight. If you prefer more room, a performance or classic fit from another tier will suit you better. The Size & Fit Guide shows how the fits compare.

  • The PRO Levitate 3D triple-density chamois, which contours adaptively under pressure for friction-free comfort on long, hard efforts. The bib pairs it with a seamless upper, raw-edge hems, and 9.5 inch inseams to eliminate bulk and pressure points. Our Chamois Guide explains how the densities work.

  • Pi PRO/BLACK uses sweat-activated In-R-Cool® with HeiQ Smart Temp. As your body heats up and you begin to sweat, the treatment activates active evaporative cooling, so temperature regulation ramps with the effort instead of running constantly. That keeps you drier through sustained intensity rather than only at the start of a ride.

  • Warm and hot road riding. As a starting point, reach for the Mesh Jersey around 75°F and up, the standard Jersey from roughly 60 to 75°F, and add the packable Wind Vest for early starts, fast descents, and wind. For deeper seasonal guidance see the Hot Weather Guide.

  • Choose Pi PRO/BLACK for the lightest fabrics, the triple-density PRO Levitate 3D chamois, and the most aggressive race fit. Choose Women's PI/Red for precision compression with In-R-Cool® infrared and coldblack heat-absorption control, the dual-density ELITE Levitate 3D chamois, and a non-bib short option. PI/Red is the more accessible entry into a matched road kit; Pi PRO/BLACK is the pinnacle.
