Women’s Road & Gravel Cycling Apparel
Ride for the work, not the look. Our women’s road & gravel cycling apparel is built to disappear under pressure—breathable jerseys, supportive women’s bib shorts, and weatherproof layers tuned for speed on tarmac and range on gravel. No extra. All essential.
Road Speed. Gravel Range.
From aero efforts to all‑day horizon hunts, this collection covers both. Pair cycling jerseys with shorts & bib shorts for warm‑weather pace, then add jackets & vests when wind or elevation swings hit. For mixed terrain, explore Women’s Gravel for abrasion‑resistant fabrics and secure storage.
Layering for Wind, Rain & Cold
Base: moisture‑moving layers that keep skin dry and effort smooth.
Mid: breathable jerseys—short sleeve for heat, thermal long sleeve when it turns.
Outer: wind shells for chill control; seam‑sealed rain jackets for storms.
Lower: tights & bib tights for deep season; stashable warmers for shoulder days.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Race fits run second‑skin for efficiency. Performance fits stay close without bind for training and long rides. Classic fits leave a touch more room without losing ride function. Use our Size & Fit Guide to lock your size.
Why PEARL iZUMi for Women’s Road & Gravel?
Women‑specific chamois and patterns tuned for real riding positions. Details that matter—secure pockets, raw‑edge finishes, reflective hits—and durable fabrics that stand up to grit.
FAQ
Shorts or bib shorts—what’s better for long rides?
Bibs remove the waistband and keep the chamois centered—ideal for endurance. Start with our How to Choose Cycling Shorts & Bibs guide.
What layers do I need for shoulder season?
Run a breathable base, a thermal jersey or mid‑layer, and a wind or rain shell you can vent on climbs and stash when it warms.
Are these pieces good for bikepacking?
Yes—choose durable, storage‑ready jerseys or bibs, and add a breathable rain layer for variable conditions.
