There are several things to know about womens cycling shorts. One of the most important things you have to know is that it does not matter if you are buying Pearl izumi womens garments, or if you are shopping for womens cycling shorts from another designer, each manufacturer has slight differences and you need to try them before you buy them.

Pearl izumi womens garments are designed for comfort of the rider and for looks as well. These garments may seem a little expensive when you first look at the price tag, but you must remember that womens cycling shorts range in price from twenty dollars to one hundred dollars. The cheaper selections will have less layers of material and will not last as long as the more expensive pieces do.

When you envision womens cycling shorts you may see the tight fitting versions that are made from spandex and are usually either black or really brightly colored. These are one of the most popular styles of shorts to wear when you are bike riding because they make you more aerodynamic and they are really comfortable for the individual. There are styles that do not fit as tightly, and even styles that have pockets in them. You have to do some shopping and try some of these items out before you can decide which of them you like best.

The inseams on these garments come in different lengths just like the inseams on all other shorts, jeans, and Capri pants that women wear. On the bike riders shorts the inseam is generally long enough to allow the garment to come to a stop just above the knee of the cyclists. This is more for comfort when riding than for the stylish appearance. With the material covering the inner thigh completely the person riding the bike will have less chaffing and irritation from peddling the equipment. This means they will be more comfortable and able to enjoy their ride more. The shorter versions of these garments are meant for the people who are riding at the gym or for the people who are leisure riding on the weekends. Competitors like the longer lengths and the tighter fits.

There are garments that have elastic waist on them and some that are worn with suspenders over the shoulders. These are mainly just a matter of preference. Some people find the suspenders to be more comfortable than the elastic waist bands when they are bent over in a riding position for a long period of time.

The amount of padding you choose to have in your garment is purely a matter of comfort. The padding is placed there to make the riding of the bike more comfortable for you.
