Enjoy cool-weather riding with the soft and comfortable Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Cycling Tights. Designed to protect your hard-working muscles with well-regulated warmth and superior moisture transfer, the Elite Thermal Tights are constructed with high-performance Thermal UltraSensor fabric. The Thermal UltraSensor fabric has a brushed inner surface to trap warmth, while dual-layer yarn technology transfers moisture away from the skin to the garment's outer surface for fast evaporation so you stay warm, dry, and comfortable as you exert.

Designed for long hours in the saddle, the Elite Thermal Cycling Tights are bike ready with a top-quality 3D Elite Chamois. The extremely supportive and flexible four-way stretch 3D Elite Chamois has 13 millimeters of moisture-wicking, plush microfiber padding, providing the protection you need for long grueling rides. The four-way stretch design provides a perfect fit, and differentiated padding levels in key areas reduce pressure points. With the top-performing transfer-fabric capabilities that Pearl Izumi is known for, the Chamois disperses heat and moisture from the groin with perforated UltraSensor transfer fabric, carbon yarns, and natural silver antimicrobial fibers that reduce bacteria and help regulate temperature for long-lasting comfort.

With an ergonomic eight-panel design and low-profile flatlock seams, the Elite Thermal Cycling Tights offer zero-abrasion comfort and a streamlined profile. The tights feature an ultra-comfortable wide waistband that lays softly against the skin. Offset seven-inch zippers with locking tabs make it easy to take the tights on and off over shoes, and gripper elastic at the leg openings keeps tights in place. The tights are detailed with reflective piping on the ankle zips and a reflective splice above the ankle zips for low-light visibility.

Like all Pearl Izumi products the Women's Elite Thermal Cycling Tights have a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in materials and workmanship, excluding failures from accidents, misuse, improper care, or normal wear. For best results Pearl Izumi recommends washing its products with detergents free of additives, such as fabric softeners and perfumes, because detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. The best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Hang dry the product or dry it on a low or warm dryer setting. Never use a hot dryer setting or use a commercial dryer as this will damage the fabric's performance.
