What customers say about the Pearl iZUMi Women’s Quest Cycling Short
[Rated:4.5/5]
There were many positive reviews for these cycling shorts. One reviewer stated that as a beginner cyclist, these shorts made cycling go from unbearable to bearable. They have a decent amount of padding, and the length and feel are great. They stay in place well. The padding isn’t too bulky, so I can comfortably run in them after cycling, which should make them great for a triathlon.
Many reviewers said they just started spinning at the local gym. And one woman got these and felt they are a good standard, pretty much exactly as I imagined them. Fit is true to size and the legs have grips on the bottom so they do not ride up. Overall, a good purchase!
There is always a concern about fit and this reviewer mentioned she was apprehensive buying “padded biking shorts”, having never bought anything like this before,…even directly from a store after trying one on. But when I got these, they fit like a glove!! I used the sizing table given, using my exact measurements. (If you haven’t recently and carefully measured yourself, you may want to do this before picking your size.)
Another reviewer felt for the price and quality, just buy them already. If you are thinking about purchasing them, do it. I have recently become a road cyclist starting at the beginning of this summer. I had one pair of shorts, and really needed a second pair. As a graduate student I was only looking to spend around $30 for a new pair. The other shorts that I have cost about the same as these, but are no where near as good.
The Pearl iZUMi Womens Quest Cycling Short offers great value for a padded entry level short.
