Pearl Izumi

This is the 3rd pair of these covers that I've purchased. Each last about 2 years commuting daily through the winter months until the velcro wears out and won't stick any more - which is my biggest complaint about them, it's the premium velcro version, but the loop side ultimately frays to the point of not sticking any longer. The Waterproof holds up well with the occasional Nik-Wax wash.

Just bought a pair for this winter (2024), and they're noticeably smaller than my previous sets. I wear a size 44 shoe and the size Large from this year fits tighter than the last 2 sets I've had. It's workable, but tight.

Holding strong after several months of daily 4-5 hour long use. No frayed edges, no loose threads, and no uncomfortable seam placement. The fabric is four-way stretch and soft. The wrist band fits well to my wrist, and the rest of the glove is a bit more loose on my hand. The soft, flexible, and see-through plastic used on the pads of the fingers and palm of the hand have excellent grip and I love that I can use my phone if I need to without taking off my gloves.

I rate a 4/5 stars because of the shape of the finger tips on the glove, maybe they are sewn with a longer finger in mind, but the very tip of the fingers come to a point that folds over on itself and does unfortunately take away from the plastic grippy feature for touch screen use. I plan to sew the fingers to be shorter and make some minor fitting adjustments to the rest of the glove. I bought a size small and my hands definitely have a lot (maybe a little too much) room. I also happened to buy these on sale so I got two pairs for about $24 which is so cheap I almost feel bad 'complaining' about the fingers and fit of the glove, however hopefully this will help another buyer plan to buy a size down if they enjoy a very very snug fit the way that I do.

I wear this jersey a couple times a week. I'm 5'10" and about 215 pounds. Initially, I thought I bought a size too small (large) because the first zip up was a little snug, but I have a large belly (about 40 inches). I decided to keep the large, and it fits better the more I ride. I prefer the older style shorter sleeve length, but the elbow length seems to be the style now. I went with the light gray/whitish color because I ride before sunrise, and I feel like the lighter color helps drivers see me. Overall, it fits fairly well, and I'm happy with the jersey.

These shorts are not the perfect shorts but they are the closest thing to perfect. As far as the padding, it is placed in the perfect position for me, they have the correct density of padding for me, the chamois could of been a little more narrower in between the legs while standing but the extra material isn't noticed while riding which is important, owning several different brands, i prefer these over the rest.

Definitely will buy again.
