PEARL IZUMI Quest shorts Blue, 2XL

The Quest Short has been the gateway piece for countless cyclists, and for good reason—it’s designed to feel supportive without feeling restrictive. Available in sizes up to 3XL to extend cycling comfort to an wider range of riders. This classic short has our single-density Select Levitate chamois to provide an friction free interface between the saddle and your skin. Transfer fabric made from recycled content wicks moisture to help you stay dry. High quality silicone leg grippers keep the short in place without constricting movement.

Features: - Compressive Transfer fabric keeps you cool, dry, and comfortable - Single-density SELECT Levitate chamois reduces skin abrasion and sit bone discomfort - Short fabric and reflective trims are made from recycled materials - 1” plush elastic waistband - Made with recycled content - BioViz® powerful reflective elements that reach 100 meters for night visibility Specifications: - Fabric: 80% recycled nylon, 20% spandex Technology: Select Levitate Chamois: - Based on the same design philosophy as the more premium PRO and ELITE, this chamois pad delivers incredible performance at a more accessible price point. The key difference is that it’s cut from a single layer of medium-density material, with a thicker cross-section providing comfortable support to the most high-pressure areas. An integrated boundary layer keeps soft, fast-drying fabric next to the skin to minimize friction. This chamois punches above its weight, delivering a ride on par with most mid-range offerings. Levitate Chamois Series: - The Levitate family represents our latest innovation in chamois technology. By combining a multi-density Suspension Core™, super-soft 1:1® Boundary Layer top sheet, and seamless Infinite Edge™ transition, the Levitate lets you float through road and trail chatter so you’ll never bottom out. Reduce Friction: - Cycling is repetitive, so we use high stretch materials, soft face fabrics, and an innovative floating top layer to smooth the movement between your body and the saddle. Provide Support: - While riding, a considerable amount of weight is concentrated on the sit bones, which are about the size of a quarter. Our suspension core design distributes this pressure evenly across a wider area to prevent hot spots and improve long-distance comfort. Keep Skin Dry: - We choose specialized, highly breathable layers to allow moisture to move freely away from your body, maintaining skin health and a chafe-free riding experience. Care: - Use Simple Detergents With No Additives Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave ´´surfactants´´ behind on a fabric´s fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have ´´Clear´´ or ´´Free´´ in their names. Don´t pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. Read The Content Care Label: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a ´´Gentle´´ cycle. Close all zippers, attach ´´hook and loop´´ closures on gloves You Can Use The Dryer, Carefully: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a ´´Hot´´ setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
