I bought these for my wife since she started indoor cycling and occasionally road cycling. She is barely starting cycling and the fit is great, with the necessary adjustability. They feel very snug without excessive pressure. Breathable enough for indoor and outdoor. Carbon platform transfers power efficiently. Weight is low. Easy to clean. There are some more expensive options, but if you don�t want to spend a lot of money but still want good performance and comfort shoes, these are a great pair of shoes to consider. I don�t think of any downside.
I use this shoe when riding indoors on the trainer. It works well for that intended purpose. Good ventilation and a very light shoe. That lightness does come at the cost of stiffness. It is not a high performance/high watts shoe. Flexes a bit. So if you are looking to smash those Zwift races, this might not be the shoe for you. If you want a breathable shoe that is comfortable for some 3 hr+ endurance torture fests on the trainer, this is a good choice.
I got these tights recently and have only used them once but they felt great. I used them in a ride with temperatures in the 40s and they performed great. Very comfortable and kept me warm.
Like every other Pearl Izumi product I've ever purchased, choosing the right size is a crapshoot. I usually wear a size large or extra large glove. I measured my palm according to the instructions in the size chart and was borderline between L and XL, so I ordered the XL. They fit me, but snug. I used them for the first time today with the temperature in the low to mid 30's, and when I stopped during my ride and took them off for a couple of minutes during a stop, they were almost impossible to get back on. If I were to buy them again, I would buy the 2XL. On sale, they are a good value, but not at full msrp.
