Great fit and comfort. Been using in 40-50 degree +/-temps.

About what I expected - no frills but well made. Straps tend to curl up when you're putting them on. Basic foam padding. Run a bit small. I'm 5'9', 135 and a Medium fits snug. Worth the sale price.

These knickers are excellent quality, but the fit is a little hard to nail down. I am around 6" and 170 lbs, and in Pearl shorts I am easily a medium. However, with these knickers, you have to consider the way the pant legs creep up if they are too small. All of a sudden, you are riding along with bunched fabric behind your legs! I tried the mediums out first and immediately had this problem. With the large, there is no problem at all!

These 3/4 bibs were better in the past with more durable Lycra and better straps. These are ok for cool weather but nothing special. The straps tend to curl up when you're putting them on but they stay in place after you flatten them out. The padding is basic but comfortable on 2-3 hour rides. They do run small. I am 5-9 and 135, I usually wear Small but with these PI's a Medium is still a snug fit. Basic good-enough stuff.

What I like best about Pearl Izumi is that they provide more material in the belly area which prevent mine from sticking out from under my jersey.

I really like these bib 3/4 length knickers. I have older Pearl Izumi select knickers, these are more comfortable, the chamois is good and dense enough for long rides without feeling like a diaper. I am 5'9" 170 lbs and they fit perfectly.

These are definitely lightweight, perfect for my 45 - 60 degree riding here in the San Francisco Bay area. Straps are great! They do bunch up behind the knee when new, but get better with wear. Don't buy for really cold weather. More like a windbreaker on lower legs.
