Thermal tights have long been a staple for cold-weather cycling; however, that cold weather often comes with precipitation and road spray, and all the thermal insulation in the world is useless once the tights get wet and your chamois becomes a stingy, sodden torture device. The Pursuit Thermal Cycling Tights address this longstanding ill with Pearl Izumi's PI Dry treatment, a water-repellent finish that encourages water to bead-up and roll-off instead of soak-in and ruin your ride. Behind the PI Dry protection, Pearl still uses the same lightly brushed, soft synthetic to insulate while banishing internal moisture before it, too, becomes a chilly pain. The articulated panel lay-out and high-stretch material also keep restriction to a minimum.
