Pearl Izumi Symphony Shorts - Women's Black/Deep Lake, L

Pearl Izumi was born out of a father's desire to create a cycling kit for his son. Fast forward decades later and the company is one of the most recognized names in the industry. Apparel is still a staple, however, and its line of women's shorts features cuts and details for every rider. For example, the Elite Shorts and Symphony Shorts both employ the same Elite transfer materials and Elite 3D chamois, but the Pearl Izumi Symphony Women's Shorts have their own multi-panel design that walks that line between form-fitting performance and all-out comfort.

The inseam has been shortened to eight inches from the nearly nine-inch inseam you'll find on the Elite In-R-Cool shorts. Silicone leg grippers hold the leg hems in place without pulling or pinching your skin. Reflecti...
