PEARL iZUMi

Summit Shell Short - Women's

4-way stretch synthetic fabric is designed to stretch in all directions—up and down, as well as side to side. This flexibility allows for a full range of motion, making it ideal for activities like running, cycling, or hiking. The synthetic materials also tend to be lightweight and moisture-wicking, keeping you comfortable during intense workouts.

A chamois is a padded insert found in cycling shorts that provides cushioning and reduces chafing during long rides. It enhances comfort by absorbing shock and preventing irritation. If you're planning on long biking sessions, look for shorts with a chamois for added comfort.

The inseam measurement indicates the length of the shorts from the crotch to the bottom hem. An inseam of 11.5 inches is typically designed for a comfortable fit that allows for movement without being too long or short. Choosing the right inseam can help ensure that the shorts fit well and perform effectively during physical activities.

An integrated belt is built into the shorts, providing a streamlined look and eliminating the need for a separate accessory. This feature helps keep the shorts securely in place during movement, ensuring comfort and convenience without the bulk of an additional belt.

A relaxed fit means the clothing is designed to be loose and comfortable rather than tight-fitting. This style is perfect for those who prioritize freedom of movement, making it an excellent choice for activities like trail running or downhill biking. If you prefer a more laid-back, comfortable feel in your activewear, a relaxed fit is ideal.

Absolutely! While these shorts may feature a chamois for cycling comfort, their 4-way stretch synthetic fabric and relaxed fit make them suitable for a variety of activities, including running, hiking, and casual wear. They are designed to provide comfort and flexibility, making them versatile for any active lifestyle.
