The Women's Escape Quest Short are the best budget cycling shorts money can buy. These Pearl Izumi classics are a perfect introduction to the benefits of padded cycling shorts, but carry more overall performance and comfort than could be expected from a $50 cycling short. The key details are here- SELECT Transfer Dry fabric to keep you cooler and drier, silicone leg grippers that reduce the need for strong elastic, reducing constriction, a flat, wide, and effective waist band that distributes pressure and hold, reducing abdominal discomfort, and a clean overall look and design.

Previously updated with the excellent Women’s SELECT Escape 1:1™ Chamois, these cycling shorts are more comfortable than ever before. The chamois pad is smooth on the skin, and has blended, edge free cushioning that delivers great comfort without excessive thickness. peal even uses their BioViz™ reflective elements for a touch of safety. Many new cyclists start off with the Escape Quest Short, and many never feel the need to buy anything else. It is a great product for the price and valued for it's durability when properly cared for as well.
