PEARL IZUMI SUMMIT AMFIB
MSRP: $200

Pearl Izumi’s warmest pant, the Summit AmFib, keeps us warm through the doldrums of winter, whether we’re commuting by fat bike or out for that very last trail ride of the year. The Summit AmFib employs Pearl’s own Elite AmFib Softshell, with a fleecy backing, to insulate against the chill and provide a water resistant outer. This stretchy fabric gives us a wide range of motion for our pedaling pursuits, while the tapered ankle keeps out of the way of our crankset.

Whether the trail report calls for brambles or fall days are upon us, the Pearl Izumi Launch Trail Pant keeps us protected during singletrack rides. The lightweight fabric breathes well and dries quickly, so we can stay comfortable between the climb up and the shred back down the trails. The fit allows for wearing a chamois liner short and knee pads when desired, and the tapered leg keeps the hem well out of way of the chain.

FOX FLEXAIR PANTS
MSRP: $140

FIT: Regular Fit with an Aggressive Taper

Let’s start with the fact that the Flexair Pant is Fox Racing’s solution to our need for a versatile pant that can be as much of a workhorse as a speedy companion. They’re designed with a super-light construction thanks to TruMotion all-way stretch fabrics, and that means we’re seeing increased mobility like no other. TruDri fabrics wick moisture away from the body to keep us dry, so we can carry on huffing and puffing up those gnarly climbs without overheating. Body-mapped laser perforations on the front and back are designed to keep us cool no matter where we’re riding, and we are a big fan of the tapered leg design that reduces the risk of snags.
