Got these on sale for 50$, which is a great price. I use it for short, <2hr rides.
The fabric is great, soft, enough compression when new. The chamois is not that good, but adequate. The bib straps are decent, but delicate to hold shape during riding.
Pockets are good for small items at the price of adding more fabric and decreased ventilation. I wish pockets were mesh
Sizing is typical for PI
Would I buy it for 160$, he�ll no. For anything close or below 80$, it�s a bargain
My 10 year old PI Toe covers were starting to fall apart so picked up these to replace them. They keep my feet comfortable for 18mph road riding down to upper 30's if I have good core warming gear on, but everyone is different on temperature tolerance. I will say these feel warmer than the ones they replaced, and they are easy enough to put on and give good coverage. My shoes have 2 Boa adjustments so i need to reach under or pull them back to reach that lower adjustment, but very doable based on my experience. I would recommend them.
This is the 3rd pair of these covers that I've purchased. Each last about 2 years commuting daily through the winter months until the velcro wears out and won't stick any more - which is my biggest complaint about them, it's the premium velcro version, but the loop side ultimately frays to the point of not sticking any longer. The Waterproof holds up well with the occasional Nik-Wax wash.
Just bought a pair for this winter (2024), and they're noticeably smaller than my previous sets. I wear a size 44 shoe and the size Large from this year fits tighter than the last 2 sets I've had. It's workable, but tight.
I wear this jersey a couple times a week. I'm 5'10" and about 215 pounds. Initially, I thought I bought a size too small (large) because the first zip up was a little snug, but I have a large belly (about 40 inches). I decided to keep the large, and it fits better the more I ride. I prefer the older style shorter sleeve length, but the elbow length seems to be the style now. I went with the light gray/whitish color because I ride before sunrise, and I feel like the lighter color helps drivers see me. Overall, it fits fairly well, and I'm happy with the jersey.
