good...but

Rating:****
These are great for temps from 25 degrees down to zero, for commuting. I don't think they would work as well for a long training ride, as you would probably become too warm. The ankle zips are very high quality, smooth and durable, unlike slightly cheaper tights. However, the biggest problem with these, as well as other Pearl Izumi products, is wildly variable fit amongst the same size/model on the rack. You can try on three mediums, and one will be large, one will be medium, and one will be small. ALWAYS try them on in the shop! They will stretch as you wear them, not shrink, so rather slightly tight than slightly loose. All windtights will be wrinkly looking compared to stretchy regular tights, don't think they don't fit, it's just the windproof fabric that doesn't stretch out the wrinkles!

Good for cycling - not for skiing

Rating:****
Overall a nice set of winter tights. The quality of construction if very good except that the Pearl Izumi logo started to peel off after the first use. Also they fit very tight. I had to exchange for one size bigger than what they recommended and they still fit skin tight. They would also fit me better if they came up higher on my hips. In addition to cycling I wanted to use these for XC skiing but the leg zippers interfered with my boot. Even with these issues I would still buy again.

Perfect for riding

Rating:*****
As an avid road biker, I try to get out as much as I can. I purchased these pants to extend my riding into the winter months. It is money very well spent. These pants keep the perfect temperature anywhere from just below freezing to the mid 60s, even in light rain.

Negative Reviews:

Warm, but nakes your back

Rating:**
I have to stop several times a ride to pull these tights up. They are as short on back as my running tights, but maybe even shorter. Not enourh room for men's parts. No padding at all. Have a hole after just 1 moderate fall. Not warm in the most freezing places. I think these tights is not a good choice.

Neutral Reviews:

Well made bibs

Rating:***

Sizing is for the long-leg skinnier crowd. No way to take up excess leg length than folding material around the knee or "rolling a cuff". No - seatpad which is great because I mainly use the Bibs for Skate Skiing (X-Country).
