A little while back, Devon at Outside PR hooked me up with some fab Pearl Izumi gear to review. Since I have big, wide feet, I didn't fit into their new sneakers (booo!), so she sent over 2 tops and a pair of cycling shirts.
I've worn Pearl Izumi socks, and knew they were a big name in cycling gear, but didn't know they were into Running & Triathlon gear!
The first running top I tried out was the W INFINITY IN-R-COOL SS in Pink!

This top features:
*Superior skin cooling & moisture management
*Direct vent panels for ventilation
*Reflective elements for low visibility
*Sun Protection 50
*Semi-form fit

| Love the back design! |
My opinion?
Not only is it super light weight, and feels great on a run, it fits super flattering too! The color block panels on the side are slimming! As you can see from my back shot, they curve in giving the illusion of a smaller waist line (love it!). I've worn it on several runs at the gym, and contemplated it as a race top. So far, I think it is a great top!
Next up is the W AURORA tank
It features:
*Special moisture transfer fabric
*Inner Bra (not enough support for me)
*Reflective elements for low visibility
*Sun block 50
*Semi form fit
I liked the racerback design, the lightweight feel to the top & the design on the side. I felt like this was another really slimming top. I felt like it didn't cling to areas of my midsection that I wish it wouldn't, but instead laid neatly and cleanly on my curves.

I am already trying to plot what race I can wear this top in!
Last, but not least was an awesome pair of cycling shorts.
The W Symphony Short (with pink trim!)
The Chamois is super thick, which is certainly not ideal for triathlons, but has been awesome for hours on the bike trainer. I wore it on my first outdoor ride yesterday and loved how cushy they were & that they never rode up or moved on my legs.

They feature:
*Elite transfer fabric with IN-R-Cool technology
* silicone leg grippers
*One side pocket
*The Elite DC Chamois
*8" inseam
*Sun protection 50

All in all, thanks so much for the new Pearl Izumi gear that I love! I'll definitely be checking out their stuff more often!
Now, Check out where the magic happens!
