PEARL iZUMi Expedition Short - Women´s

Expedition Short blends compression, comfort, and cargo storage for gravel and adventure rides

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"For long gravel rides and multi-day bikepacking adventures, the Expedition Short is my go-to. The ELITE Levitate 3D chamois keeps me comfortable even on rough roads, and the extended waistband prevents pinching or discomfort. The cargo storage is a game-changer—thigh and lumbar pockets make it easy to stash snacks, tools, or a phone without needing a jersey. These shorts are a great choice for anyone who wants bib-like performance with added versatility."

When the road turns to gravel and the adventure stretches into the unknown, the Expedition Short is built to go the distance. Designed for comfort on long rides, these shorts feature a supportive yet flexible fit with a high waistband that won’t dig in or shift as we move.

The ELITE Levitate 3D chamois absorbs road chatter to keep us comfortable hour after hour, while compressive nylon fabric provides just the right amount of muscle support. Thoughtful storage—including two thigh cargo pockets with mesh security and a lumbar pocket—ensures we have space for essentials, whether we´re out for a quick spin or a multi-day bikepacking trip. With BioViz® reflective details for visibility in low light, these shorts are made for adventure.
