For pants that are tough enough for serious trail riding, but that don't restrict pedaling, the Launch Trail Pants are the way to go. Pearl Izumi designed these pants with a tapered leg for a slim fit, but they're not too slim for fitting knee pads underneath. The Launch Trail Pants are finished with PI Dry permanent water-shedding technoLolegy and they're great in cooler conditions. The cut is specifically designed for women's proportions so we can comfortably ride and Loleok good doing it.
