Men's Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

I like these. Only one warning: large was waay too large. I exchanged for a medium and it fit great so they run big.
BUT
I like the white side. Kinda racy sometimes. These tights have a built in double layer in the front to support the jewels so you do not have to wear underwear. But sometimes I feel like wearing my running jockstrap for comfort or briefs. Kinda racy because it shows straight through. Everybody around can tell you are wearing a jockstrap or a brief! But the black covers up the critical areas so it is not too much. A couple of friends and the gfs friends have said "nice tighty whities" or "I can see you wear a jockstrap". Interesting slightly voyeuristic thrill.

As an avid runner, I used this pair of knickers during the Endurance Challenge at Pine Mt Georgia. With a cool start and most of the run in shade, they proved tyhe perfect pick. Very supportive, not overly warm, and extremely comfortable, even after hours of running. Will definately use these over and over, especially on thes not so cold Florida mornings where I commute to and from work via bicycle!

Exactly as the ad reads, "when tights are too much and shorts are not enough."

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

Great craftsmanship, as expected with PI.
Exceptionally good at not retaining odor.
Perfect for 30 - 45F days when shorts and tights might leave you uncomfortable at some point during the run.

I can see myself looking like a dork in these during my next marathon but being more comfortable that I ever have been before.

Pearl Izumi is the best stuff and this did not disappoint! True to size or maybe a little small. Quality.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

Quality seems to be good as you would expect from PI, but significantly thinner than I was expecting.

I am a avid runner and cyclist and I use these tights for both. During my slightly cold weather runs/bikes in 30+ F degrees these feel great and look great wearing them. I really like the inner shell in the torso area so that it is separate from the outer shell. I don't feel the cold in that area, especially during bike rides in 30+ F degree weather. Makes me want to wear them all the time. Even under my jeans.

Wore for a marathon and daily training for temps in the 30s to 40s. Now Iown four pairs.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

This is my 3rd pair of these. I like them better than shorts in the gym. It's especially nice that they have an extra liner, making over-shorts an option, not a requirement.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

If use this for jogging. The leg openings stay put around my calves. The built-in liner is a perfect feature. Also, I like the built-in zippered key pocket in the back.

After moving to central Florida the "winter" shocked me a bit so I had to go and buy tights. But since it doesn't get "real" cold down here I just needed something that was light weight warmth. I bought them just hoping they'd be enough to keep me warm. So far so good. Of course I've only worn them on mornings that were in the high 40's. I don't think they'd be good for sub freezing temps. But luckily we have very few of them.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

These are worth the cost. The 3/4 tights are easier to get on with the larger leg opening also. Perfect for cool to colder running weather without the bulk of track pants.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

Great for running in during those in between weather days where tights are too much but shorts don't seem like enough. Also, they are a little different so it isn't like wearing the same thing all the time.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

good for cool days but not cold days. best used as a base layer beneath running pants for cold days. otherwise, nothing too fancy or spectacular about these tights. appropriately priced.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

I use these for running when shorts are not enough. I like being cool when I run so tights are almost always overkill. With these and a pair of compression shorts underneath I have run in single digits and not been too uncomfortable. The construction is very good though I do think the thighs run a bit large. If the fit were a bit truer to size I would have given them a 5 star rating.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

I use these knee length tights for cardio workouts and step class at the gym. PI products are very well made, with good elastic bands at the bottom and fast moisture evaporation. There is an inner liner. Newer models run big in the hips, so I went a size smaller. Please come out with more colors! Recommended.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Phase Splice Knicker Capri Tights:

These are my first 3/4 length tights and they are a simply well-designed and comfortable product. So good, in fact, that I bought two pairs. They work as advertised and provide a consistent level of compression throughout. Also, as a rare but welcome bit of information, these tights don't seem to be prone to that abrasive post-workout, post-dry, pre-wash odor that's usually associated with synthetic material. I would definitely recommend them.
