“We’ve seen a trend towards more foul weather and winter riding and not just on fat bikes. The new Summit collection provides riders with technical gear that allows them to deal with cold and wet conditions, extending the season comfortably.” — Alex Strouthopoulos, senior product manager, Pearl Izumi

<span style="color: #808080;">Pearl Izumi dropped the brand’s FW18 Summit Collection of winter mountain biking pants that includes three styles—the Summit AmFIB Pant, Summit AmFIB Lite Pant and the Summit AmFIB Convertible Pant.
The insulated Summit AmFIB Lite Pant can be worn alone or as a liner over shorts or tights. PI offers a combination of AmFib Lite on the front of the pant, thermal fabric on the back and water shedding properties from PI Dry technology.

The Summit AmFIB Pant is PI’s warmest pant, offering the same design features as the AmFIB Lite pant with added zippers at the lower leg designed to fit securely over larger winter boots.

The Summit AmFIB Convertible Pant is a zip-of version of the Summit Softshell Pant—with the added versatility of a quick conversion to a softshell short. Featuring AmFIB softshell throughout, raw edge construction hides the locking zippers on the short hems and long ankle zippers allow the lower legs to be removed over shoes. Wear over liner shorts or full length PI Dry tights for adjustable winter combo.

Other releases in the collection include the Versa Softshell Hoodie with drop tail hem and reflective elements, back-zip kangaroo pocket for storage without adding bulk and new colors for the Versa Barrier Jacket, and Versa Quilted Hoodie.
