Pearl Izumi

These are perfect for rain and a bit of warmth.

The 2-part velcro closures in back make a perfect fit and make it easier to put on.

Size L fit both my size 43 Lake road shoes as well as my size 43.5 Sidi mountain shoes. However, I needed XL for my Shimano size 44 Shimano SH-EX300 "city" shoe that's more of a tennis shoe style.

Luckily, the XL works well for all those shoes, including the size 43 road shoes. So, don't be afraid to size up.

I'm 5'11 185 ish, I wear Lrg in the Pro Bibs. I wanted regular bike shorts to wear on my indoor trainer.. After reading the reviews on the Attack shorts I felt like I should order them in XL... That was a mistake. They're not so big that I can't wear them but they certainly don't fit as snug as I prefer. Perhaps those people saying how small they run might not be as familiar with PI'S fit. Long story short. if u wear lrg in PI bibs get lrg in the Attack shorts. and for cross brand frame of reference I wear XL bibs from Castelli & Assos. Hope this is useful

Keeps the rain off, and is hard for drivers to NOT see the screaming yellow! When Wisconsin brings a cool and drizzly day it's comfy with a base layer or long sleeved shirt. Also works as a heavier kind of wind breaker.

Because I have front & rear lights on my helmet, I folded the front couple of inches of the hood into the hood, and held it in place with a little carpet tape. That allows it to fit inside my helmet without blocking my peripheral vision or the helmet lights.

I've worn Pearl Izumi Pro shorts for several years. I've considered Castelli, as nearly everything else in my kit is Castelli, but Pearl Pro shorts never disappoint. They are not inexpensive, but after 30+ years of cycling, I've learned not to take shortcuts on shorts. The chamois does not chafe, and provides good padding, enough for my 61yr old backside to handle 2 to 3 hour rides. Seems like there was a near revolt in the last couple years by long time Pearl wearers regarding design changes, but I have no complaints with the tweaks they have made. I'm 6'2" and weigh 170 to 172lbs, and a medium short works well for me. I've read past reviews where people feel the front is cut too low, but I've not encountered any issues with my lower torso showing itself. The leg grippers are sticky and wide. I've not had issues with leg warmers or knee warmers working their way loose. The overall fit and amount of compression work very well for me.
