Pearl Izumi

The PI Attack short is good ! And I am a long-time, over 30 years, rider. So I am very very particular about what I wear and the equipment I use. My old brand of shorts all "gave-out"...so I decided to go back to Pearl Izumi, particularly for their new Leviate chamois . I think it is excellent !

And so many other brands, never say much about their chamois, or even show you a picture of them in their listings or advertising. To me, this a major mistake ...or maybe they just don't care.

Also, the Attack short is a very good value, priced right, from Bike Tires !

The fit is tight, so be aware...but the support is very good.

I also ride with the Pro short..which is even a bit more better. Also very tight, but good !

I recently had to replace all of my older bike shorts, of another brand, and I decided to go back to my old Pearl Izumi's that I used to ride years ago. The Men's PRO Short I found to be excellent, if you are looking for a very good thick chamois. These short are very tight, but offer excellent support and comfort, if you have the body for what I call a "race-cut". They are pricey, but so are a lot of the other top brands, but overall, a great short. I know it can be hit or miss with bike shorts, but I found the Levitate Pro Chamois to be excellent !

This jersey is *warm, *very comfortable, *breathable (I can't cope with membrane jackets above about 40-45 F - I sweat too much), *available in bright colors (not death-defying camouflage or black), *long-wearing. It's my go-to winter jersey, and getting one around half-off is always a treat.

Just be aware Pearl Izumi sizes run much larger than euro-company sizes.

The sale price was right. These Thermal shorts fit as great as the thermal,PI, 3/4 bib tights do. Great for the cooler weather here in the north country. The chamois is super thick and gives great comfort for however long my rides are. I've ordered a 2nd pair of the thermal,3/4 bibs. No knee warmers needed with them. PI makes great thermal clothing with a terrific chamois.
