Pearl Izumi

I am 165lbs, 6ft and use Medium.

I have been purchasing the Pearl Izumi PRO bib shorts since 2018. I have tried other brands like Castilla, Gorewear, Pactimo but found them lacking in durability and/or comfort.

I ride long miles each year and find that I can get two seasons out of my PRO bib shorts with the compression and fit remaining pretty good and no issues with quality.

My weekend rides are 60+ miles and always reach for the PRO bib shorts as I have not found a better chamois for comfort.

I have been using the Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves for years and as a matter of fact, my recent purchase is because I wore out my previous pair. Not because of poor quality but because they lasted so long. Prior to using the Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves I had a Cancerous spot removed and wanted greater protection because I really do not trust Sun Blockers. I am jazzed to have a new set of Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves which I am sure will last for years to come. Well done Pearl Izumi and BikeTiresDirect for the great price!

Thanks for the great deal!

I'm happy with my purchase so far. I've had them for a couple of months, and have ridden a few dozen hours road, gravel, and singletrack. I find the padding just right and the sizing spot on: 5'7', 145, medium . The drop tail works okay'I do get nervous I'm going to tear something when I use it, but it hasn't yet and probably won't. They're harder and more concerning when very sweaty. I plan to buy another pair'I wish they came in more colors!

In the past year I've tried high end bibs from a number of other brands (Castelli, Santini, Garneau, Assos) but have been disappointed each time by their fit, short inseam length, and poor durability of construction. I went back to Pearl Izumi and tried these PRO level bibs and they have been fantastic. They fit great, sit just above the knee for the whole ride, and the material and chamois are super comfortable. I've ordered several pair now. They aren't cheap, but definitely worth the investment.
