Product Description

With 11 millimeters of thick, dense padding in key areas, the Pearl Izumi Men's Attack Bike Shorts won't wage war on your package. A 9-inch inseam covers your thighs without bothering your knees, while the Attack Shorts' eight-panel, ergonomic design allows for smooth pedaling without fabric-bunching. Pearl Izumi included silver antimicrobial ions in these shorts' chamois lining to cut down on odor, while fusion technology bonds the padding in these shorts so there's less chafing while you're on the road.

About Pearl Izumi
More than 50 years ago in Tokyo, a father produced Japan's first bicycle racing apparel for his son, a promising racer. He named his soon-to-be-established company Pearl Izumi, derived from the gem "pearl" and an area of Japan known for its clear water ("Izumi"). Literally translated, the name means "fountain of pearls." Distributed in the U.S. since 1981, Pearl Izumi USA sponsored the U.S. national team in 1984 and several major trade teams during the mid-'80s, helping the company earn an almost cult-like following among cyclists. The Pearl Izumi USA line is dedicated to meeting the needs of the serious sport enthusiast, including not just cyclists but cross-country skiers, triathletes, duathletes, runners, and more.

Customer Reviews

Super comfort, great value, excellent performance
(Preface: I'm a road cyclist with 30 years of experience. I ride 5 days per week in the summer, and 2 days per week in the winter. I'm not a racer, but I ride challenging rides in the farmland and mountains of Colorado.)

I've ridden dozens of shorts over the years, from many manufacturers. These Pearl Izumi shorts are my favorites of them all. They're comfortable around my waist and thighs, and they cushion my tush much better than other shorts. (Caveat: no shorts are comfortable on your tush after 50 miles.) I have several shorts in my closet, and I always reach for these first (so long as they're clean! :-)).

I've not tried the more expensive Pearl Izumis, but don't see the need to spend twice the cost of these when these function so well for me. I've tried plenty of cheaper store-brand shorts (e.g., Performance, Nashbar) and none has performed as well.

Great shorts
I have bought these in the past and tried several others including Performance, Velowear and others. I seem to always come back to Pearl Izumi.

Nice shorts at a moderate price
OK, you can pay more for shorts, but I don't know why you would. These shorts are comfortable, fit well, and last me two or three years of riding at about 4 - 5,000 miles a year. The price is moderate, but the quality is top notch. I just keep coming back to the Pearl Izumi brand for these reasons.
