Pearl Izumi: 60 years ago in Tokyo, a father produced Japan's first bicycle racing apparel for his son, a promising racer. Today, Pearl Izumi USA, Inc. has evolved into the world's foremost line of technical- performing and quality manufactured sports apparel. Pearl Izumi's performance engineered fabric system combines over 60 years of engineering, testing, experience and continuous refinement. Their fabrics are designed to meet the real world demands of four season cyclists and runners. Their four basic fabric systems; Transfer, Thermal, Barrier and Softshell are all designed to keep you dry and comfortable no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. Pearl Izumi also tailors each product to enhance the individual connection between athlete and gear. Continuously perfecting the interconnected system of the athletic body to performance equipment is their goal. The Pearl Izumi system is that there is no “almost” in creating products that enhance athletic performance. The fit goes beyond the cut of the gear or construction of a shoe. Performance apparel that is anatomically designed, tailored and constructed for the ways you move become a part of you which makes them much more comfortable and perform better. The perfection of each and every detail is Pearl Izumi's unwavering passion.
