Pearl Izumi Triathlon and Cycling Apparel

Pearl Izumi has been engineering performance cycling apparel since 1950, and the evidence is in the details — synthetic chamois that changed the standard for comfort, Lobster Gloves built for cold-weather grip, and fabrics refined through wind tunnel testing to move with you rather than against you. The RA Cycles Pearl Izumi collection spans bib shorts, shorts, jerseys, gloves, shoe covers, and cycling shoes designed for road, mountain bike, and triathlon — a full kit selection from a brand that treats comfort as an engineering problem.

Driven by the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen — continuous improvement — Pearl Izumi applies the same relentless refinement to an entry-level bib short as to a competition-level tri kit. Seventy-five years of iteration shows in how the pieces fit and perform across the hours.

About Pearl Izumi

Pearl Izumi was founded in Japan in 1950 by Kinji Shimizu, who crafted the brand's first cycling jersey guided by the philosophy of Kaizen — the pursuit of continuous, daily improvement. The brand's development reads like a checklist of industry firsts: synthetic chamois in 1983 that replaced leather with bio-suede, the Lobster Glove in 1993 that solved the cold-weather grip problem, and in 2017 the first use of a climatic wind tunnel for cycling apparel comfort testing — a level of investment that distinguishes Pearl Izumi from fashion-forward alternatives.

RA Cycles stocks the Pearl Izumi lineup across cycling and triathlon categories — Expedition and Attack bib shorts and shorts, the Summit Amfib Pant for all-weather mountain bike riding, Pro and Elite gloves for road and cold conditions, shoe covers for wet weather, and the Tri Fly Pro for triathlon. The collection spans men's and women's apparel in sizes XS through XL, with 70 products in total.
