Pearl Izumi Size Guide
Pearl Izumi is now based in North America but, whilst it offers a variety of cuts from relatively relaxed to race fit, they generally tend to come up on the small side.
When you're choosing your size, it's worth knowing their sizing for tops and bottoms reflects more of their Japanese heritage than their more recent US culture.
However, follow the size guide below accurately and you shouldn't go far wrong; if you prefer cycling kit to feel more relaxed you should err towards the larger of two sizes. If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.
