EKG
Pearl Izumi’s EKG garments rely on a sophisticated, state-of-the-art knitting process that reduces the number of seams and increases vital moisture-transfer areas for greater comfort during activity. With EKG, solid fabrics transition seamlessly and smoothly to mesh, allowing for ergonomically specific areas for optimum cooling and stretch. With fewer seams, EKG garments offer dramatically reduced potential for chafing.
Flatlock Seams
Pearl Izumi baselayer tops feature flatlock seams that provide a superior fit, prevent chafing and eliminate the bulkiness of overlapping seams. The result is greater comfort and improved performance.
Ergonomic Collars
Anatomically shaped, higher in the back and lower in the front, for both form and function, Pearl Izumi collars feature fleece linings for added comfort and insulation.
Zipper garages that house the zipper pulls and prevent irritation to the neck and chin offer additional comfort.
Locking Zippers
Pearl Izumi zippered tops utilize zipper pulls that lock down flat and secure the slider. This ensures the zipper stays put, and will not come open during a run.
Stash Pockets
Pearl Izumi tops offer convenient and accessible stash pockets for securing essential items like keys and cash. Pearl Izumi stash pockets rely on easy-to-work zippers to ensure items remain secure during activity.
Reflective Details
For running in low-light conditions, Pearl Izumi tops offer strategically placed reflective logos and trim that enhance runner safety.
Locking Ankle Zippers
Plainly showing the Pearl Izumi logo, comfortable elastic leg grippers keep shorts and tights from riding up, providing a smooth profile and improved comfort and performance. Pearl Izumi ankle zippers open readily for easy on and off, even with the shoes on, and utilize zipper pulls that lock down flat and secure the slider. The zipper stays put, and will not come open during a run.
Plush Waist with Drawstring, Internal Key Pocket
Comfort at the waist is crucial to performance. Pearl Izumi tights, shorts and pants feature a soft, plush elastic waistband with a drawstring for the optimum combination of security and comfort during activity. The handy internal key pocket provides secure storage for keys and other small items.
Feminine Lines (Women’s clothing)
Pearl Izumi designs its women’s jerseys for the woman cyclist. They offer flattering ergonomic lines, specifically designed for the feminine form, and offer the ultimate in both performance and durability.
