PEARL IZUMI is Japan's oldest cycling apparel brand with the highest market share, and was wholly acquired by Shimano in 2008.
 
As the official sponsor of the Chinese track cycling national team, PEARL IZUMI has witnessed the breakthrough of China's gold medal in cycling.
 
Among the many cycling apparel brands, PEARL IZUMI cycling jerseys are cut to fit the Asian body type, and its cycling jerseys can provide differentiated protection for core muscle groups based on body shape differences. Compared with Castelli and Rapha, it is obviously more appropriate to define PEARL IZUMI as a regional brand, and the price of a set of professional PEARL IZUMI cycling jerseys is also not low, at least more than 1,000 yuan.
 
In terms of workmanship, PEARL IZUMI inherits the Japanese brand's consistent craftsmanship and uses a more complex four-needle and six-thread process, which is significantly different from the common three-needle and five-thread sewing process on the market. The four-needle and six-thread process can make the seam stronger, the stitch is beautiful and dynamic, and it can also effectively reduce the friction between the seam and the skin, and improve the wearing comfort.
 
PEARL IZUMI's product line is rich and comprehensive, and in addition to producing adult cycling clothing, it has also developed its own children's cycling clothing, which is rare in the industry. According to the level of expertise, PEARL IZUMI's jerseys are divided into three grades: Premium Grade, Race Grade, and Basic Grade.
 
The top-of-the-line Premium Grade uses the "3D Scan System", which combines an ergonomic design to bring the whole garment closer to the body, and the new 3D Neoplus uses the cycling pads, which can reduce the pain of sitting for a long time, effectively extend the riding time, and have excellent breathability, and good wearing comfort in the hot summer months.
 
The top-of-the-line jersey 500-B is made of all-polyester fabric, which has good stretch performance and obvious close-fitting effect, and thanks to the sunscreen effect of the UPF50 fabric, the ultraviolet rays of the jersey 500-B in the sunlight are negligible. The mesh material used in the underneath the sleeves, pockets, and armpits of the jersey improves the breathability of the whole garment, and is very suitable for wearing during summer riding, but the price of about 1,000 yuan is not affordable for everyone.
