Pearl Izumi has updated its Road collection for 2019, adding some swagger to the range with new styles, colors and designs.
“With a refocus on simple sophistication and sleek design, the new 2019 Road collection is like nothing Pearl Izumi has ever created”, says Pearl Izumi.
“Our mantra for this season was simplify to amplify,” said Michael Thompson, Global Category Manager. “We challenged ourselves to remove panels, streamline materials and make it easy for riders to create great looking outfits. You’ll see an increased emphasis on sleek details too, including laser cut hems and bib straps, that look and feel great on the rider.”
“You’ll notice a few main design themes for this season. First, we focused on sophisticated solids that could be easily mixed and matched across the line, and we added navy bottoms that allow riders to update their wardrobe with a fresh new basic option. And for a little more seasonal interest, we created several new prints that add a human element to complement the technical silhouettes”, adds Lynn Bush, Design Manager for Pearl Izumi.
Developed by Pearl Izumi’s in-house design team, the new Road collection features an array of new hand drawn prints for a “perfectly imperfect” look. New patterns include Wish, Kimono, Stripe and Paisley, wherein a combination of classic colors and new patterns creates a refined aesthetic for the 2019 season.
The collection includes Pearl Izumi’s new PRO Bib Short and PRO Short, which are crafted with Italian PRO Transfer fabric and paired with a supportive and breathable PRO Escape 1:1 Chamois for optimal comfort. Moreover, seven carefully engineered panels minimize seaming to create a perfect contour with the body.
New jerseys include the women’s PRO Mesh Jersey, which combines the brand’s class-leading aerodynamic design with highly breathable mesh, for the ultimate high-performance summer jersey. A longer to-the-elbow sleeve, made from exclusive PRO Transfer Aero fabric and our patented Speed Sleeve construction, smooths airflow around the bicep and over the shoulder to reduce aerodynamic drag and creates a sophisticated silhouette on the bike.
“The new 2019 road collection is a big step forward for us as a company”, said Andrew Hammond, Brand Manager at Pearl Izumi. “The team built upon our quality and fit strengths that make Pearl Izumi products perform so well, and brought fresh design and improved details that will make riders feel great.”
