PEARL IZUMI

FOR 40 YEARS PEARL IZUMI HAS SET THE BENCHMARK FOR COMFORT IN THE SADDLE. 

A chamois, pronounced SHAM-MEE, is a padded insert sewn into cycling shorts or bibs, enhancing comfort and reducing friction between the cyclist and the saddle. It absorbs vibrations and shocks from the road or trail, protects sensitive areas from pressure points, and prevents chafing during long rides.

In 1983, PEARL iZUMi pioneered the first synthetic chamois, revolutionizing cycling apparel. We’re committed to ongoing innovation in chamois technology, ensuring top-notch performance for riders at all price points, because everyone deserves comfortable rides.
