About Pearl Izumi

From its humble beginnings as a garment manufacturer in post-war Japan to today’s successful foray into Cycling and Run footwear, Pearl Izumi’s ongoing commitment to excellence in design and manufacturing remains the driving force of the company. For over 50 years, Pearl Izumi has developed exclusive high performance fabrics such as the Ultrasensor™ and innovative chamois such as the 3D Chamois™. In 2007, Pearl Izumi adopted eco friendly technical fabrics by the introduction of the Traptek’s Cocona™. With its innovative BOA Lacing System™ and its award winning SyncroFrame™ guidance system, the company proved they also offer performance bike and run shoes for the most demanding athletes.
