Pearl Izumi Impact Short

Now this is the Pearl Izumi Active Junky’s been expecting. Any time a chamois or liner-equipped piece shows up, testers get intrigued. From extensive road cycling product testing both of men’s and women’s styles, Pearl Izumi ranks among the strongest in high-mileage cushioned support. Impact didn’t disappoint and dropped in a detachable version with 3D Tour Chamois to protect across washboard runouts, streambed rumbles and sharp-edged ridgeline traverses. A 15” inseam and more casual styling matched the soft hand of the Transfer Dry fabric. A total package with dual zippered vent pockets and zip fly, Impact is no-brainer buy for aspiring and avid riders.
