What is the Women's Attack Collection?

Attack is PEARL iZUMi's performance mid-tier: versatile, durable pieces tuned for high-mileage training rather than pure racing. The women's line is the broadest in the range, covering jerseys from sleeveless to thermal long sleeve, shorts and bibs in short, capri, and 21 inch crop lengths, tights, four jacket weights, gloves, and road shoes. See the full range in Attack .

What is the difference between Attack, PRO, and Quest?

The tiers step up fit and fabric. Quest is the value-focused everyday line with a more forgiving cut and the SELECT Levitate™ chamois. Attack is the performance mid-tier with balanced compression and the ELITE Levitate™ chamois. PRO is the race tier, with the most advanced fabrics and the closest fit. All three share the same core construction quality.

Which chamois do Women's Attack shorts and bibs use?

The ELITE Levitate™ chamois, a dual-density pad built for high-mileage training. It sits between SELECT for everyday comfort and PRO for race and endurance days, and it is shaped specifically for women. Our Chamois Guide breaks down how the densities differ.

What is the difference between Attack and Attack Air?

Air is the lightest, most breathable construction in the Attack line, built for hot weather and hard efforts. Standard Attack pieces are the year-round option with a bit more substance. Both share the women's-specific fit and the same chamois platform on the bottoms, so you can mix them within one kit.

Should I choose Attack shorts, bib shorts, capris, or the 21 inch crop?

Length and upper are separate decisions. Bibs remove waistband pressure and keep the chamois centered on long rides, while shorts are simpler for quick changes. For length, standard shorts suit warm weather, capris and the 21 inch crop add coverage for cool mornings and give more leg support without going to full tights. The Shorts & Bibs Guide covers the trade-offs.

How should a Women's Attack jersey fit?

Close and smooth, with minimal flap at speed, but not the second-skin compression of a race jersey. Shoulders should lie flat, sleeves should stay put, and the rear hem should still cover the pockets when they are loaded. If you want more ease, the Quest line runs more relaxed. See the Jersey Guide for how the fits compare.

Which Attack jacket should I choose?

Match it to what you are protecting against. The Barrier jacket is the packable wind shell for chill and fast descents. The WxB is the waterproof option for sustained rain. The Hybrid blends wind protection with breathability, and the AmFIB® Lite adds insulation for cold. The Outerwear Guide walks through the decision.

Women's Attack Collection

The Women's Attack Collection brings style and performance together in harmony. Whether you're tackling steep climbs or casual rides, our versatile designs ensure maximum comfort and performance.

Race-bred intent, training-day reliability. The Women's Attack Collection is our performance mid-tier, built on a women's-specific fit and the ELITE Levitate™ chamois. It runs close for efficiency without going full race-skin, and it spans a genuinely complete kit: jerseys from sleeveless to thermal long sleeve, shorts and bibs including capris and a 21 inch crop, tights, four jacket weights, gloves, and road shoes.

Built Around the Women's Fit

Attack is cut for women rather than resized from a men's pattern: shaping through the shoulders, torso, and legs, and a women's-shaped chamois. The Air pieces are the lightest and most breathable in the line for hot days, and the 21 inch crop and bib capris give real length options that a standard short does not. Dial the fit with the Size & Fit Guide.
