MEASURE ONCE, RIDE COMFORTABLE.

Every PEARL iZUMi chart is built on body measurements, not garment measurements, so you can find your size before you buy.

Measure your chest or bust around the fullest part, your waist at the narrowest point where your body bends side to side, and your hips around the fullest part. Keep the tape horizontal for all three. Inseam on a product page refers to the garment length from crotch seam to hem, not a body measurement.

How Each Fit Sits

Fit type is listed on every product page. It changes how a garment sits on you, not what size you are. Our fits run from Compressive at the closest through to Relaxed at the roomiest.

Size & Fit FAQs

Does PEARL iZUMi sizing run true to size?

Our size charts are based on body measurements rather than garment measurements, so measure yourself and compare against the chart rather than ordering the size you normally wear. How close the garment sits to your body depends on its fit type, race, semi-form or relaxed, which is listed on every product page.

What if I am between two sizes?

Order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your hip and waist measurements point to two different sizes, go with the size indicated by your hips.

What sizes does PEARL iZUMi offer?

Men's and women's apparel both run XS through XXXL. Gloves run XS through XXL in men's and XS through L in women's. Arm and leg sleeves run XS through XXL. Cycling shoes run EU 36 through 52. Sizes available vary by product.

What does inseam mean on a product page?

Inseam refers to the length of the garment from the crotch seam to the hem, not a body measurement. Our shorts range from a 9-inch inseam on Quest up to 10.5 inches on PRO, Expedition and PI/Red.

How do I size unisex gloves?

Use the men's sizing column to determine your best fit. Glove sizing is measured by palm girth, taken around the fullest part of your palm with the tape horizontal.

Should I size differently for different disciplines?

No. Your body measurement gives you the same size across the range. What changes is fit type: road kit tends to be race or semi-form cut, and mountain bike kit tends to be relaxed. Compare the fit type on the product page rather than changing size.

What if the size I order does not fit?

The 30-Day Fit Guarantee covers a refund within 30 days of purchase on pearlizumi.com, whether or not you have worn the item. FINAL SALE items are excluded. Email info@pearlizumi.com to start it. You can also exchange a new, unused item with tags attached for a different size within 30 days of the fulfillment date.
