Pearl IzumiMen's 2015 Attack Short(Return to Product Page)

My first usage was on a very humid day and once I was wet, the chafing was everywhere and intense. Subsequently, I completed a half Ironman and reapplied chamois butter many times and had no issue. I prefer an 8 panel short and use pearl Izumi products often. The short is worth the purchase when on sale. It is if good quality.

Third pair I have purchased.

While I like the pad in my Campy tights more, the spandex in Pearl Izumi items is superior - slightly thicker and more durable. Can keep you warmer on cold days.

A very good mid-priced tight.

Modified 8 panel short (panels are of unequal size) with flat seam stitching fits nicely - I'm 5-10 and 155 and a medium fits perfectly, I prefer the Sugoi RC chamois but not enough to pay that much extra. This 'latest' version is better than the previous one, which has the new style cuff...

The shorts are high quality. The chamois is great,but I particularly like the gel bead grips that keep the lower seam from rolling up your leg as you ride

These shorts are nice quality and the padding is comfortable. They appear to be well made. The medium size first seemed a bit tight (I have a 33-34 inch waist) but upon break in I am glad I chose this size. The only reason I do not give 5 stars is that the pad is bulky and I notice a bit of sliding around on the saddle occasionally. I think this will subside after more use. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase.

My cycling activity consists of multi-day touring, either self contained or supported, and training for touring.

I discovered Attack shorts several years ago, and have found that they are the best shorts for my body type and riding style. I've tried more expensive shorts that didn't fit as well and cheaper shorts that were just plain uncomfortable. I plan to stick with Attacks as long as I'm riding and Pearl Izumi is making them.

I have a 32inch waist and I ordered a medium. The shorts through the thigh are snug and really compress the stomach area. I don't do a lot of riding but what I have found is that they don't provide the comfort I thought I would achieve by having the addtional padding in the seat. I believe my older pair were better in that respect and didn't have as much padding.

I bought these to replace some Attack Shorts that had seen many miles and were well worn. The pad is comfortable, not to bulky and for my rides they are my go to shorts. I do wish that Pearl Izumi would return the draw string and that the inseam was a bit longer. Overall these are a good shorts and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

These shorts fit is fine one purchase, next purchase same size is now small, next time large.

I love this these shorts they are very comfortable for long rides

For the price,they are well made,good padding and the Pearl Izumi name says it all

I have a 10 year old pair of PI shorts and have put 3000 mi on a new pair. This pair looks as if it will wear just as we'll so far.

I wear a 30 inch waist and bought this small shorts based on the size chart. I recommend that people buy one size larger to more comfortable.

I use this for a majority of my training rides. Fabric breathes well, leg does not ride up. Fabric and construction is durable. My only complaint may be a positive for others...the pad is a bit thick for me, I used to a more minimal pad. Overall a great short.

Durable and comfortable, with a nice chamois. I have a pair that are 9 years old and still in good shape.

I typically wear bib shorts, because last time I had PI shorts they came with waist drawstrings and were not comfortable. These new Attack shorts are a major improvement with an elastic waistband. Materials and pad not quite as fine as the Elite stuff, but workmanship and fit are identical to the more expensive grade gear.

Nice fit. Usual Pearl Izumi quality. Great for the price.

Very good overall. FIt is a little on the small side but is still comfortable for most rides. Padding is well proportioned and stays in place.

Got the shorts to wear on Ragbrai. Fit well and provide good comfortable ride. These shorts usually last for repeated use.

I've been riding the same pair for five years, (averaging 1,000 miles a year). They are the best shorts I've owned. Usually I go for the cheapest shorts 'cause I usually only have time for a one or two hour ride, but am glad I spent a few extra dollars on these. They still look good and are comfortable. Probably time for a new pair though. Very happy with these shorts.
