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

Replacing my old Pearls and other oldies tat fell apart at the seams (Nike)

Ride every day..10-30 miles provided it is not raining. Ride one 50 miler/month & one 100 miler/month.

Purchased Medium size for my 31 waist..Fits good with no chaffing & the thigh are holding in place.

These shorts run extremely small. I am a 36 inch waist and bought the L. They should have fit according to the sizing info and I have bought L in the past. It was almost hilarious but I was only able to get these shorts up to mid thigh. I'm not sure an XL will fit which would start giving me a complex. Gave these to a friend who has a 27 inch waist and they fit okay. At first I thought I got the womens but it is clearly marked mens. Made in China like all things today, maybe a China L is different?

Rode in these shorts for the first time yesterday, and they were very comfortable - better than more expensive shorts from other brands. My favorite shorts remain the Pearl Izumi P.R.O.s, but because of the expense I save those for longer rides (60m ). The PI Attack shorts fit my budget for daily training rides. If they are as durable as the P.R.O.s they will be a great value.

The 9-inch inseam was something I didn't pay attention to when ordering the shorts, and it's longer than I am used to wearing. It is not an issue, just different.

I ordered a size larger due to my hip size.
