The Attack Short nameplate from Pearl Izumi has always stood for the best combination of performance and value in the line. In bringing technologies and design features down from the PRO line, The form-fitting cut favors semi-aggressive to more upright cycling postures, and has a new improved feel and functionality thanks to an evolved fabric, fewer panels (along with seams), and an improvement in overall comfort.

The SELECT Transfer fabric has been updated with a finer, softer, recycled Nylon and improved more consistent stretch. The stretch is what allows the designers to reduce the panels and seam while improving fit, reducing bulk, and mild compression. The inseam is now at 10.5", and the folded, stitched cuff lies flat and features a new silicone gripper that is effective while being thinner and much less noticeable.

For the chamois pad, Pearl is now using a more elastic (read: conforming and flexible) Italian made SELECT Escape 1:1® pad for less bulk, great fit, optimal moisture transfer and overall breathability. As always the construction and fine details are excellent, and BioViz® reflective elements ensure some low-light visibility.
