PEARL iZUMi’s PRO level of apparel are the brands top-tier lineup and feature high-performance fabrics and form-fitting cuts. In this review we’ll be looking at the warm-weather men’s PRO kit with their new Navy/Wild Orchid Jasper color scheme. We specifically have three items for this review: PRO Mesh Jersey, PRO Bib Short and the PRO Barrier jacket. The PRO Mesh` Jersey retails for $150 and is one of their most technical jerseys with a variety of technology such as PRO Transfer Mesh Fabric and recycled polyester construction. With matching color schemes, the $225 PRO Bib Shorts feature the latest Levitate PRO Chamois and PRO Transfer Fabric for all-day comfort on the bike. Finally, the PRO Barrier Jacket retails for $150 and features PEARL iZUMi’s PI Dry technology to create a lightweight, packable and water-resistant jacket. Designed for high-intensity warm weather riding, the PRO Mesh Jersey is a lightweight and form fitting jersey. The jersey uses PEARL iZUMi’s high-stretch PRO Transfer Mesh fabric along with the In-R-Cool treatment to improve thermal regulation and breathability. PEARL iZUMi currently offers the jacket in four color schemes: Urban Sage (charcoal color), a limited edition Camp Green Contour, the new Horizontal / Alpen glow and the bright Navy / Wild Orchid Jasper we have in this review. We would describe the graphic scheme as a combination of a wildflower print and digital camo. Whether you like the design or not, it’s a high-visibility pattern that stands out from the ubiquitous solid color cycling kits. Aside from a PEARL iZUMi logo on the rear pocket there is almost no external branding on it which gives it a sleek look. The jersey is constructed from 64% recycled polyester and is a blend of polyester and elastane for additional stretch. As you can see in the fabric closeup, the PRO Transfer mesh fabric has a waffle-like appearance that’s light and highly breathable. The jersey has a full length single front zipper with premium details such as pattern matching which ensures the left and right side of the jersey have matching graphic patterns. With a focus on warm weather riding, the PRO Mesh Jersey has a low-profile collar with short sleeves that’s designed to contour around your body. On the rear of the jersey you’ll find three standard reinforced pockets along with a fourth zippered pocket on the right side. This leaves plenty of room for snacks, gear and small valuables like keys or credit cards. An extended drop tail rear with silicone grippers holds the jersey in place even in aggressive aero positions... ...
