More than 50 years ago in Tokyo, a father produced Japan's first bicycle racing apparel for his son, a promising racer. Today, Pearl Izumi has evolved into a line of technical- performing and quality manufactured sportswear. The name Pearl Izumi is derived from the gem "pearl" and an area of Japan known for its clear water "Izumi." Literally translated, our name means, "fountain of pearls." Here at Be Outdoors we have selected choice items of Pearl Izumi running and cycling kit including the Pearl Izumi Symphony Short and perfect for the summer theAurora shaped tank.
