Pearl Izumi

Some wind- and water- resistant jackets make you feel just like you’ve plunged the rest of your body into some stiff cardboard box, hence limiting the freedom of your movement, and your comfort and ease. As a solution to this glitch that so plagued other biker’s jackets, Pearl Izumi added a stretch side and sleeve panels to their women’s Optik jacket. This feature guarantees you reliable weather protection instantly the moment it’s out of its box.




Pearl Izumi Barrier Elite Thermal jacket- For On-the-Go Heat

Japan certainly trumps most other competitors when it comes to delivering the goods. Services and high- end equipment and machinery almost everyone in the globe needs. The Japanese are seriously good at most of everything they do, you'd be left to wonder where they are actually bad at.

The Japanese brand Pearl Izumi (which is to mean Fountain of Pearls in their native tongue) is one of the most respected brands when it comes to the field of outdoor equipment and adventure apparel and accessories. The company has been long known to release products that boast of high- end quality and great functionality for the price.

The company's thrust when it comes to tinkering with fabric technologies and other innovative moves is rather far- reaching and extensive. With this, Pearl Izumi introduces the new Pearl Izumi Barrier Elite Thermal jacket- which aims to provide comfortable temperatures for the wearer's body in extreme weather conditions, and at the same time, provide style to those who look for it in a jacket. Is the product worth a second look? Read on to find out more.

Key features

* ELITE Thermal Fleece interior
* ELITE Barrier outer shell for a 2-layer construction
* Full length internal draft flap with zipper garage
* Two back zippered pockets
* Reflective elements for low-light visibility

Upon opening the box, the Pearl Izumi Barrier Elite Thermal Jacket quickly creates the impression of being lightweight and compact. Indeed, your thoughts will be confirmed a few moments later once you will get to hold your jacket, and offers you a good chance of surprise when you find out that it is made of tough materials.

The jacket's main feature comes with its elite thermal fleece interior- a layer of temperature- sensitive material that will react accordingly to the existing weather conditions. The elite make up of the jacket's outer shell compliments the garment's interior, and improves the jacket's job drastically.

The jacket's reflective piping and detail design enable its users to see more while venturing out in the darkness, as well as allow other motorists to see its wearer while driving out in the dark.

A full- length internal draft flap ensures the user that the jacket is resistant to the effects of harsh weather conditions to some degree, and comes with a zipper garage to safely tuck in the material when it is not in use.
