Pearl IzumiMen's Interval Short(Return to Product Page)

I have always worn the P.I. Pro short with the red chamois- it is an excellent product. I bought these Interval shorts for indoor use because it has been raining almost non-stop for 3 months in California, and I needed some for 45 minute Zwift rides. The pair that arrived had a leg gripper thar NEVER should have passed Q.C. I paid my lovely tailor-lady $10 to take them in a full inch on each leg so that they would stay-put in a proper manner. I realize i should have returned them to BTD, because they are awesome with returns. The orange padding is NOT as nice as the red that Pearl Izumi uses. I honestly hope you enjoy these more than me.

These shorts get mixed reviews, but for me, these shorts are perfect! These shorts have a non-contoured chamois which I prefer. Fit is good, I like the wide leg grippers. And most importantly, they make my bikes more comfortable. I can't really comment on durability because I've had one pair of these shorts for a couple of months and about a dozen rides, and I just bought two more, but so far there are no issues with durability from wear nor from the washing machine.

Pearl iZumi cycling shorts are always top quality and long lasting. And they fit perfectly.

I've had numerous pairs of the "mid-grade" Pearl Izumi shorts and bibs. I've always liked the orang elite chamois the best. The last 2-3 years I've bought these, however, the fit has changed. I'm short-legged and in the past the shorter inseam fit me well. Now, the inseam is longer and the waist is higher. The chamois seems to be the same, but I don't like the cut of the shorts like I used to.

Got a great deal on these on sale and they're very comfortable!

The weight of the material is what you should expect from an intermediately priced short. That said, the quality is high as one should expect from anything made by Pearl Izumi. The pad is great. These shorts do not offer the same high compression you get from their top of the line short made with heavier material. I bought my three pair for indoor training and for that application for me they are terrific.

High quality, long wear, excellent compression, prefer mens short for myself (female) because like longer leg length. Always order year after year.

I have been buying this line of Pearl Izumi mi- priced shorts for probably 15 years, many purchases. Always been happy with them. These are not the same shorts. The material does not feel as strong but the biggest issue is that the vaunted leg grips are not tapered properly and the ends of the shorts are loose on your legs. Who buys these shorts wanting them flapping in the wind while you ride? Others have complained of the same problem, shame on me for not believing their reviews. Very disappointing product from a long time fan. Sent them back.

Great fit and great comfort!!! Tried other brands but never had chamois fit as well as interval.

road or mountain biking the fit, the pad everything is just right. worth the extra money, fits better than the pro shorts which they made much more form fitting

I've only had these shorts in the winter, so have worn them underneath leggings. They offer really good support and comfort

I have been wearing Pearl Izumi shorts for about 30 years. I have tried some other brands and I have always come back to Pearl Izumi. I ride about 150 miles every week.

At one time Pearl Izumi made pants called Pros R Cool. They were great. They stopped making them. I have not yet found pants that live up to the quality of Pros R Cool. Pearl Izumi if you are reading this please start making them again. I did buy a pair of Interval Short, I sent them back.

My rides are usually in the 30-50 mile range, with longer rides mixed-in. Seemingly unlike the rest of the cycling community, I do not prefer bib shorts for longer rides. My main complaint is the inconvenience of satisfying any calls of nature. For that reason, I have been searching for decent shorts.

These Interval Shorts are now my favorites.

To always have clean shorts ready for riding, I have filled my drawer with budget-minded $50-$80 shorts. When I saw these nicer shorts on-sale with BTD, I decided to splurge. What a treat. I like the longer legs (I'm only 5'8 but some shorts with Italian fit are just uncomfortably short for my taste). The material, and structure of the panels, provide the comfort and performance I am seeking. Combined with the excellent padding, these shorts are now my favs.

This short with the orange chamois is the most comfortable I've owned. Inly chamois that isn'r noticeable while riding. I highly recommend.

They're okay, but for the price get the pros! They are more comfortable by experience, from the fit to the material used

Shorts help feel very comfortable and secure

Great fit, comfortable pad, great buy for the cost

Only worn once so far for a 35 mile road ride. Looking forward to putting these shorts through the paces with longer rides this summer.

I bought these for some indoor Zwift riding. The pad is large, thick, and provides excellent comfort while riding. However, the feature I like best is the elastic around the legs. Even though these shorts were at the upper end of my price range, I could not be more pleased with my purchase.
