Compared to loosely fitting shells which flap in the wind during higher speed descends, the AmFIB was comfortable and silent. Side Viewĭespite the sizing confusion, the Medium sized AmFIB shell fit very well without being restrictive even during out of saddle positions or while riding the drops. We’d recommend trying it or a similar PEARL iZUMi shell in-person for sizing before buying. Additionally, this shell is “form fitting” which means it is designed to fit the body snugly and stretch around your features. Based on the measurements of a 160lbs and 6’ 1” male, the chart recommended a size “Small” while a quick test fit at a local bike shop indicated a Medium size was a better fit.

We tested a medium sized men’s PRO AmFIB shell and found the sizing to not quite match the PEARL iZUMi website sizing chart. This jacket is available in Small to XXL. Grippy strip on the inside of the backside SIZING However, the shell is also available in teal and black for a more subtle look. This is one of our favorite shell colors to-date as it’s great for visibility and a welcome change from the typical all black gear many cyclists wear. The atomic red color looks more red on the PEARL iZUMi website, while in-person it looks more like a neon red or deep coral color. Backside with 3 pockets and Split Yoke on the Shoulder Otherwise, the shell is a solid color with only the seams and functional details to break it up. In terms of logo, the PEARL iZUMi text logo can be found embossed on the chest of the shell as well as the reflective strip under the rear center pocket. One of our favorite things about the PRO AmFIB shell is the clean and simple design. Rather than plastering it with graphics and logo to make it look sporty, PEARL iZUMi has gone with a more subtle and timeless design. It was nice to see the environmentally conscious packaging as this jacket came in a 100% recycled plastic bag which in turn was in a generic brown shipping box.
The PEARL iZUMi PRO AmFIB Shell is an extremely comfortable and versatile shell for shoulder season riding. In particular, we were very impressed with the breathability and fit of the jacket especially compared to lower quality windbreakers. These features combine to make the AmFIB shell a very stretchable and comfortable shell in both cold and warmer climates. PEARL iZUMi incorporated a number of thoughtful details in the construction of the PRO AmFIB shell a couple of which are: a high neck, bonded seams, reflective elements on front/rear, three pockets (with the center pocket zippered) and a dual front zipper. The PRO AmFIB shell features an alphabet soup of PEARL iZUMi features (PI Dry water shedding technology, BioViz reflective elements and Vislon Aquaguard zipper). PEARL iZUMi also offers a Women’s version of the same jacket. In this review, we’ll look at the Men’s Medium size shell in Atomic Red.

Literally translated, Pearl Izumi means, "fountain of pearls," an appropriate name for a company that fountain-like, continually produces clothing gems. The second word "Izumi," is taken from an area of Japan known for its clear water. As you'd expect, it comes from "pearl," the gem. The first part of the name Pearl Izumi is easy.
