Shoes, bibs, jerseys, gloves, and much more cycling gear are discounted.

If you’re looking for new cycling garb to help transition from summer to fall, check out Pearl Izumi. The brand is kicking off its major Labor Day sale today, August 25, offering 25 percent off its entire selection through September 5. That includes newer items, bestselling pieces from its Attack apparel lineup, and even some of its pro-level shoes. It doesn’t matter if you ride gravel or prefer pavement. You’re bound to find something on sale for you.

We recommend grabbing some baselayers—more specifically, those made of wool—as the cooler weather approaches. The stuff is naturally microbial and stink-proof, plus it helps regulate body temperature through moisture-wicking properties, keeping you cool when it’s hot out and vice versa. Pearl Izumi has plenty of sleeveless and long-sleeve baselayers for cold-proofing your next ride.

Assistant Reviews Editor Adam Schram, meanwhile, recommends grabbing a pair of cycling bibs. “I’ve been wearing Pearl Izumi’s bibs for as long as I’ve been riding bikes, and I’ve struggled to find other shorts that have fabric as comfortable and padding as durable,” he says. “My college team used their kit for several years, and I still hang onto those bibs because they still haven’t worn out five years later.”

A word of caution though: Just because the sale lasts through September 5 doesn’t mean stock will, too. Click through below to peruse the entire selection or scroll down to read our recommendations for specific pieces of apparel.

These gloves are compressive enough to keep from feeling bulky on your hands while still offering gel padding for a comfortable grip on the handlebar. The nylon-polyester-spandex blend has the durability of leather but can survive a spin cycle in the wash.
