Pearl Izumi

There is no doubt in my mind that Pearl Izumi has got the market when it comes to cute and functional cycling gear. I came to the outlets specifically to check out this store and buy some cycling shoes, and left with a new pair as well as a jersey. Score!
The guys working here were helpful and willing to explain stuff since I am somewhat clueless. Their time was appreciated. Compared to other outlet stores, I think the selection wasn’t huge but decent enough, with cycling apparel in lots of colors and styles.
I paid $ 150 before tax for a good pair of cycling shoes. When I returned home and checked Amazon, the same shoes and size were $ 102 with free shipping on prime. Likewise, the jersey was also cheaper online. I can only blame myself for not doing the proper research. But it was still disappointing since I had made the trek specifically to get shoes.
To make a long story short, the store is sending me a shipping label so I can mail back the shoes. The manager explained that new products sell for retail price at the store. Hence, you’re not going to see outlet prices here on new items (or most items for that matter). I would be totally fine paying retail — as I was when I bought the shoes initially — but when there are significantly cheaper prices online for the same product, you can’t justify paying almost $ 50 more. They do have deals in the store, but mostly random closeout items.
I will probably return next time I’m in the area since I like the products and the service was good. I will just make sure to check online first before buying anything.

Huge props to Cristian @ the P.I. store for his help with our family shopping! Very knowledgeable about Pearl’s gear and took time to chat with the kids about racing also. Glad there was a P.I. outlet store in Orlando while we were there on vacation. Love their gear too… Great colors that we don’t get out west.

This is a nice store that sells bike wear. The quality of the products is top notch.

If you are looking for a great deal on cycling gear this is a MUST. Every trip I’m able to get a deal. This last trip I got a $ 225 bib for only $ 126. Just awesome value.
They also have new items with the outlet items.

I always visit the store when I am in Orlando. Great store with many items for runners and cyclists.
