Summary:
The new pad is terrible I too want the old PRT pad.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Pearl Izumi use to be the only short I would wear, but they switched to the crappiest pad I've had the displeasure of using the PRT torture device. What a shame that they changed a nearly perfect product into this travesty. Gauranteed, that on long rides the edges of the PRT pad and/or the stiching is going to rub your cheeks raw. I guess their marketing people didn't learn anything from the "New Coke" debacle.

Strengths:
Fit, style and lycra material is top rate.
Legendary durability.

Weaknesses:
PRT pad is a disaster for booty comfort. I'll have to scour the bike shops for the older style Pearl Izumi shorts, or find another brand.

Summary:
I once heard a long time bike shop owner state that pearl izumi bike shorts were the best ever.I bought pair and did not think they were a big deal.Comparing them to my old giordanas the fit was less than glovelike and my butt got sore after a couple of hours of riding

Strengths:
You can machine wash them to death.

Weaknesses:
Padding is questionable unless you have alot of fat on your butt.
