PEARL iZUMi is excited to join the Dead community by launching their first collection on December 4th, 56 years after they played their first show as the Grateful Dead. They tapped their resident Dead Head to create an understated tie-dye celebration that blends in with the rest of your gear closet, so you can display Dead pride on every ride.

The featured print is an understated tie-dye that fits in easily with the gear already in your closet but let’s you display your Dead pride on each ride. We review some of our favorites from the collection below:

About PEARL iZUMi

More than 50 years ago in Tokyo, a father produced Japan’s first bicycle racing apparel for his son, a promising racer. Today, Pearl Izumi USA, Inc. has evolved into the world’s foremost line of technical-performing and quality manufactured sports apparel. The line enjoys an almost cult-type following. The name Pearl Izumi USA, Inc. is derived from the gem “pearl” and an area of Japan known for its clear water “Izumi.” Literally translated, their name means, “fountain of pearls.”
