If you haven’t purchased a pair of mountain bike shorts in the last few years, you might not realize that today’s mountain bike shorts are full of holes. Laser-cut holes, to be precise, and they’re designed to provide just the right amount of ventilation when you’re flying down the trail on your mountain bike this summer.
Pearl Izumi has a couple different pairs of men’s mountain bike shorts with laser-cut holes in them that are on sale right now for as low as $36.75. The holes make an appearance on at least one Pearl Izumi jersey too; the Summit short sleeve is currently just $24. Holey moley!
Pearl Izumi Summit PRO Shell Shorts
The Pearl Izumi Summit PRO shorts are a premium choice made with lightweight and durable, recycled nylon material. In addition to the laser-cut ventilation holes, there’s a water-resistant coating and an easy-to-use adjustable waist closure.
The women’s Summit Pro shorts are on sale too, but sorry ladies, they’re still priced over $100.

Pearl Izumi Summit Shell Shorts
The non-pro Summit shorts are made from polyester which promises a slightly softer feel at an even lower price. The Pearl Izumi Summit Shell shorts are an inch shorter than the pro version too, but you’ll still get those easy-breezy vent holes and understated style that the brand is known for.
Four colors are available, but hurry because sizes are limited!
