It'll be interestting to see what kind of products maybe offered in the future then.
Although Pearl Izumi are staying with their own name I do wonder if they will co develop any products.

I've got a lot of PI kit, not sure why, it happened to be cheap at the right time and looked good, I find the cuts and designs a bit odd but I can't say I don't like it all

I've got bits of Shimano kit (most notably shoes), bits of Pro kit (a subsiduary of Shimano) and the odd bit of PI. It's all good stuff so I can only presume the marrying of the two companies will keep standards high if nothing else.
