Giordana Men's NX-G Air Jersey

The Giordana Men's NX-G Air Jersey is built around Giordana's NX-G platform, the brand's most refined line of race apparel, and it's tuned specifically for heat. Where the standard NX-G jersey balances aero and warmth, the Air version leans hard into ventilation, using open mesh side panels and underarm inserts to keep air moving across the body once the temperature climbs. It's a race-cut, second-skin fit intended to sit close to the body rather than move against it.

Giordana varies the fabric panel by panel rather than using one uniform textile. The hip panels run 100% polyester, the sleeves are 88% polyester/12% elastane, the underarm mesh is 91% polyester/9% elastane, and the back and chest panels use a 94% polyester/6% elastane blend with 2-way horizontal stretch to support the rear pockets under load. Giordana describes the fabric as double-faced, designed to pull sweat away from the skin and push it outward so it evaporates faster than a single-layer synthetic. The jersey also carries a UPF 30+ rating on the front and back panels, which matters on long exposed climbs where sun protection is as much a factor as ventilation.

Practical details carry over from the rest of the NX-G Air line: three rear cargo pockets with thermowelded seams for stashing food, a phone, or a rain shell, straight-cut sleeves for a cleaner aero line, and a smooth zipper with a gripper elastic waistband to keep the jersey from riding up. At 3 oz (84g) in a size medium, it's genuinely light, and Giordana makes it in Italy rather than outsourcing production. It's available in Ocean Blue, Sand, Black, Moon Rock Grey, and Sunset Orange, across a size range from XS to 4XL.

This is a jersey for riders who run warm or who log long miles in direct sun — a summer training jersey or hot-climate race-day piece rather than an all-conditions layer. Riders who prefer a more relaxed fit, or who ride mostly in cooler, overcast conditions, will get more use out of a jersey from a lower tier in Giordana's line.
