Giordana Women's FR-C Pro Jersey

The Giordana Women's FR-C Pro Jersey is a race-ready short sleeve jersey built to fit like a second skin without feeling restrictive. Giordana cuts it using its Body Clone technology, a fit system the brand has refined over decades to track natural movement in the riding position rather than fighting it, which makes this a jersey suited to long days in the saddle as much as actual racing. It's built for spring and summer conditions, close enough through the body to disappear at speed while still allowing full range of motion through the shoulders and back.

The fabric does most of the temperature-management work. A moisture-wicking microfiber with a double-sided diamond pattern covers the body, pulling sweat away from the skin and helping it evaporate faster during hard efforts. The back panel switches to a carbon-threaded fabric, which does double duty: it manages heat where your back runs hottest, and it stiffens the fabric enough to keep three loaded rear pockets from sagging on longer rides. Giordana also builds in UPF 15 sun protection, a detail that matters more on this jersey than most given how much skin a short sleeve, second-skin cut exposes to direct sun.

The construction details are where the jersey earns its price. Set-in sleeves finish with seamless, laser-cut cuffs instead of a folded hem, which avoids the pressure line a stitched cuff can leave on bare arms. A thermal-welded front waistband and a rear gripper elastic keep the jersey anchored in the riding position without a full silicone gripper band. Beyond the three standard rear cargo pockets, a hidden-zip side pocket gives you a secure spot for a key or card that isn't just riding loose in a mesh pocket. The collar is low-profile and the zipper minimalist, keeping the front clean rather than adding bulk at the neck. Materials shift by panel — 88% polyester/12% elastane at the front and shoulders, 94%/6% on the back, 78%/22% in the stretchier rear pockets — and the whole jersey weighs just 4.4 ounces in a size medium. Made in Italy, it's available in Black, Bijou Blue, Sea Moss Green, Blanc White, Savvy Red, Smoke, Sienna Orange, and Silvery Sage, in sizes XXS through 3XL.
