Giordana Women's NX-G Air Jersey

Giordana Women's NX-G Air Jersey is built around a next-generation Microloft yarn that Giordana engineered specifically to move moisture faster than the fabric it replaced. Woven front and back, the yarn pulls sweat away from the skin and pushes it to the surface for quick evaporation, all while keeping a noticeably soft hand feel against the body. Giordana calls it one of the lightest jerseys in its lineup, which matters most in the final hour of a hot group ride when extra fabric starts to feel like extra weight on the shoulders.

The race-fit cut comes with aero paneling positioned to work with the body's shape in a riding position rather than against it, and a slightly longer sleeve length than earlier NX-G versions. Set-in sleeves with seamless, straight-cut cuffs avoid the pinch points that cheaper jerseys create at the shoulder and upper arm, and the gripper elastic waistband keeps the hem in place over hours in the saddle rather than riding up on climbs or out-of-the-saddle efforts. Giordana backs the fabric with a 30+ UPF rating across the front, back, and sleeves, real sun protection for riders logging long miles in direct light rather than a marketing footnote tacked onto the spec sheet.

Practical details round out the jersey without adding bulk. Three rear cargo pockets with thermowelded seams hold gels, a phone, or a light layer without the stitching fraying over a season of washes, and the updated zipper construction runs smoother than the version it replaces. Every NX-G Air jersey is made in Italy, continuing Giordana's practice of manufacturing its performance line domestically on a jersey built for racing and long-distance fit precision. It's available across a full size range from XS to 3XL, and in five colorways including Ocean Blue, Sand, Black, Moon Rock Grey, and Sunset Orange.

This jersey is built for riders who put in real volume, whether that's a summer of century rides, club racing, or long days where temperature regulation matters more than a relaxed cut. It trades a casual fit for a second-skin feel that rewards riders already comfortable in race-cut kit, and the fabric's moisture management shows up most on the hottest, longest days rather than a quick spin around the block. For a women's cycling jersey built to disappear once you're moving, the NX-G Air earns its place as one of Giordana's most technical short sleeve options.
