Giordana FRC Short Sleeve Jersey

Giordana FRC Short Sleeve Jersey Info

With the perfect mix of comfort and performance, the Giordana FR-C Short Sleeve Jersey will seldom leave your summer wardrobe rotation. Using all the technology lavished on the men’s version, this lady’s cut will impress you with how well it conforms to your shape.

The FR-C stands for FormaRed-Carbon, and represents the elite level from the Giordana collection. Once you touch the material, you’ll understand that claim. The fabrics used have been chosen specifically to work as a second skin, which is why Giordana calls this their BodyClone technology. Don’t get your hopes up that this will be a body double that you can sit in your office chair while you’re out on a ride, but it does mean that your jersey will fit more as an extension of your own torso, working with every movement and keeping you as well ventilated as if you were in the ever lovin’ nude. But you won’t have to worry about getting the corresponding sunburn since the material has been developed to block harmful UV rays.

Wear the jersey on its own for those super-hot days, or start layering in some Giordana bases to keep it working for you well into the autumn. Since this is a women-specific jersey, Giordana has designed it using their Women's Contour Fit system. The paneling will suit a woman’s form while in the riding position, and the construction will accommodate things like a lady’s narrower shoulders. Giordana’s I-Panel has been developed to contour around your shoulders and down the middle of the back in order to support the two pockets while keeping them fitted close to the body. The pockets come with a pocket lip that will help them retain their shape and not sag no matter how much kit you carry, and also prevents items from escaping. The breathability of the main panels is augmented by the satin-like mesh underneath the arms, which moves the perspiration away from your skin and to the outer portions of the fabric where it can quickly evaporate. That same mesh is used on the collar and the pockets for the identical reason. The collar has an intentionally ergonomic cut with a sculpted relief at the back of the neck to give you the perfect fit when in the riding position. And then the material used on the front of the collar has a low profile to keep it aero, and is soft to keep it comfortable.

The arm cuffs get the laser-cut thermo-fused treatment that means they will be aero and unobtrusive. They are also not too long, so you won’t have to worry about your tan line hitting inconveniently just above your elbows. The waist has a soft elastic gripper at the back to keep everything in position while you are riding, or indeed while you are hanging out with your friends post-Saturday ride. The full Camlock zip means you can ventilate easily, and will accommodate any times you need to have a nature break wearing bib shorts.

The Giordana FR-C Short Sleeve Jersey is an extremely light, race-ready jersey that will prove to you that riding in top quality kit improves comfort and enjoyment.
