Giordana FRC Sleeveless Jersey

Giordana FRC Sleeveless Jersey Info

Sleeveless dresses and tops are ubiquitous summertime fashions for ladies. As cute as they look, the effect can be ruined if you have a seriously sharp tan line midway down your bicep. That’s where the Giordana Women’s FRC Sleeveless Jersey will prove its worth since you will be able to ride as long and hard as you like on the weekends, but your office wear can still include the fashionable summer outfits you’ll want to sport.

To make sure the Women’s FRC Sleeveless Jersey fits according to the needs of the lady rider, Giordana makes use of their contour fit process so that the piece will fit a woman in the riding position without any unwanted gaps in arm holes or excess material flapping around the back of the neck and shoulders. It is a method and pattern developed through the feedback that Giordana has received from their pro team affiliations. And the chosen materials suit the required design. The main panels on the front, back sides and shoulders are made from Giordana’s silky smooth Sensitive fabric. It is an extremely light weight material that allows the body to breathe, making it easy for any moisture to evaporate. It also provides a unique amount of support for such a light fabric, so much so that in other Giordana items it is even used when there is a built-in bra required. Though there is no built-in bra with the Sleeveless Jersey, you will still enjoy a certain amount of support, which is always a good thing no matter how pleased you are with your sports bra underneath. Sensitive is a fabric that has everything you could want in a summer-weight material. Whether you are riding in the humid summers of the deep south, or glory in the dry heat envelopes you find in the western mountain states, the Giordana Women’s FRC Sleeveless Jersey has been designed and crafted to keep you cool and dry while still providing great coverage.

For the rear middle panel, Giordana steps away from the Sensitive fabric and uses their gold standard Host Carbon material. The fabric has an elastic composition, which makes it possible for it to mold to the shape of your back while still providing the stabilizing support required to hold your back pockets in place and keep the lower half of the jersey from sagging. That is particularly valuable in a sleeveless jersey where you don’t have the additional support that the fabric around the shoulders and arms can provide. There is actual carbon incorporated into the material. It provides very practical services such as acting as an anti-bacterial and aiding in the acceleration of evaporating any sweat build-up. But another quality that is less easy to quantify is that carbon helps promote the overall well-being of the wearer since it protect the riders from the electrical charges that permeate our world. Giordana contends that the electrical charges in the atmosphere, often the result of things like cell phone towers, can negatively affect athletic performance by hindering muscle contraction, thereby promoting fatigue and cramping. To combat this, the carbon fibers in the fabric actually conduct the charges away from the body, preventing the body from retaining lactic acid during the training session.

If that all sounds a little too esoteric to be believed, you’ll certainly feel the difference that the special Asteria fabric that Giordana uses for side panels. Light and soft, the poly micro fiber has a compact weave that offers fantastic coverage and a modicum of compression. It wicks sweat away from the body and transports the moisture to the exterior of the material, making it easy to evaporate. The finely knit material has a touch of spandex interspersed so that it retains an elasticity for comfort. For directly under the arms, Giordana uses their Kite Mesh since it is also very light and guarantees immediate ventilation.

Getting short-changed on the pocket space is something women always have to deal with when looking into lady-specific jerseys. Giordana understands that if anything, ladies need more, not less pocket space, and so give three rear pockets with ample space and an additional fourth zippered pocket so that you can store those few things like house keys that you simply can’t lose on a ride. A reflective band is given to the zippered pocket so that you will be kept safely visible if you stay out past dusk on a warm summer evening. A light elastic band at the front of the waist will hold the jersey in place while the back hem has silicon gripper markings that will offer additional aid. And glory halleluiah, the Giordana Women’s FRC Sleeveless Jersey comes with a full length CamLock reversed zipper so that you can easily ventilate and have multiple options of just how you want to do it. It also makes it super easy to take the jersey off for those mid-ride nature breaks when you’re wearing bib shorts.

The Giordana Women’s FRC Sleeveless Jersey will be perfect for those long, hot rides that we train all winter in order to enjoy come summertime.
