Giordana Laser Short Sleeve Jersey

Giordana Laser Short Sleeve Jersey Info

If you want a form-fitting compression jersey that you won’t need to be continually adjusting and readjusting throughout your ride, then have a close look at the Giordana Laser Women’s Short Sleeve Jersey. Made for long hours of summer riding, you’ll find that you’ll get the sort of race fit that you want without having to deal with the tight inconveniences that mark a poorly designed lady’s jersey.

To make sure that the jersey functions with an aerodynamic, race fit, the Giordana Laser Women’s Short Sleeve Jersey has been constructed to curve along your natural shape while you are in the riding position. The placement of the panels are determined by the Giordana Women’s Contour Fit system which results in a snuggly ergonomic fit that will cuddle you just enough. For the material on the front panels and shoulders, Giordana uses a light version of their Moovix fabric. Moovix is a hollow micro fiber fabric that is not only light weight but also offers firm compression. It has an unusual honeycomb construction that gives an all-way stretch. Giordana even designed it to affect a gentle massaging feel due to constant expanding and contracting of the move-with-you stretch and strong compression. You can also count on not having to worry about moisture build-up since the material will prevent any dampness from resting on the surface of your skin. Moovix has undergone an antibacterial treatment to prevent odors or rash-causing bacteria from proliferating.

The rear Y-shaped panel is made from the Asteria fabric that Giordana favors when it wants to use a highly light weight but supportive material. 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. The material also has a UPF 50+ rating, so you don’t have to worry so much about the sun burning you through the material. That is especially important at places like the center of your back, which will likely be exposed to direct sunlight for 90% of a ride.

For the back panel flanks, Giordana introduces their Host Carbon material. This fabric has an elastic composition, which makes it possible for it to mold to the shape of your back. 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. At the back of the neck there is a unique half-moon shaped expandable insert that allows the collar to adjust according to your position on the bike. It is a mesh insert that is very stretchable laterally, but not vertically. This helps hold the collar in position whether you’re in the drops or on the top of the bars. The insert is just below the collar. 

The details have not been ignored with the Giordana Laser Women’s Short Sleeve Jersey. A full-length reversed CamLock zipper means that you can ventilate at will. The hem of the jersey will be held in place by the Jacquard logo elastic that has been reinforced at the back with silicon dots, so that even when you have your three patch pockets filled to capacity, the jersey will stay firmly in place on your back. Added to the three usual rear pockets is a fourth vertical zipper pocket that will mean you can be sure your keys will never be jumping out at an inopportune moment. A reflective band along the zippered pocket will also add to your visibility when you are out after sunset.

The Giordana Laser Women’s Short Sleeve Jersey will be a prime addition to your weekend racing kit, but will also be comfortable enough for you to turn to it for those recovery rides you take with the kids.
