Giordana Lungo Short Sleeve Jersey

Giordana Lungo Short Sleeve Jersey Info

A common complaint among cycling enthusiasts is that most techy gear these days are designed for racers and then marketed to us normal riders. That means, though that things like generous cuts and adequate pocket space are not considered. The Giordana Lungo Short Sleeve Jersey changes that whole equation by offering the hobby cyclist the type of top that will accommodate long rides and leisure rides alike.

Don’t think the Lungo will be flapping around you like an old, ill-fitting early spandex offering. Giordana has designed it to fit the body very well without feeling skin tight. One feature important to the fit is what they call their Hammerhead Shoulder Design. It means that the material extends around the shoulder and stretches from one end to the other, ensuring that the jersey will stay in place and will eliminate any excess fabric that could potentially flap in the wind or bunch up behind your neck. The fact that the material will sit next to your skin, without being overly restrictive, will help the fabric do what it is supposed to do and wick the moisture away from your torso. The weave of the material has been specialized to create the perfect push-pull effect since the exterior and interior offer different weaves, creating channels through which the sweat can be moved away from your body and out to the open to ventilate quickly.

Aside from the cut, Giordana has given the Lungo a perfect six pocket design that will make it much easier to carry all the kit you need to have for long rides. How often have we been confounded by the tiny “aero” pockets that can barely fit a few gels, let alone a modern sized smart phone and effective wind vest? With this unique six pocket design, you will get the normal three patch pockets in the rear as well as two easily accessible side pockets. The sixth is a cunning little pocket that doesn’t have a zip, but will be perfect for those items you want to reach super quickly, like gels and bars, without having to fumble around any of the other items you are carrying. All of the five main pockets have a lip that will protect against things popping out, so you can say goodbye to the safety pins you may have used in the past to ensure everything remains secure.

Long ride days usually start before the sun comes up and will end sometime after dusk, which means that staying visible will be another issue you will be facing. The Giordana Lungo Short Sleeve Jersey comes well lined with reflective piping around the cuffs, below the pockets, and around the opening of the sixth pocket in the rear. A couple of the color options are also intended to be bright and alert drivers to your presence even if it’s not dark enough for cars to have their lights on. This feature will make the Lungo not only your best bet for those double centuries, but also for your commuting kit. Then to finish it off, the Lungo jersey has an easy to pull full zip, and a soft jacquard elastic waistband.

The Giordana Lungo Short Sleeve Jersey will be the perfect top for those days when you would rather not need to squeeze into a race jersey. Commuting, Gran Fondos, coffee rides, the Lungo will become your favorite option.
