Giordana Scatto Trade Squadra Short Sleeve Jersey

Giordana Scatto Trade Squadra Short Sleeve Jersey Info

Looking at the Giordana Women’s Trade Scatto Short Sleeve Jersey, you’ll notice a lot of similarities compared to the Trade FRC. Though it uses many of the same fabrics as the top of the line FRC, the Scatto paneling and construction offer a slightly more relaxed fit, perfect for leisure riding.

The sleeves and shoulders are made from Asteria 2.0. It is the cream of the Giordana crop in terms of lightweight performance fabrics. Light and soft, the poly microfiber 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 elasticity for comfort. Asteria also has a UPF 50+ rating, so you don’t have to worry so much about the sun burning you through scorching your shoulders. And then for the arm cuffs, a Double Asteria is used, so that the arm hems will be gently held in place without any chance of snagging arm hairs or cutting into the skin with silicon buttons. A design feature that is unique to the Scatto comes in the form of how the jersey shoulder panel, armpit panel, and side panels all work together. Instead of a classic raglan cut, the shoulders and the side panels are connected by a narrow section of fabric to increase the ventilation and give the jersey a relaxed, non-binding fit at the shoulders.

The front and side panels of the Women’s Trade Scatto Short Sleeve Jersey are made mainly from Giordana’s Gi27 fabric. It is a supremely soft material largely due to the special hydraulic treatment process they put it through smoothes out the knit, creating an almost velvety touch. This makes the material feel so comfortable against the skin that you won’t want to wear a baselayer. Gi27 has excellent elasticity which means that you will never feel pulled or squeezed too tightly. It also has the added advantage of being extremely colorfast, so that you won’t have to worry about fading colors or bleeding dyes in your laundry. And in fact, the Gi27 fabric is one of the keynotes of the whole piece since it is the material that allows for unique sublimated graphics, which help you stand out from your local group ride.

Host Carbon is used especially on the middle panel of the back. 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. 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.

The shape of the panels of the Women’s Trade Scatto Short Sleeve Jersey have been determined by the Giordana Women’s Contour Fit system which results in a comfy cut that will cuddle you just enough. You’ll feel the love as soon as you slip into it before your ride. If you are looking through the Giordana line up for ladies’ jerseys and wondering why you should get this Women’s Trade Scatto Short Sleeve Jersey, keep in mind that the overall the fit is intended for those riders who prefer a jersey with a bit more volume traditional fit compared to the body-hugging, super aero pro cyclist fit. To hold the waist in place, Giordana has resorted to a gripper at the elastic waistband, so you won’t have to worry about side-sagging no matter how full your pockets are. You’ll have three patch pockets with reflective strips along the center pocket to keep you visible. There is also a fourth zippered pocket where you can keep your can’t-lose valuables like your house keys. A CamLock full zipper finishes off the piece.

Slotting in between the FRC and the Vero jersey lines, the Giordana Women’s Trade Scatto Short Sleeve Jersey will be the perfect top for your afternoon rides at the park.
