On wintry days it's easy to fantasize about a pro's off-season life -- daylong easy rides in the warm climes of some beachfront paradise like Mallorca, Nice, or Capetown, right? Cappuccinos, cakes, suntans, bikinis tied tightly around the native beauties? Ah, yes, that's what we'd like to think. But from what we've heard, that's exactly what it ain't. A good pro is handcuffed to an SRM and an Excel spreadsheet that tracks every last calorie. The long miles are physically draining and too mind-numbing to be social.

You'll find Bobby J. in the Philly suburbs. Jens Voigt will be in the forests of Germany. Fabian Cancellara will be in the foothills of Tuscany. The stars of CSC slog through the winter in the same chill as you and me, and we can be even more similar to them thanks to the fact that we can wear the exact long sleeve winter jersey they wear as they put down their winter miles. It's made by Descente from their Thermal H2O fabric, a 100% polyester with vapor channel technology. Few long sleeve jerseys offer such a nice equilibrium between breathability, moisture management, and insulation. And its soft brushed interior has the plushness you expect from a high-end piece of winter apparel. It has a full zip and three cargo pockets. Available in sizes Small through XX-Large.
