When racing legend Andy Hampsten retired from racing, he settled in Tuscany. It's a befitting locale for the sole American winner of the Giro d'Italia -- Tuscany is the warm heart of Italian cycling culture. And it's Tuscany where the CapoForma Tuscan Long Sleeve Jersey belongs. At least in spirit. For those cool late summer evenings, the chilly autumn days, the uneven weather of spring. The race inspired design is moving without being too bling. Something that will stay stylish for years.

This full-zip jersey is made from CapoForma's Winter Quattro fabric. It's a dual-layer knit that's fleecy on the inside and smooth on the outside, the inner layer pulling perspiration away from the body or damp undershirt and transporting it to the exterior where it can easily evaporate in the wind. The jersey stretches some, though not as much as a CapoForma summer jersey, and is designed to be worn snug from low 50s to low 60s with a sleeveless base layer. A heavier base layer will take the jersey down well into the 40's.

The Quattro of the title refers to the little squares that can be seen in the knit. The 4cm collar is tall enough to keep out the chilly air, but not so big as to be overly warm. The jersey has three rear pockets and a silicone gel gripper at he bottom hem.

For fashion, the Tuscan shares the designs of the Diavolo and M1 jerseys. The designs work on their own, mix well with others, and go great with the matching shorts.

The Capoforma Tuscan has a 4cm collar, a full-length lockable zipper, three back pockets, and the Capoforma Silicone Gel Waist Grippers. It is available in Diavolo (Red w/ Black and White accents), M1 Black and M1 White. Sizes are Small through 2XL.
