Cima Coppi Colle dell'Agnello Jersey - Men's

Looming high above the Italian and French countrysides, the Colle dell'Agnello's harsh, Alpine landscape makes the Giro's other climbs look like rolling pastoral scenes. As the highest international road through the Alps, the unforgiving Colle dell'Agnello earned the distinction as the Cima Coppi, or highest peak, in the 2016 Giro, subjecting competitors to over 20 grueling kilometers of dizzying climbing along grades of over nine percent. The mountain is so extreme that three cars were once buried in an avalanche mid-race. To commemorate the iconic climb, Santini, a proud sponsor of the Giro, released its Cima Coppi Colle dell'Agnello Men's Jersey this year, allowing cyclists of any ability to show support for what many consider the most exciting grand tour.

Santini crafts the jersey with an accommodating silhouette complete with longer, fitted sleeves and a contoured collar to ensure the jersey follows your body movements in the saddle without the next-to-skin fit of a full "aero" cut. It's not a loose, baggy monster, but it also isn't made for emaciated Italian climbers. Moisture-wicking, breathable Kontatto fabric helps pull moisture away from your skin while you ride to keep you cool and dry, and lightweight Cyber Rider panels on the back help improve ventilation. A stretchy back hem keeps the jersey in place while you're stretched out over the bars, and three rear pockets and a full-length zipper round out the versatile design.
