Anyone who thinks there's no room for palm fronds on race-cut, competitive-minded cycling kits has clearly never been paying attention to the annual February exodus from Europe to Qatar during which Belgians ride around in the subtropical desert blowing the peloton apart in crosswinds. Attaquer's Palms Kit proves that either the Australian manufacturer has been paying attention to the migratory habits of skinny Europeans with funny tan lines or someone at the firm has an uncle with a vested interest in the present superfood trend touting the benefits of the açaí palm's fruit.
Whatever the circumstances of its birth, the Australian-designed, Italian-made Palms Kit comes into this world with a race-fit cut and gentle compression that make it ideal for trying to close the gap and limit losses even in the balmy subtropics. It's also dimpled throughout and has extended sleeves and legs, both of which are reminiscent of the aerodynamic trend sweeping the peloton with the same alacrity that açaí has swept the health foods aisle, helping you hang on if you suddenly find yourself with a gap off the front. Being exposed to the wind doesn't mean you'll be exposed to the sun, though, as the arm and laser-cut leg feature thin, gripping bands to maintain a wide breadth of coverage and take full advantage of the material's UVP of 50.
For all the fabric's impressive properties, a kit's chamois is its make-or-break point. The chamois is also Italian, and it features a triple density design that's meant to draw pressure away from the perineal region the way açaí is supposed to pull toxins out of your liver. In other words, you'll get more support and substance at the sit bones than on the preceding softer tissues. The insert is also perforated to dissipate heat and moisture, and friction is virtually eliminated by the smooth Italian microfiber cover that stretches to move with you and babies your skin with a gentle touch on par with the relieving breeze of a pool-side, palm frond fan.
