Attaquer

Sunset Palms Kit - Men's

Some prefer to take their chances on the slot machines at a certain casino in Vegas, while others might prefer to try for a PR one last time on that climb, even though the sun is setting. Whichever type you are — or maybe you're both — Attaquer's Sunset Palms Kit evokes the energy of palm trees, casinos, and sunset cycling all in one highly functional kit. Boldly departing from the types of classic apparel designs favored by traditionalists, Attaquer, in its own words, is "not afraid to be different, and neither are the people who choose to wear our designs." The outspoken Australian company rallies against tradition, choosing to embrace the unconventional while its founders use their ample cycling experience to craft apparel that functions as well as it stands out.

To guarantee the kit lives up to the design, Attaquer uses Italian Lycra for both the jersey and shorts. The jersey is cut in a supportive, body-contour silhouette with a perforated front panel to enhance the Lycra's already excellent breathability. The kit's Lycra construction also guarantees that both the jersey and shorts will retain their shape after hours of riding, reducing the risk of frustrating chafing and bunching during all-day rides, and the fabric is treated to maintain its saturated hue throughout repeated washes. Extra details like a custom waist gripper and zip pulls keep the jersey comfortable and adaptable during long days in the saddle, and the jersey earned a UPF 50+ rating for its sun-blocking properties.

Besides the jersey's atmospheric twilight colors, the shorts receive much of the same treatment as their counterpart, including the same body-contour ethos and Lycra construction. Attaquer uses square panels in the design, stitched together with flatlock seaming for added comfort. Clean, laser-cut hemlines on the legs are held in place by thermo-taped grippers that lie flat without causing chafing or irritation, while the entire body of the shorts offers the same color retention and sun protection as the jersey. Attaquer uses perforated mesh to shape the anatomic bib straps, and includes a well-designed chamois for long-lasting comfort during long or short days in the saddle. Triple-density foam luxuriously lessens pressure and provides support in the places you need it, all while moving with you throughout your pedal stroke, from sunup to sunset, if you choose.
