Giordana

Sport Elite Jersey - Men's

Few brands have ridden the cycling industry's constant waves of innovative change better than Giordana. Though the brand's jerseys have gradually become longer-sleeved, more race-fit, and are beginning to adopt some iconoclastic colorways, the Sport Elite men's jersey hearkens back to the Italian juggernaut's long, storied history while incorporating the modern details that define today's cycling jerseys.

The jersey's body wicks moisture, breathes, and does everything we expect from contemporary cycling kit, but it does it with a reimagined take on the classic sponsor bar across the chest and flocked branding. The fit is also somewhat throwback, as it recalls a time when not all cyclists were rail-thin climbers built like a GC hopeful in the final week of a grand tour.

Okay, that's an exaggeration, but so much of the top jerseys being made today are simply too painted-on slim for most actual people to ride in. this is even true for dedicated crit specialists, who tend to commit the sin of a well-developed upper body musculature. Whether you fall into that camp or you're simply looking for a less intense training jersey for coffee shop rides and recovery spins, the Giordana Sport fit puts comfort first and Euro-pro aspirations second.
