La Vuelta Santuario Del Acebo Short-Sleeve Jersey - Men's

The grand tours make for some of cycling's greatest moments, and La Vuelta is, in our opinion, one of the most exciting. Notorious for its unpredictability, with seasoned veterans being knocked from the podium by up-and-comers, it's a race that truly can make or break cycling careers. Santini shows its passion for La Vuelta by crafting a series of jerseys to honor its heritage, with La Vuelta Santuario Del Acebo Short-Sleeve Jersey paying homage to the 15th and 16th stages of the race. Its bright yellow and blue graphic honor the flag of the mountainous region of Asturias that hosts both stages, while the cross motif (known as the Cruz se la Victoria) gives credit to Pelagius, the region's first kind who carried the cross into battle. While the aesthetics tell a deep story, Santini wouldn't craft it without putting emphasis on the materials themselves, too. The jersey features lightweight synthetic fabric designed to manage moisture by actively seeking perspiration, and moving it outwards to quickly dry, helping your core stay cool and comfortable on the climbs. Raw-edge Bodyfit sleeves contour to you for an aerodynamic fit, reducing drag when you soar down canyons, and ascend the next mountain ahead. The jersey is finished off with all the bells and whistles we expect from the brand, like a full-length zipper for dropping heat on the climbs, a silicone gripper at the hem to lock fit in place, and three deep pockets to keep riding essentials secure.
