Climber’s Jersey and Inferno Bibshort – the ultimate summer kit

The Climber’s Jersey and Inferno Bibshort are designed for racing in the mountains or in hot weather. We didn’t want to completely ignore aerodynamics, so we used patterning similar to our Aero Race 5.1 Jersey, which we knew was fast. The resulting jersey is extremely cool and light and instantly became a favorite with our pro riders. The Inferno, our hot-weather short, features a highly breathable and light fabric on the sides and back of the legs, plus the airy GiroAir leg band. The Team Sky riders are wearing this in all conditions because it also happens to fit extremely well and is one of the most comfortable shorts they’ve ever worn.

Team Sky InSide Collection

IT’S WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS On the inside it’s identical to what the Team Sky riders train and race in. On the outside, there are just a couple of Team Sky stripes and a small Team Sky logo to give away what’s on the inside. Life as a pro can be hard, but it can be pretty nice too when you have the right clothing. Riding in the Team Sky Inside kit you immediately feel how good the Team Sky pro clothing really is. But here you have a clean modern graphic, but the exact same gear that’s created for racing by the best team in the biggest races. These products are made for and with the feedback from the Team Sky riders. Team Sky Inside pieces are the exact same garments as used by the pros, but without the pro sponsored graphic. You get the same pro fit, fabrics and even custom Team Sky details like the zipper pulls, Team Sky elastic, space to write your name so it doesn’t get confused with your teammates.

T1:Stealth Top 2 | Shorten the bike leg

QUEEN K AND WIND TUNNEL TESTED Wind tunnel testing shows that an long-distance bike leg will go by almost 6 minutes quicker with the new T1:Stealth Top 2, compared to our sleeveless Free top. For version 2 we focused on improving the fit.  The front is in a smooth stretch polyester fabric, while the back and shoulders use a specially developed dimpled fabric that helps the boundary layer of air detach from the body. The back blocks 94 percent of UV rays, providing reasonable race-day sun protection. Wear it over your sleeveless tri kit or, in hotter conditions, by itself, and you’ll be faster with the same effort. The fit is specific to the tri position to maximize aerodynamics without compromising weight and comfort. The top is meant to be worn on the bike only and features a full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper to help make it easy to put on and take off in transition. The T1:Stealth Top 2 is an absolute time saver for half- and long-distance races. The new T1:Stealth Top 2 is available in multiple color ways  in men’s and women’s versions: T1:Stealth Top 2 Men – T1:Stealth Top 2 Women
