Jersey Short Sleeve R2 Fresco

Since the Raglan cut was introduced to cycling jerseys by the 1986 PDM team more for logo visibility than aero efficiency, the raglan cut can be less than ideal when not carefully designed. Our R2 Short Sleeve Jersey updates this traditional cut to enhance its comfort and overall performance. Using our expertise in body mapping, we’ve made studies in the aerodynamic performance of the design to find the best materials to use and most efficient places to place the panels and seams. The result is a jersey that will not have material bunching up at the back of the neck causing irritation and drag. To avoid this, the sleeves have been made with a lightly ribbed fabric that does not quite meet at the back of the neck. Instead the back panel made from a honeycomb mesh starts at the nape of the neck, spreads out across the shoulders and down to the top of the pockets. It’s a design that works with the characteristics of the materials to ensure a sung, efficient fit. The front panel is made from a micro perforated material that is very light and breathable. This extremely lightweight cycling jersey only weighs 112 grams, and offers a level of breathability that will help you feel comfortable on hot rides in the summer on your road or gravel bike.
