A retro design that features more than enough mod cons, the Classica Sportwool Jersey from De Marchi is truly the best of both worlds.
De Marchi have done it again: doffing their cap to the history of great cycling heroes while still creating apparel ready for the future. So that means modern little extras like double-needle stitching in key areas to prevent chafing, chin guards to avoid irritation from the full-length zip and stabilized-but-roomy back pockets that won't sag as you ride. Legendary riders of old would have killed for features like these.
But of course, the old classics are still present and correct. An old school slim fit helps you make the most of those aero gains at every turn, and the merino wool-blend fabric feels great against the skin, packs in plenty of lightweight insulation and still manages to wick sweat away from the skin when the intensity starts to rise. The quality of the hand-made Italian fabrics is top notch, as you'd expect, and back gripper elastic ensure that it's all held perfectly in place as you ride.
