The jersey has been manufactured at three levels – Pro (£139), Expert (£74), and Sport (£50).

Each is available in a couple of different designs, and we had the the pleasure of wearing the ‘pro’ jersey in the Galaxy design, which comes as part of a range, with matching shorts, gloves, and cap, along with similar colours on the Empire shoes and Amare II helmet.

Giro worked with Italian production companies to create their own fabric, which is a mix of polyester (80%) and elastane (20%). We don’t want to sound overly gushy – but we seriously loved wearing this jersey.

Often, a high end, aero, pro fit jersey sits very tight against the skin, but doesn’t have much stretch. There’s always a heart-stopping moment, when you join the zip at the hips and think: “Oh, no… is this too small?” Then you suck in. This usually works ok on the bike, but you often find yourself self conscious off it.

With the Giro Pro Jersey, the material stretches blissfully, to accommodate for your own individual curves, without sacrificing aerodynamics or comfort via flappy, extra fabric.

The fabric is stunningly light – at 117 grams – and incredibly breathable.

Moving to the Expert level, the fabric becomes 100% polyester, so you lose a bit of stretch, but other features remain. At Sport, you’ve got a polyester and organic cotton mix, and there’s around an inch of extra breathing space to ensure the range is approachable for riders of all shapes and sizes.
