The new collection includes two jerseys and three pairs of trousers for use in warm conditions. All products are available for both men and women, with the size and colour selection adapted accordingly. The men's models are available in sizes XS to 3XL and are based on different material concepts for different areas of use.

Climber's A/C Jersey and Superleggera Bibshort

The Climber's A/C Jersey weighs 124 g and is designed for temperatures from 22 to 40 °C. The construction is based on CFD simulations for fabric placement and seam tracking. Flusso 3D material is used at the front, while the back is made of StradaPro 3D fabric. The shoulders utilise a special Airflow construction. The sleeves end at elbow length with unhemmed edges. A YKK Vislon zip and an elasticated waistband keep the jersey in place. The sun protection factor is UPF 13 and the jersey is available in four colour combinations, with the colour selection varying according to gender.

The Superleggera Bibshort weighs 158 g and uses a seamless stretch fabric with graduated ventilation. The material is designed to reduce weight by up to 50 per cent. The straps are made of minimal mesh material. The leg cuffs utilise integrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra. The Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is built in. The trousers are designed for 20 to 40 °C and are available in black and Belgian blue.
