Vélobici aiming to keep riders cool with new René and Continental super-lightweight summer jerseys

Premium cyclewear brand Vélobici has developed a new super-lightweight fabric for its latest collection of performance jerseys and bib shorts. The snappily named VB/Pro-VR2 is described as “a high-tech performance nylon, developed with a honeycomb fabric construction and providing a lightweight 150g fabric that excels on the road.”

The new three-season kit promises to perform exceptionally under warm conditions due to the fabric’s ease of movement and wicking capabilities.

The René is a high performance full-length zip jersey benefitting from a standard race fit. It features superlight ‘vélobici’ Jacquard detailing to the side panels and underarm for added ventilation, and is completed with Vélobici’s classic eye for detail, with embroidered René and VB logos to the chest and the brand’s recognisable reflective binding to the rear pocket and hem.

The use of performance nylon, over polyester, keeps this four-pocket jersey (one zipped and waterproof) durable, while delivering better moisture wicking and odour resistance. It is available in sand with wine and black detailing or in wine with sand and black detailing. The René jersey is priced at £175.

Designed to complement both jerseys, the René bib shorts are made from VB/Pro-VR1 performance fabric (280g) to ensure extra comfort in the saddle. It features a new VB pad, constructed using foam carving and wave body technology, this is then covered with bioceramic anti-bacterial fabric that is made using clay minerals. The minerals help reflect F.I.R infrared rays emitted by the human body, providing the rider with unrivalled comfort and thermoregulation. Vented lightweight centre back, silicone leg grippers with Vélobici butt and VB thigh embroideries finish the classic look. They are available individually at £180 and are available as a set at £310.

The biggest selling jersey in the Vélobici portfolio has been given a lightweight makeover for summer, with the classic Continental kit now available in 150g honeycomb fabric. A versatile roadwear staple, this short sleeve Continental jersey delivers the same superior comfort and stretch in the saddle, but with a cool and lightweight feel, making it an essential piece of kit for the warmer weather.

This navy jersey is completed with a full-length zip, lightweight ‘vélobici’ jacquard side panels and under arm, gold VB and Continental embroidered logos to the chest, and the brand’s recognisable reflective top pocket and hem binding in gold. Seamless silicone gripper on the hem and sleeve cuffs keeps everything where it should be, regardless of the conditions. The Continental jersey is priced at £175.

The new Continental bib shorts are made from Vélobici’s exclusive VB/Pro-VR1 fabric (280g), they benefit from four-way stretch and exceptional wicking. The Continental bibs again feature the new VB pad.

They are available individually at £180 and are available as a set at £310.
