The Summit Aero Mesh Jersey has been designed specifically for warm-weather, long-distance rides. Not only has it been constructed entirely with a lightweight, stretch mesh, but this jersey also features active-cooling from 37.5® Technology, where tiny Cocona particles woven into fabric absorb humidity and move it away from the skin for efficient body-temperature regulation.
An independent University of Colorado study has shown the inclusion of 37.5® in athletic apparel can increase performance output by as much as 25%. We’ve made sure to also include the smooth-action and durable YKK Vislon semi-locking zipper, three full-size pockets with expanding bottom bellows and a zippered valuables pockets for cards, cash and keys.
What sets this jersey apart from all the others is the use of woven Cocona particles from 37.5® Technology. Those incredible, little particles attract humidity and use your body heat to rapidly transfer perspiration from the interior to the exterior of the garment. This rapid transfer of moisture ensures a regulated body temperature and can increase athletic performance by as much as a 25%.
A raw edge cut sleeve is a thing of beauty. It's a seamless marriage between your arm and the sleeve, enhancing both comfort and aerodynamic performance. And, it looks elegant.
The biggest advantage of a locking zipper is the ability for the wearer to singlehandedly unzip and open their jersey for venting. Merely flip the pull up to unlock the zipper. Then, with one hand, the jersey can be pulled open. Flip the pull back down to lock the zipper pull in place.
With three extra-wide rear pockets with expanding, bottom bellows and a zippered valuables pocket.
This jersey has a spicy, see-through mesh front panel and a rear zipper pocket for stashing valuables. The back has a more solid pinhole mesh that moves a lot of moisture—among the most in our test. Pactimo delivers some nice details, too, including a comfortable low-profile collar, expanding rear pockets, and reflective accents for better nighttime visibility.
Bicycling Magazine selected the Summit Aero Mesh as one of the best jerseys on the market for optimal moisture transfer (results based on independent lab test).
