Giordana takes rider comfort seriously, and refuses to skimp on  quality materials. The Giordana Women’s Trade Maestra FRC Short Sleeve Jersey  is a prime example of how much focus the Italian company places on the comfort  and style needs of their riders.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  The  sleeves and shoulders are made from Asteria 2.0. It is the cream of the  Giordana crop in terms of lightweight performance fabrics. Light and soft, the  poly microfiber has a compact weave that offers fantastic coverage and a  modicum of compression. It wicks sweat away from the body and transports the  moisture to the exterior of the material, making it easy to evaporate. The  finely knit material has a touch of spandex interspersed so that it retains elasticity  for comfort. The material also has a UPF 50+ rating, so you don’t have to worry  so much about the sun burning you through and scorching your shoulders. The arm  cuffs are then made from AeroFix Pro, which is a combination of two other prime  Giordana materials, Ametista and Antigua. Ametista is used on the exterior. It provides a small amount of  compression, but more to the point, the carbon threads are woven throughout the  Ametista material, helping to keep the fabric supportive while also helping to  eliminate electrostatic interference. For the interior, Antigua is used. It has  a red semi-perforated internal surface that creates small pockets of air next  to the skin, allowing it to breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  front and side panels of the Women’s Trade Maestra FRC Short Sleeve Jersey are  made mainly from Giordana’s Gi27 fabric. It is a supremely soft material  largely due to the special hydraulic treatment process they put it through  which smoothes out the knit, creating an almost velvety touch. This makes the  material feel so comfortable against the skin that you won’t want to wear a  baselayer. Gi27 has excellent elasticity, which means that it will give you a  racing fit without encumbering you. It also has the added advantage of being  extremely colorfast, so that you won’t have to worry about fading colors or  bleeding dyes in your laundry. And in fact, the Gi27 fabric is one of the  keynotes of the whole piece since it is the material that allows for unique  sublimated graphics, which help you stand out from your local group ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHost  Carbon is used especially on the middle panel of the back. The fabric has an  elastic composition, which makes it possible for it to mold to the shape of  your back while still providing the stabilizing support required to hold your  back pockets in place and keep the lower half of the jersey from sagging. There  is actual carbon incorporated into the material. It provides very practical  services such as acting as an anti-bacterial and aiding in the acceleration of  evaporating any sweat build-up. But another quality that is less easy to  quantify is that carbon helps promote the overall well-being of the wearer  since it protect the riders from the electrical charges that permeate our  world. Giordana contends that the electrical charges in the atmosphere, often  the result of things like cell phone towers, can negatively affect athletic  performance by hindering muscle contraction, thereby promoting fatigue and  cramping. To combat this, the carbon fibers in the fabric actually conduct the  charges away from the body, preventing the body from retaining lactic acid  during the training session. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  shape of the panels of the Women’s Trade Maestra FRC Short Sleeve Jersey have  been determined by the Giordana Women’s Contour Fit system which results in a  snuggly ergonomic cut that will cuddle you just enough. You’ll feel the love as  soon as you slip into it before your ride. If you are looking through the  Giordana line up for ladies’ jerseys and wondering why you should get this  Trade Maestra FRC, keep in mind that the overall fit on this jersey is going to  be a bit more aggressive compared to the Scatto, for instance. Giordana has  used different construction and paneling methods for the Trade Maestra FRC  jersey, which means that it will hug the body a little bit more. Consequently  the cut is a touch shorter in the front. To hold the waist in place, Giordana  has resorted to a gripper at the elastic waistband, so you won’t have to worry  about side-sagging no matter how full your pockets are. You’ll have three patch  pockets with a fourth zippered pocket for security. The fourth pocket also  sports reflective elements to keep you visible. A CamLock full zipper finishes  the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  Giordana Women’s Trade Maestra FRC Short Sleeve Jersey has been created for the  women who like to ride aggressively for hours in race-ready gear. Look good,  feel comfortable, and kick ass in this jersey. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giordana","offers":[{"title":"Pink \/ White \/ Black \/ XS","offer_id":43512260886572,"sku":"S5-WSFR-MAES-PKWT-01","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/giordana-frc-trade-maestra-short-sleeve-jersey-8368571.jpg?v=1771300458","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/giordana-frc-trade-maestra-short-sleeve-jersey","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
