Summer Riding

Choosing the right Lightweight Jersey for your ride intensity and conditions

When the heat intensifies, every detail of your kit begins to matter. Airflow, moisture management and overall weight all play a critical role in maintaining performance through high temperatures and long summer rides. Lightweight jerseys are engineered to support performance in high temperatures, helping riders maintain comfort, efficiency and focus when conditions are at their most demanding.

While lighter construction and reduced fabric can appear less performance-focused, the reality is the opposite. Developing a jersey that feels almost imperceptible on the bike, while still delivering the fit, breathability and support required for hard efforts, demands a highly considered approach to fabric selection and construction. Every detail is refined with purpose.

Pro Air Jersey

Maximum airflow for maximum performance

Our lightest and most breathable jersey, the Pro Air Jersey is built for cyclists who demand peak performance in sweltering conditions. Constructed entirely from ultra-light mesh, it actively channels airflow across the skin while rapidly wicking sweat away, making it the go-to jersey for hot climbs, humid days, or intense summer sessions.

“We worked hard to develop an ultra-lightweight product that still provides high-level functionality and a refined fit,” says Le Col founder Yanto Barker. “It’s called the Pro Air Jersey for a reason. It’s so light you’ll forget you’re wearing it. That’s exactly what you want when riding in the heat: zero distractions.”

High-Speed Performance With More Coverage

The Pro Lightweight Jersey is ideal for riders training or racing hard in sunny conditions for riders who still want greater coverage and sun protection.

Micro mesh fabrics across the front and sleeves maintain high airflow during sustained efforts, while the denser rear fabric protects against prolonged sun exposure on long summer rides.

Compared to the Pro Air, it offers slightly more structure and protection while remaining highly breathable.

Why a Summer Base Layer Still Matters

The harder you ride, the more important moisture management becomes.

A lightweight summer base layer helps pull sweat away from the skin before it saturates your jersey, improving evaporation and helping regulate body temperature more efficiently.

For high-intensity riding especially, pairing the right jersey with a breathable base layer can noticeably improve comfort and cooling performance.
