Whilst travelling to the highest mountains, the smoothest roads, and iconic climbs might be on hold, some of the most testing days on a bike start at your doorstep. For those rides, you need kit that performs to the same high bar you measure yourself against.
Temperatures over 30 degrees aren't the preserve of Southern Europe, or equatorial climes. They happen close to home. We took the Pro Air to the Lake District, to pitch it against steep and gritty climbs, because whether an Alpine switchback or a stern gradient on your local loop, what it requires to perform remain the same - fit and breathability.
With 30% not uncommon for the roads around the Lakes, there's plenty of riding challenging enough to have you working hard. Our Pro Air Collection uses the same race proven fit that has sees our WorldTour riders take podiums on the sport's biggest stage. Using their insight and developing alongside them, we're able to apply that fit, to hone that feel and sharpen our cut to help you achieve your goals on the bike.
High humidity in what's one of the wettest parts of the UK, moisture management can be as critical here as when spiraling high in the Pyrenees. Breathability is assured through the Pro Air Jersey's unparalleled lightness. An intricate weave pattern makes provides this jersey with a 3D texture - increasing the surface area and improving the speed of evaporation without sacrificing on fit, or tensile strength.
If you're planning your next high-summer epic, make sure that you're prepared to take on the heat from dawn to dusk. A tough ride is it's own reward, but when testing your limits, it's best to lean on every advantage.
