Reviewing the New 50+ Summer Jersey

Wore my new summerweight 50+ jersey for the first time today. The fabric is thinner and seems a bit stretchier and the normal jersey. It's called "CS Tech Mesh".

The texture feels a little bit like, well, lingerie.... so a ride can now be an even more sensual experience. If you are prone to distractions in this area a base layer might be a good idea.

From a distance the jersey looks pretty much the same as the normal 50+ model and the prints and logos look just as good.

Here are a few shots on a live model:


In this final shot I'm trying to show off my Sock Guy Crash Test Dummy socks... not sure the orange works with the jersey, but WTH, why be a slave to fashion?


I rode semi-briskly today in fairly warm conditions and the heat exchange does seem to be better than the normal jersey fabric, even with bibs and a thin baselayer. I'm glad I've got one of these since I am not a heat lover. Thanks to Brother Curtis for pointing out this option.

Verdict:
