"The heartlands of the Cold Dark North cover the North West of the UK. The vast areas of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland are all subtly different. But the best of days in each is punctuated primarily by two colours – the iridescent blue skies and the lush green vegetation (fed by the regular rains). We know that winter is coming. Sometimes we wonder if it ever really left us. So we’ve teamed up with Zero Lemon and Attacus again to design and create a summer weight long sleeved jersey that weaves our green and blue surroundings into the fabric of the kit but is versatile enough to be used all year round. When you ride this autumn, winter and next spring, you’ll be reminded that those best days are just around the corner again!"
IMPORTANT PRE-ORDER INFORMATION
The Lightweight Long Sleeve Foundation Jersey: Features & Fabrics
We believe the foundation of any good piece of cycling kit is comfort. So we’ve created a collection that puts comfort at its core. The culmination of almost three years of research and development, this collection has become a trusted go-to for multi day endurance athletes and casual cafe spinners alike. Expertly tailored to be comfortably close fitting, these cycling wardrobe staples really are the perfect all-rounders.

- Shortened zip length for a better fit in a riding position
- Highly breathable and sweat wicking
- Discreet mesh back panel for extra breathability on hot days
- Three reinforced rear pockets deep enough to fit your smartphone
- Discreet silicon hem at the back helps keep your jersey in place
- 85% polyester, 15% spandex
- Made in Italy
“A long sleeve version of our signature short sleeve summer Foundation Jersey, this lightweight jersey is great for spring, autumn and milder winter conditions when you just need to take a bit of the chill off. If you like your kit to fit nice and tight without any excess bagginess, then this is the jersey for you. Its sleeve style, shortened zip length and tapered collar mean it'll fit great when you’re bent over in a riding position. And the fabric not only looks and feels amazing, it’s fantastically technical too. We’ve done thousands of kilometres of ride testing with different jersey fabrics over the years, and these are some of the best we’ve come across. Breathable, lightweight, durable and with just the right amount of stretch - the back panel even has a mesh-like quality, with micro holes that give a little extra breathability on warmer days.”

This is because every computer/phone monitor has a different capability to display colours, and that everyone sees these colours differently.

Men's Size Guide
The technical fabrics in this jersey are designed for movement, and will naturally stretch. It's why you may find you fit into more than one size bracket. So to help you find the best fit for you, we recommend you follow the steps below.

- Start by measuring your chest all the way around at the fullest part. Then use this number to see which size options you fall into from our size charts below.
- Use the zip length measurement to work out how each size will fit on you, and make sure you're happy with the length.
- Consider how you want your kit to fit. Do you like it quite close fitting? Or prefer it a little looser? Make sure your chosen size reflects how you like to wear it.

Testimonials

We’re all so pleased with our new kit. The quality and the design are excellent. The shorts are the comfiest I have worn. I think we’ll cause quite a stir amongst the locals… I hope that they don’t expect pro performance to go with the pro kit!
