The fit, finish and details of the Sportful Italia CL jersey makes this garment one of the finest jerseys we offer. Paying homage to the Italian national team, the understated details feature the Italia Scuddeto (small shield) logo on the chest, with 5 embossed stars to signify previous victories. Additionally, Sportful designers called some attention to the the solid color jersey with the tricolore zipper sleeve.

As far as construction goes, Sportful uses their Micro Bi-knit multi-denier polyester cross-dyed fabric. In simple terms, denier is a unit of linear mass of the density of fibers, so multi-denier simply means several different densities of fibers. Multiple density construction creates a 3D structure that elevates the fabric off of the skin, which greatly improves wicking and moisture management. Beyond moisture control, the fabric is low volume and soft to the touch. Cross-dyeing is a process where fabrics can create a slight variation of the same color. In the case of the Italia CL jersey, this creates a solid colored garment, that takes on a very slight multi-colored effect by having a minority amount of the thread being white in color, to offset the majority colored thread. The net result being a visually stunning garment.

The 4-needle overlock stitching sits flat and present in all panel hems. This particular stitch allows for maximum comfort due to its ability to stretch and contract in an accordion-like manner. This allows for the panels to map your body like a second skin when in motion, with no pulling of chafing of the panels. The shoulder-sleeve configuration is a semi-raglan design for excellent mobility, comfort and moderate compression. The bottom of the jersey features a continuous silicone bead which keeps the jersey in place while riding. The full length YKK Vislon zipper offers more performance in hot weather, as it is easy to zip and unzip with a simple one handed tug on the zipper pull. No wonder it's many Pros favorite choice for zipper duty. The zipper is attached to an elastic zipper sleeve for added comfort and control of the zipper action. Three simple rear pockets with an elastane top offers easy storage solutions.
