Loaded pockets that sag and pull are a common frustration with race-fit jerseys. Giordana addresses this on the re-engineered FR-C Pro Jersey by weaving carbon threads throughout the back panel, creating a stabilized structure that holds its shape even when you've stuffed in a phone, food, and a spare tube. The fabric maintains tension across the pocket openings rather than stretching out and bouncing with every road vibration, which makes a noticeable difference on long rides where you're carrying supplies for several hours.
The 2025 redesign introduces new microfiber fabrics front and back. Up front, a double-sided diamond pattern textile maximizes airflow and moisture transfer when temperatures climb. Set-in sleeves terminate in laser-cut, seamless cuffs that eliminate bulk at the arm opening for a clean finish against your skin. The zipper system has been reworked to prevent the wavy distortion that develops on some jerseys after repeated use, and color coordination keeps the closure from standing out against the fabric. A thermal-welded front waistband lies flat when you're in the riding position, while gripper elastic at the rear keeps everything anchored without digging in.
Storage includes 3 rear cargo pockets plus a zippered fourth pocket on the right side for valuables like keys or cards that you don't want shifting around. The low-profile collar stays out of your way without feeling unfinished. At 125 grams in a size medium, the FR-C Pro Jersey keeps weight minimal while delivering UPF 15 sun protection for exposed arms and shoulders. Italian manufacturing and Giordana's FR-C Pro fit deliver the close, second-skin feel that WorldTour teams have relied on for years, moving with your body rather than restricting it through the full range of riding positions.
