82 grams for a complete cycling jersey. Giordana's FR-C Pro Lyte achieves this figure by eliminating everything that doesn't contribute to heat management and aerodynamic performance. The zipperless front removes bulk and potential hot spots where a zipper pull would normally sit against the chest. The collarless neckline reduces material at a high-friction zone while improving airflow to the upper body. What remains is a moisture-wicking microfiber shell that functions as a second skin when temperatures climb into ranges that overwhelm conventional race jerseys.
The 88% polyester and 12% elastane fabric blend prioritizes rapid moisture transport and fast drying times over insulation. Set-in sleeves with straight-cut cuffs deliver an aerodynamic profile without the constriction that silicone grippers can create, while the 50+ UPF rating on the sleeves handles extended sun exposure during summer training blocks. A thermal-welded waistband with gripper elastic anchors the rear hem without adding seams or bulk, and the optimized pocket construction maintains stability even when loaded with nutrition and essentials.
Giordana developed the FR-C Pro Lyte alongside their WorldTour partnerships, applying professional feedback to the cut and construction. The fit contours close to the body in the riding position, eliminating fabric flutter at speed while maintaining freedom of movement through the shoulders and torso. This is purpose-built warm weather equipment for riders who measure performance in watts saved and grams shed. Italian manufacturing maintains the quality control that Giordana's racing heritage demands.
