Santini 2014 Summer Heat Sink System Jersey

Santini knows that some of the best races of the year occur in the searing heat of summer and, as such, it has placed an emphasis on developing fabrics and designs that work to keep riders cool. The Heat Sink Sys Jersey balances a form fit with effective cooling.

The front panels of the Heat Sink Sys jersey were constructed from lightweight Carezza fabric. This is a very lightweight fabric that not only conforms to your body, it also wicks moisture away from your skin to keep you cool and dry. Working in conjunction with this Carezza fabric is the "Heat Sink" technology placed in the upper back of the jersey. This is a ventilated insert that has been placed over a layer of highly elastic mesh. This "sink" pulls excess moisture to the exterior of the jersey so that it quickly evaporates. It was developed so that it works effectively with airflow while riding. The design of the elastic allows freedom of movement in the shoulders, especially while bent over in the drops.

The form-fit jersey features a full-length zipper, which makes on-the-fly ventilation adjustments a simple affair. Lycra gripper bands at the arm hems hold the sleeves in place, as does a band at the waist. Three back pockets hold all of your cycling essentials, and reflective inserts increase your low-light visibility.
