Louis Garneau

Carbon Ion Short Sleeve Jersey

Every cycling company out there claims its gear is the lightest. The folks at Louis Garneau have the number to back up their claim: 126. As in grams. The Carbon Ion 2 Jersey is one of the lightest jerseys available. And when it comes to all-day, midsummer rides, every gram counts.

We couldn’t believe the light weight of the Carbon Ion fabric (95% polyester, 5% Resistex carbon fiber). We were also impressed with Carbon Ion’s breathability and remarkable moisture-wicking capability. Complementing the Carbon Ion are panels of Carbon Superleggera (75% Coolmax FX fiber, 25% Politex Carbon Resistex). Superlegerra’s lightweight knit provides excellent airflow to keep you cool and comfortable. An antibacterial treatment helps fight odor.

The full-length zipper lets you dump heat in a hurry, and three angled back pockets give you quick, easy access to your supplements. The elastic hem gripper keeps the Carbon Ion from riding up your back as you crank, and reflective elements make you more visible. Garneau’s Pro Fit provides excellent aerodynamics and muscle support to reduce vibration.

The Louis Garneau Carbon Ion Jersey 2 comes in Black, White, and Red. It is available in sizes X-Small to XXX-Large.
