As the name implies, Body Clone garments contour perfectly to the body, forming a “second skin” that makes every movement feel natural and comfortable. This is achieved through the use of innovative fabrics that have been carefully selected to perform specific functions that enhance performanzce, fit and comfort. It is also accomplished through the advent of new patterns designed both to follow the anatomic form of a cyclist while on the bike, and to fully utilize the inherent properties of the materials. The unique fit and exceptional performance of Body Clone garments create a new level of cycling apparel that is unrivaled. With Body Clone, Giordana provides a level of luxuriant performance like never before. D. Ametista + Antigua Gripper System FormaRed Carbon Bib Shorts (white/red) FormaRed Carbon Gloves (white) A. New Ametista Fabric B. Ametista + Antigua Gripper System A C. Ametista + Antigua Gripper System E. Cell phone/ipocket D C B E C D B FormaRed Carbon Jersey (red/black) FormaRed Carbon Bib Shorts (red/black) FormaRed Carbon Gloves (red) A E 6 FormaRed Carbon™ Jersey FormaRed Carbon Bib Shorts The new FR-Carbon garments for 2009 represent the latest in the award-winning Forma collection. The FR-C Jersey is the best Giordana has ever developed. A new ultra-light fabric called Asteria™ is used for the majority of the jersey, keeping the overall weight of the piece to a minimum. Incredibly soft, the fabric is 14% spandex and utilizes a honeycomb knit, allowing omni-directional stretch for optimal fit. Its properties of superior wicking and elasticity are woven into the fabric and will not lesson over time, so the jersey will continue to perform. A second fabric,Ametista™, lends the Carbon element to the FR-C name. Ametista has threads of carbon woven through it, allowing the material to be lighter, while maintaining its strength. The carbon reinforces for durability and also limits the stretch in key areas. Carbon has the added benefit of reducing electrical interference around internal organs. Used on the cuffs and at the waist, Ametista effectively negates the need for grippers, holding the jersey perfectly in place with a seamless feel. In these cases, Ametista is backed by Antigua™ fabric on the inside. This red material is perforated to create pockets of air next to the skin and to allow airflow to pass through. The result is a light, breathable gripper system that keeps the skin cool and dry underneath. A fourth fabric, MCK™, forms the Y shape of the back panel. MCK is chosen specifically for this location to limit the vertical stretch in the back and stabilize the pockets, preventing sag when they’re loaded. The shape of the panel eliminates puckers and creases by ergonomically following the body’s contours. A separate pattern piece wraps the collar to isolate the neck and head, preventing pulling and bunching in the riding position. The rest of the jersey is constructed of X-Fine, a fifth and final micro-mesh fabric that allows maximum breathability. The jersey is sewn with flat stitched seams. A full CamLock™ zip in front has flaps of fabric at the top and bottom to protect the materials from the zipper teeth. Three rear pockets with a fourth CamLock zippered compartment allow for storage. Reflective stripes along the sides of the center back pocket add visibility.While this garment is ideal for very hot weather, it can be worn over a base layer for adequate coverage in surprisingly cool weather as well. Sizes S-3XL Introducing the third generation bib short from the award winning Giordana Forma collection. The new FR-Carbon Bib Shorts are derived from the revolutionary FormaRed™ Bibs and are now easily the most advanced on the market. The signature red color on the inside of the leg bands and uppers is still there to identify this Alta Gamma collection. Also like the FormaRed, the FR-C Bibs are constructed of HC-44 fabric. But this model adds a new fabric that lends the carbon element to the garment. Ametista fabric has threads of carbon woven into it, which control the stretch of the fabric, reinforce the strength and add the benefit of repelling electronic interference from cell phone towers and power lines that can negatively affect performance. This new fabric is utilized on panels at the sides and onto the back of the shorts. The fabric appears pinstriped due to the threads of carbon. Ametista is also used in the bib uppers and at the cuffs. At these locations, it is backed by Antigua fabric, which has perforations that create air pockets against the skin and allow air to permeate. Newly shaped cut outs in the uppers eliminate excess fabric and ergonomically conform to the body on the bike. The uppers are lighter and more breathable as a result. No seams are used at all in the uppers, which lie completely flat and smooth against the body. Instead of stopping at the end of the straps, the Ametista continues down to wrap the internal organs around the waist. At the leg bands, the combination of the two fabrics enhances the benefit of traditional grippers, keeping the garment in place seamlessly. Reflective elements add visibility to the legs. An iPocket™ is incorporated into the bib at the back. Giordana believes that this location is superior to carrying a pda in a jersey pocket. This position allows more freedom of movement and secures the device close to the body for a more aerodynamic silhouette. Like all Body Clone level bibs and shorts, the FR-C Bibs feature the T-Select Gel OmniForm™ insert. It is formed using a high-frequency molding process that eliminates heat and thus, damage to the material, so there are no hard edges. A synthetic gel is inserted in the middle section to increase protection and reduce vibration. The pad contours to the body in motion and returns to its original shape every time. Sizes S-2XL CL BC F FormaRed Carbon Jersey COLOR STOCK White/Black GI-SSJY-FRCA-BLCK White/Red GI-SSJY-FRCA-REDD FormaRed Carbon Bib MSRP $250 $250 COLOR STOCK Black/Black GI-BIBS-FRCA-BKBK Black/Red GI-BIBS-FRCA-BKRD Red/Black GI-BIBS-FRCA-RDBK White/Black GI-BIBS-FRCA-WTBK MSRP $250 $250 $250 $250 BC FormaRed Carbon Gloves A new level glove from Giordana, the FR-C is designed for our top of the line Body Clone category. The same Ametista™ fabric used in the FR-C level bibs and shorts is utilized here on either side of the back of the hand. Ametista is lightweight, wicking and has an omni-directional stretch to perfectly conform to the shape of the hand. Down the middle of the back of the hand, MCK™ mesh is used for breathability. The incorporation of carbon fibers in both materials repels electrical interference and UV rays. The FR-C gloves have a soft terry thumb and durable Pittards leather with light padding on the palm for comfort. Slip-on fit, no straps or fasteners. Four sizes S-XL. FormaRed Carbon Glove COLOR Black Red White STOCK GI-GLOV-FRCA-BLCK GI-GLOV-FRCA-REDD GI-GLOV-FRCA-WHIT MSRP $50 $50 $50 8 FormaRed™ Bib Shorts Forma Summer Gloves The FormaRed™ Bib Short incorporates all the technical advantages of its predecessor and takes them to the next level. The bibs use a combination of two fabrics: HC44™ and Moxie ™. The 44 in HC44 refers to the number of threads per centimeter in the material. This ultra compact knit is lighter weight, yet offers the performance enhancing higher compression rates previously found only in heavier fabrics. Double layer moxie is used in the uppers which ceates a seamless design that feels like you have nothing on. Together, these two materials make the bib softer, dryer and more supple. You’ll know FormaRed by the signature red color on the inside of the bib uppers. The back of the bib features an open window that makes the garment lighter and maximizes ventilation. Dual layer Moxie™ leg cuffs negate the need for grippers so the shorts stay in perfect position while you feel nothing but comfort. The Italian colors around the Body Clone™ label ensure the best quality Italian craftsmanship is sewn into every garment. Reflective logos and a reflective strip aid with visibility on the road. The back of the bibs has an iPocket™ for your music player, mobile phone, or storage of other small items. The quad stitch construction creates flat seams that are more than just comfortable. The four parallel seams isolate the stretch of the material panels, thus enabling more control over the fit and performance of the garment. In isolating the stretch, the system of seams also isolates muscle groups and produces a massaging effect on the muscles, which delays muscle fatigue. Body Clone men’s bottoms feature the T-Select Gel OmniForm™ insert. Sizes S-2XL The Forma™ summer gloves are designed to complement our award-winning Forma level garments. On the back of the hand is a strip of MCK™ mesh for ventilation in the summer heat. It is flanked by two pieces of Moovix omni stretch material for optimum fit. The combination of these two materials and their placement create a streamlined silhouette that fits your hand without restricting movement. No straps or fasteners are used for the glove’s unique slip on fit. There is a soft terry cloth thumb and a durable Pittard’s leather palm for the cushioning and protection you need for long rides and races.

In addition, Nostatex® Pure Silver fabric is utilized for its many beneficial qualities. Because of the silver element, the fabric is anti-static, anti-stress and anti-bacterial. It provides and promotes temperature regulation, UV protection, circulation and durability. There is no elastic in the cuffs that can break down over time. Lycra is used instead for long-lasting performance, even after many washings. The socks are contoured to your foot and left/right specific for optimum fit. Offered for men in three cuff heights. Short Cuff Body Clone Socks 10 Ultimate Just below Body Clone™ is the Ultimate category. It was created for the uncompromising cyclists in mind those who expect nothing less than the very best in their equipment. The Ultimate category consists of two collections: Laser™ and Tenax™. Both are designed to optimize the cycling experience by providing unsurpassed performance and comfort. Giordana achieves this by utilizing the finest, most technical fabrics and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.

MCK-mesh Panel C C B A D D Laser Jersey (white/black) Tenax Bib Short (black/gray) Forma Summer Gloves (white) 12 Laser Short Sleeve Jersey Tenax Short Sleeve Jersey Made from Moovix™ and Aerostat™, a mesh-like material, the Laser jersey sports an entirely new look this season. The unique omni-directional stretch of Moovix fabric makes the jersey fit like a second skin. Large panels of Aerostat form a U shape in the front and a Y shape in the back, allowing airflow at key places to keep you cool and dry. There is a full CamLock™ zipper that is easily operated to help in regulating body temperature. Pockets of fabric at the top and bottom of the zip protect the jersey materials from the zipper teeth. Flat seam stitches throughout provide comfort and an aerodynamic advantage. In addition to reflective logos on the shoulders, long strips of reflectivity are incorporated into the front, down the spine and on the back pocket for safety. There are three rear pockets with a fourth zippered compartment. The Laser Jersey also incorporates a new collar feature. At the back of the neck there is a small triangle of double layer Moovix fabric that keeps the collar snug in a standing position, but comfortably expands on the bike to prevent any tug in front or buckling around the neck. A similar treatment is utilized at the back of the jersey waistband where double layer Moovix fabric expands and contracts ensuring an aerodynamic fit in all positions. Liquid Elastic™ grippers at the cuffs and along the front and sides of the waistband keep the jersey in place during activity. Sizes S-3XL The Tenax jersey is anatomically constructed to better adapt to the needs of a cyclist. It is designed and manufactured with fabrics chosen to help perspiration escape, leaving the skin dry, thus making the cyclist feel more comfortable. TVX3 material has a remarkable ability to move moisture away from the body, inhibiting the formation of odor causing bacteria. Mesh-like inserts of Aerostat fabric wrap from under the arms around down to the lower back where ventilation is needed most. The full CamLock™ zipper is easily operated to help in regulating body temperature and is edged in bright fluo material. Fluo piping is added in multiple places on the jersey for maximum visibility. Three rear cargo pockets provide ample storage. Light elastic at the cuffs and waist keep the jersey in place while on the bike.

It has the same nylon/Lycra honeycomb structure to provide uniform elasticity in all directions. This high level of elasticity micro-massages the cyclist’s muscles, postponing muscle fatigue. The special knit also promotes evaporation, preventing odors from forming. Both garments are anatomically constructed for optimal fit on the bike in the riding position. Flat stitched seams are used throughout for comfort and an aerodynamic silhouette. Silicon grippers at the cuffs hold the bottoms in place on the legs during activity. Reflective logos are utilized front and back for visibility and added safety. Laser bibs and shorts feature the T-Select O.F. ™ one piece insert. The bibs feature a wide mesh back panel between the shoulder straps for added ventilation and include a rear iPocket™ to hold personal electronic devices.

It starts with an upgrade to Michron fabric the same used for Giordana sponsored professional teams for maximum performance properties. The newly contoured pattern design features inserts of white mesh-like Aerostat fabric for added ventilation where it’s needed most. The collar and three rear pockets are backed in Aerostat to increase airflow at those locations. A full zip with pull-tab allows easy temperature regulation. Reflective elements front and back aid in visibility. Light elastic at the cuffs and waist prevents creeping during activity. Sizes S-3XL A long-time favorite, the Clear Rain Jacket provides effective and economical protection from wet weather. The semi-transparent PVC material allows your jersey underneath to be seen. The front closure is Velcro® for easy operation, and elastic at the wrists keeps water from entering. Mesh side panels allow for ventilation.

In fact, the bibs were recently named Bicycling Magazine’s Value of the Month,” as seen in the March 2008 issue. The Corsa bib and shorts are made completely of Moxie,™ a nylon/spandex material that provides a high rate of compression in 200gm weight. Both models feature the MC3-OF™ insert and are constructed with a classic 8-panel pattern. There are reflective elements on sides and in the back for visibility. Elastic leg grippers keep the bands in place. Sizes S-2XL Our Corsa level gloves perform best on warm weather rides, a soft lycra back allows for a hand conforming fit with ample ventilation. The terry thumb is a useful feature for managing sweat on a hot day, and the no stick vecro closure system helps contour the fit to any wrist. The RT level glove comes with a padded Amara palm, while the PT level glove comes with a durable pittards leather palm. Both are anatomically padded to protect the hand.

This is achieved through the use of innovative fabrics that have been carefully selected to perform specific functions that enhance performance, fit and comfort. It is also accomplished through the advent of new patterns designed both to follow the anatomic form of a cyclist while on the bike, and to exploit the inherent properties of the materials. The unique fit and exceptional performance of Body Clone garments create a new level of cycling apparel that is unrivaled. With Body Clone, Giordana provides a level of luxuriant performance like never before. FormaRed Carbon Jersey (pink) A B C FormaRed Carbon Short (black/pink) FormaRed Carbon Gloves (black) A.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Giordana will be offering a FR Carbon Pink Kit for 2009, a portion of all proceeds go to help the fight against breast cancer. Women’s FormaRed Carbon Jersey The new FR-Carbon garments for 2009 represent the latest in the award-winning Forma collection. The Women’s FR-C Jersey is the best Giordana has ever developed, this garment sits at the top of our women’s Alta Gamma garments. A new ultra-light fabric called Asteria is used for the majority of the jersey, keeping the overall weight of the piece to a minimum. Incredibly soft, the fabric is 14% spandex and utilizes a honeycomb knit, allowing omni-directional stretch for optimal fit. Its properties of superior wicking and elasticity are woven into the fabric and will not lesson over time, so the jersey will continue to perform. A second fabric, Ametista, lends the Carbon element to the FR-C name. Ametista has threads of carbon woven through it, allowing the material to be lighter, while maintaining its strength.The carbon reinforces for durability and also limits the stretch in key areas. Carbon has the added benefit of reducing electrical interference around internal organs. Used on the cuffs and at the waist, Ametista effectively negates the need for grippers, holding the jersey perfectly in place with a seamless feel. In these cases, Ametista is backed by Antigua fabric on the inside. Antigua is perforated to create pockets of air next to the skin and to allow airflow to pass through. The result is a light, breathable gripper system that keeps the skin cool and dry underneath. A fourth fabric, MCK, forms the Y shape of the back panel. MCK is chosen specifically for this location to limit the vertical stretch in the back and stabilize the pockets, preventing sag when they’re loaded. The shape of the panel eliminates puckers and creases by ergonomically following the body’s contours. A separate pattern piece wraps the collar to isolate the neck and head, preventing pulling and bunching in the riding position.The back of the jersey is constructed of X-Fine, a fifth and final micro-mesh fabric that allows maximum breathability. A full CamLock™ zip in front has flaps of fabric at the top and bottom to protect the materials from the zipper teeth. Three back pockets are finished in piping that corresponds to the accent flat stitching. There is a fourth zippered compartment for valuables. Reflective elements on the center back pocket increase visibility.While this garment is ideal for very hot weather, it can be worn over a base layer for adequate coverage in surprisingly cool weather as well. In support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Giordana offers this jersey in a White with Pink colorway. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to help the fight against cancer. Sizes XS-XL CL BC F FormaRed Carbon Jersey COLOR STOCK MSRP White/Red GI-WSSJ-FRCA-REDD $195 White/Black/Pink GI-WSSJ-FRCA-BKPK $195 FormaRed Carbon Gloves A new level glove from Giordana, the FR-C is designed for our top of the line Body Clone category. The same Ametista™ fabric used in the FR-C level bibs and shorts is utilized here on either side of the hand. Ametista is lightweight, wicking and has an omni-directional stretch to perfectly conform to the shape of the hand. Down the middle of the back of the hand, MCK™ mesh is used for breathability. The incorporation of carbon fibers in both materials repels electrical interference and UV rays. The FR-C gloves have a soft terry thumb and durable Pittards leather with light padding on the palm for comfort. Slip-on fit, no straps or fasteners. Four sizes S-XL. FormaRed Carbon Glove COLOR STOCK MSRP Black GI-GLOV-FRCA-BLCK $50 White GI-GLOV-FRCA-WHIT $50 Women’s FormaRed Carbon Bib and Short Introducing the next generation bib and short from the award winning Giordana Forma collection. The new FR-C garments are derived from the revolutionary FormaRed™ collection and are now easily the most advanced women’s shorts on the market. The signature red color on the inside of the cuffs and uppers is still there to identify this Alta Gamma collection. Also like the FormaRed, the FR-C bottoms are constructed of HC-44 fabric. But in addition there’s a new fabric that lends the carbon element to the garment. Ametista has threads of carbon woven into it, which control the stretch of the fabric, reinforce the strength and add the benefit of repelling electronic interference from cell phone towers and power lines that can negatively affect performance.This new fabric is utilized on the bib uppers, the waistband of the shorts and at the leg hems. It is backed by another material called Antigua, which has perforations that create air pockets against the skin and allow air to permeate. Newly shaped cut outs in the uppers eliminate excess fabric and ergonomically conform to the unique shape of the female form on the bike. The uppers are lighter and more breathable as a result. No seams are used at all in the uppers, which lie completely flat and smooth against the body. Instead of connecting in the middle where material can be hot and cumbersome on a ride, the bib straps have been contoured to lie towards the outside of the chest comfortably out of the way. An iPocket™ is incorporated into the bib at the back. Giordana believes that this location is superior to carrying a pda in a jersey pocket. This position allows more freedom of movement and secures the device close to the body for a more aerodynamic silhouette. Ametista continues down past the end of the straps to wrap the internal organs around the waist, protecting organs from electrical interference. At the leg hems, the combination of the two fabrics enhances the benefit of traditional grippers, keeping the garment in place seamlessly. The light, breathable gripper system keeps the skin cool and dry underneath. A wide Ametista waist fits snugly on the shorts without any of the pressure points or squeezing of traditional bands. The resulting silhouette is sleeker and more aerodynamic on the bike. Other benefits of both the bibs and shorts include flat stitched seams and reflective elements for visibility. A brand new OmniForm™ insert has been developed this year specifically for the Womern’s FR-C line, a women’s version of the T-Select Gel entitled the Alta O.F. insert. In support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Giordana offers the FR-C bibs and shorts in a Black with Pink colorway. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to help the fight against cancer.

In addition, Nostatex® Pure Silver fabric is utilized for its many beneficial qualities. Because of the silver element, the fabric is anti-static, anti-stress and anti-bacterial. It provides and promotes temperature regulation, UV protection, circulation and durability. There is no elastic in the cuffs that can break down over time. Lycra is used instead for long-lasting performance, even after many washings. The socks are contoured to your foot and left/right specific for optimum fit. Offered for men in three cuff heights.

It has been designed for Giordana’s most prestigious apparel lines. All components have been fully researched to ensure the highest quality. The thickness of the Elite Gel varies and is designed to comfortably contour the anatomy and provide protection where needed most. A special synthetic gel is inserted in the middle section to increase protection and eliminate vibrations between the saddle and body.The external micro fiber polyester fabric is applied to the insert using Giordana’s unique OmniForm technology, a special high-frequency molding process that softens the pad without having to use the more traditional high-temperature molding techniques. The Elite Gel insert is elastic and contours body movements when riding, then returns to its original shape. The advanced technology and details make the Elite Gel the ideal pad for demanding athletes who always require maximum quality. The T SELECT insert uses the same OmniForm™ technology as the Elite Gel, two pieces sewn together with the top section formed via the HF (High Frequency) process. The T Select stretches to conform to the body just as the Elite Gel does, but provides slightly firmer support due to the fact that the lower layer is a closed cell foam pad rather than gel.The T Select insert is elastic and contours body movements when riding, yet returns to its original shape afterward. The MC3 pad is a one piece, seamless insert that is both lightweight and flexible. Made of polyester micro fiber, it is designed to adapt to the contours of the body in motion, permitting natural movement. The MC3 is molded with Giordana’s high-frequency OmniForm™ technology that eliminates the sharp edges and hard areas caused by the high temperature used in normal molding processes. It is constructed with differentiated thickness to provide more protection where needed while guaranteeing softness and comfort. WMC3 is the women’s specific version of our MC3 insert. It is specially designed for use in our women’s shorts. The pad is a result of a study focused on female body movements when pedaling, taking into account a woman’s different protection needs. The WMC3 is also molded using Giordana’s high-frequency OmniForm™ processing technique to obtain a soft and extremely flexible insert. The pad is a single, seamless component with differentiated thickness to contour to the body and allow full freedom of movement. The advent of the WMC3 makes shorts of the highest quality, comfort and performance available to women. A completely new level in comfort and protection for ladies, the Alta gel OmniForm™ insert was designed exclusively for Giordana’s top of the line FR-Carbon™ shorts and bibs. Aptly named, the chamois represents the highest level of technology available in women’s specific chamois.The streamlined silhouette is narrower to better contour to the female form on the bike. As a result, the Alta Gel is considerably less bulky, yet retains the protective qualities essential at this level. It incorporates gel pockets where the sit bones contact the saddle to cushion and reduce vibration at key points.The insert is elastic and conforms to the body in motion, but returns every time to its original shape after activity. MS-Mini™ The MS Mini is a one piece seamless multi-sport insert that provides lightweight non-restrictive comfort. The thin foam pad moves easily and won’t become heavy if it’s worn in water, making it ideal for use in Triathlon garments. Because it’s invisible, the MS Mini is a perfect insert for indoor cycling garments as well. With its smooth Lycra® inner surface, the MS Mini is hardly noticeable as it works to provide optimal comfort. FABRICS Ametista™ Ametista is 36% Power Lycra® constructed using a honeycomb knit that allows the fabric to stretch in all directions instead of the traditional four. In addition to superior elasticity, the material has excellent moisture moving and temperature regulation capabilities. Ametista has the unique added benefit of carbon fibers woven through the material, which produce a striped appearance. The carbon element controls the stretch in the fabric, enabling muscle isolation to delay the onset of fatigue. It also reinforces the material strength so that the fabric can be lighter while still stronger. Lastly, the carbon repels electronic interference from cell phone towers and power lines that can interfere with performance on the bike. 200 g/m2 weight. Chrono A nylon/Lyrca fabric found in bibs and shorts on the sides and lower legs where support is needed most. Chrono has less stretch and a higher compression rate to increase support and blood supply to working muscles. Antigua™ This is the signature red backing used on the revolutionary FR-Carbon garments. Antigua is paired with Ametista on the inside against the skin to act in place of grippers and on bib straps make the fabric lighter in weight. It is a perforated material that creates pockets of air that promote airflow and keep the skin cool and dry. HC44 A lightweight nylon and Lycra made with extremely fine thread used in Forma™ bib shorts and knickers. HC refers to the fabric’s high compression rate, while 44 designates the number of threads per centimeter in the knitting process. Until now the highest thread count for nylon/Lycra materials was 36 TPC. This ultra compact knit translates into performance and comfort advantages in garments made with HC44. It is lighter (180 gm), yet offers the performance enhancing higher compression rates previously found only in heavier fabrics.With its high TPC count the material is softer and more supple than other nylon/Lycra fabrics. HC44’s light weight also increases its wicking capability. Asteria™ Our new top-of-the-line jersey fabric is incredibly light and soft. The material is 86% polyester microfiber and utilizes a compact weave of 40 threads per centimeter, which provides microcompression and better coverage. This fine knit incorporates 14% spandex for elasticity as and has excellent wicking capabilities. 140 g/m2 weight. Nylo™ Nylo does the work of other performance fabrics, but with a softer hand. It is used in the women’s Shape and Silverline collections because of its silky smooth hand and vibrant colors. The material provides ample stretch to comfortably conform to a wide variety of body shapes and sizes. Aerostat™ A new fabric from Giordana for summer 2007, Aerostat™ is a quick-drying mesh material that allows for maximum breathability.Aerostat is utilized in the men’s RaceTech™ line as well as for the women’s Fusion garments. Dri-Release™ A microblend performance fabric with unparalleled moisture transferring qualities that direct perspiration away from the skin quickly. Dri-Release™ dries four times faster than cotton, but retains a soft feel for comfort. So durable that garments made with Dri-release resist pilling and won’t shrink or lose their shape. Treated with Freshguard® odor control to neutralize odor safely and keep you fresh. Used in base layers. Hercules A circular knit nylon and Lycra fabric used for shorts and bib shorts within the Tenax™ collection. Hercules is a strong 210 grams and is a certified Lycra power fabric. Giordana garments using Hercules are cut and sewn with the high power of Hercules positioned perpendicular to muscle groups. This provides optimum muscle compression, which maximizes the performance enhancing effects of Lycra power garments. InVent combines excellent resistance to wind with very lightweight material. Its microfilament yarns keep wind and water out, while remaining permeable to perspiration. Malaga Malaga is a premium grade nylon/spandex blend for shorts that is soft on the skin and supple to wear. It has excellent elasticity for freedom of movement without bunching or creasing.The 190 gm weight fabric used in Giordana® shorts is very durable under tough use, but never feels stiff like lesser spandex fabrics. MCK™ Michron Carbon Knit is Giordana’s newest material for use in technical jerseys. It is knit with a special micro-fiber yarn composed of a continuous filament of conductive material with an active carbon and polyester base. MCK™ has numerous beneficial characteristics. First and foremost is an anti-static, dissipative effect that protects against electrical interference.At times the human body scarcely feels the effects of these natural phenomena, while at other times it is obvious. Both electrostatic discharge (ESD) and discharge from electric over stress (EOS) have considerable effect on wellbeing. In fact, electrical charges that settle on the body cause numerous complications that may be magnified during exercise, such as overheating, negative reactions on muscle contraction and inhibition of blood flow. Due to its excellent anti-static properties MCK improves electrical efficiency, enhancing circulation and improved oxygen supply to muscle cells. Its superior conductivity increases the evaporation rate, which speeds the process of moving moisture away from the skin enhancing the sensation of wellbeing. The benefits of MCK are engineered into the yarn of the fabric prior to knitting, not added as a treatment. Michron The latest in fiber and knitting technologies have yielded Giordana’s best performance jersey fabric ever. 100% polyester micro fiber yarns move moisture off the skin more rapidly than ever before.The unique miniature honeycomb textured knit allows airflow to keep you cool. Michron is a performance fabric breakthrough. MiniQuadro Used in jerseys, MiniQuadro is a 100% polyester fabric that is knit such that moisture is pulled through the garment from the inside out. Soft to the touch, MiniQuadro is lightweight and provides exceptional ventilation. Moovix A lightweight hollow micro-fiber material utilized for jerseys and shorts within the TenaxTM collection. The unique honeycomb structure, which incorporates nylon and Dupont Lycra, enables Moovix to stretch equally in all directions, not just the two or four way stretch of standard spandex materials. Its high stretch and compression rates also produce a micro-massaging effect on the skin, delaying muscle fatigue. Due to its high opacity, Moovix effectively protects against UVA and UVB rays. Its high moisture moving capability further augments the comfort that Moovix garments provide. An antibacterial treatment inhibits the growth of odor causing bacteria. Moxie Moxie fabric is treated to promote fast wicking and evaporation of moisture.This treatment means that perspiration will not be trapped next to the skin, so riders will feel cooler and drier. Moxie nylon/spandex fabric is offered in 200gm weight, and is used in RaceTech™ bibs and shorts. Fits like a nylon/spandex blend. Supplex® From DuPont, this nylon and Lycra-spandex blend combines cottony-soft comfort with the gentle support, superb fit and freedom of movement that only spandex can provide. It is a practical fusion of softness and stretch. TVX3 A new material specifically designed for cycling jerseys. Its name derives from the fact that it’s the third generation of TVX and that it has three distinct beneficial qualities. New TVX-3 has moisture-moving capability that is now enhanced via micro-ducts on the surface of the fiber. This increases the rate of transfer to the outer layer of the jersey where moisture can evaporate quickly, keeping the wearer dryer. TVX-3 also has a permanent antibacterial treatment that retards the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria, thus extending the life of garments. The third component of new TVX-3 is that has been redesigned to offer more protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. X-Fine A new micro-mesh utilized in the FR-Carbon garments.
