Giordana Cycling Apparel Information

Giordana cycling apparel sets a standard for the garment industry that is difficult to match. Each aspect of manufacturing, from the cutting of patterns, selecting of fabrics, and stitching of the chamois, is completed at Giordana’s headquarters in Bonferraro, Italy. In-house control of the entire cycling apparel-making process allows for keen attention to detail, ease of innovation, and impeccable quality within their cycling clothing line.

Giordana cycling jerseys come in long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless, and tank top styles. From the top of the line on down, all of their jerseys are constructed of wicking fabrics and feature two or three back pockets, full length zippers, raglan sleeves, and elastic gripper hems. The short sleeve jerseys that come in a form-fitting race cut are designed for road cycling, and match perfectly with Giordana bib shorts or cycling shorts. More generously fitting Giordana jerseys combine with any number of cycling bottoms and typically appeal to the more casual rider. Long sleeve Giordana jerseys have insulated thermal fabric to keep you warm in winter, and also come in several fit styles. The Giordana women’s clothing line includes tank tops and biking shirts that are made of quick-drying fabrics and have back pockets, but look casual enough to wear around town or to the gym.

Giordana cycling shorts, bibs, knickers, and tights are form-fitting, which prevents excess fabric from rubbing against your skin as you pedal. Most of the bottoms come in black, but some have splices of color to match the jerseys in the line. The highest-end Giordana bibs and shorts are constructed of silky fabrics that feel weightless next to the skin, and they feature a chamois insert that provides excellent protection with minimal volume. The leg grippers, hems, and bib straps in these shorts are laser-cut to reduce bulk and eliminate seams. More modestly priced Giordana bike shorts use a durable lycra material that is well-suited for everyday riding. These biking shorts have a flat waistband and silicone leg grippers, and the bibs shorts have a breathable, stretchy mesh bib upper. Giordana knickers are available for summer and winter, and some women’s knickers have a light chamois that is intended to be spin class apparel. In winter, Giordana tights, which are available with or without a chamois, keep your legs warm and cozy with thermal fabric.

All Giordana jackets have a close fit that is designed primarily for road cycling. The back of the jackets are a little longer, the front is a bit shorter, and the sleeves are long enough to cover your arms as you reach for the handlebars. Windproof Giordana jackets use a combination of wind-resistant panels and stretchy, breathable fabric to provide just the right amount of protection and freedom of movement. The warmest thermal jackets have a windproof membrane backed by an insulated interior that traps heat next to your skin and wicks moisture. Wind jackets are water resistant, but in a rain storm, you are better off using a Giordana rain jacket, which has a micro-porous membrane that allows sweat to escape while preventing water from entering.

Any Giordana kit can be completed with matching arm warmers, leg warmers, knee warmers, summer and winter cycling gloves, socks, shoe covers, and cycling caps. Since 1986, Giordana has been one of the top brands for the latest in bike clothing technology and 100% Italian-made style.
