One of the brands specialising in producing quality bike kit for sensible prices, Altura have their own jersey for when the weather heats up in the Podium.

Both underarm sections of the jersey are made from a four-way open mesh, and stretch halfway down the sides to provide some extra ventilation and breathability. Similarly, the whole jersey is made from an Interlock fabric, designed to be ‘ultra high’ wicking and keep you cool and dry.

More mesh can be found inside the back pockets, where the entire interior construction is made from the same fabric as the underarms, and the section beneath the pockets but above the hem is made from mesh as well.

The black version of the Podium has an additional cooling touch: coldblack fabric. Coldblack is designed to reduce heat build up in darker colours, as well as provide UV protection – an important factor when you’re out for long rides in the sun.
