New Italy Collection: Your Ideal Cycling Jersey for High Temperatures

New Italy Collection: Your Ideal Cycling Jersey for High Temperatures

Summer is the time every cycling enthusiast looks forward to. Long days, stable weather, and the ability to ride "centuries" without worrying about rain or piercing winds. However, summer bliss has its dark side: the heat. When the asphalt starts to "melt" and the thermometer shows well above 30°C, overheating becomes your biggest enemy. That's why we created the Italy collection at Quest.

Whether your goal is a women's cycling jersey that combines style with technology, or a men's cycling jersey designed for breaking records on climbs – the Italy line is the answer to the most extreme conditions.

Anatomy of the Italy Collection: Technology hidden in the details

When designing models such as Italy Bari or Italy Roma, we focused on three pillars: weight, breathability, and aerodynamics.

1. Honeycomb structure fabric

Just looking at the texture of the Italy series jerseys reveals that we are dealing with a premium product. The fine mesh-like material increases the evaporation surface. What does this mean in practice? Even during a strenuous climb up a steep hill, where speed is low and airflow is limited, the jersey "works" to keep you cool.

2. A cut that becomes a second skin

Both the women's cycling jersey and the men's version feature an Aero-Fit cut. In cycling, every watt of energy is worth its weight in gold. Loose material flapping in the wind creates unnecessary drag. Our jerseys perfectly conform to the body, which not only improves aerodynamics but, above all, ensures that the technical material is in direct contact with the skin to effectively wick away sweat.

3. Lightness you don't feel

When you're fighting gravity on a mountain pass, every gram matters. The Italy collection has been stripped down to a minimum. We've removed unnecessary seams and used ultra-light YKK zippers so you can forget you're wearing anything but your passion for the sport.

Discover the colors of Italy: Bari, Lucca, Pisa, and Roma

The Italy collection features four distinctive proposals, each with its unique character. While technologically identical, their color schemes cater to different aesthetic and practical needs.

Italy Bari (White) – Queen of the sun

The Quest Italy Bari men's cycling jersey in pure white is the most common choice for extreme heat. Why? Physics is relentless – white reflects the most sunlight, preventing the material from heating up. It's a classic elegance that suits any bike and any shorts. If you're planning an all-day ride in full sun, Bari will be your best ally.

Italy Lucca (Green) – Freshness and nature

The muted, sage green of the Lucca model is a proposition for those who want to stand out from the crowd of neon colors. It's a color of peace and harmony that perfectly complements forest trails or gravel adventures. A cycling jersey in this shade looks incredibly modern and professional.

Italy Pisa (Red) – Pure energy

Red is the color of speed. The Pisa model was created for cyclists who love competition and want to be visible on the road. The intense, brick red shade adds confidence during sprints and makes you more visible to drivers, which directly translates into your safety.

Italy Roma (Black) – Classic elegance

A black cycling jersey is a symbol of style that cannot be faked. Although it's commonly believed that black "attracts the sun," thanks to the ultra-thin material of the Italy collection, the Roma model will cope even on warm days. It's an ideal choice for evening training sessions or for cyclists who appreciate a minimalist, "pro-look."

Women's cycling jersey vs. Men's cycling jersey – What's the difference?

At Quest, we know that the anatomy of women and men requires a different approach to garment construction. Although the design of the Italy collection is consistent, a women's cycling jersey is not simply a smaller size of the men's model.

• Waist shaping: Women's jerseys are more distinctly cinched at the waist, which prevents the material from bunching up on the abdomen in a bent position.

• Shoulder width: Women typically have narrower shoulders, so the women's cut has been adjusted to ensure the sleeves fit snugly around the arm without creating "rolls" of fabric.

• Torso length: The jersey must be short enough in the front not to roll up under the chest, and long enough in the back to cover the lower back even when using an aggressive drop bar grip.

Our jerseys are proof that cycling apparel can be both functional and enhance an athletic physique, regardless of gender.
