Girl Gear :: Pactimo Ascent Jersey

.
Pactimo is all about gear that is comfortable and looks great. The Women’s Ascent Short Sleeve Jersey is no exception. Designed with a women’s shape in mind, this jersey stands out as a great option for custom kit orders. Several features make the jersey’s comfort top notch.  With a proper looking, comfortable collar, lined with seam tape, I’m happy to report there is no irritation on the neck. With what I would call a semi-pro fit, the jersey hung nicely [...]

This past weekend, after several weeks nursing a fractured elbow, I got to give them a try with a few long rides in some unseasonably warm Midwest fall weather. As soon as I put them on, I noticed the exceptional fit and [...]

Girl Gear: Club Ride Bandara Jersey

.
When asked by Girl Bike Love to check out a new cycling jersey, I was excited, but did not set high expectations. As a tall woman, finding clothes to wear when I’m not riding is difficult enough. Finding cycling apparel that fits well, is comfortable, suites my style, won’t fall apart and isn’t from the men’s side of the bike shop is next to impossible. When I first opened the package my initial thought was…ok, this is different. The Club [...]
