At its core is **THERMAL TECHNOLOGY** with a soft **X-FLEECE** inner lining that retains heat while actively wicking moisture to the outside. Thanks to **multi-directional stretch**, the jersey fits close to the body and lets air flow cleanly across the surface, reducing the sensation of cold. A full-length **reflective band** across the back boosts your visibility at dusk, and the design works equally well on its own or as a **midlayer** under a gilet or membrane jacket. - **THERMAL TECHNOLOGY** with **X-FLEECE** inner lining for thermal performance and fast moisture management. - **Multi-directional stretch** and a close-fitting, aerodynamic cut for smooth airflow. - Full-length **YKK Automatic Lock** zip with a **windproof inner flap** for draft-free descents. - Three rear pockets and a full-width **reflective band** across the back for storage and visibility. - Recommended temperature range depending on layering: approximately **6–18 °C**, ideal for cool mornings and unpredictable transition days. ## Technical Details and Features The brushed **X-FLEECE** inner surface traps heat close to the body while the fabric draws sweat outward through micro-capillaries, so you stay warmer during stops and descents. The full-length **YKK** zip with **Auto-Lock** and an integrated wind baffle lets you fine-tune ventilation precisely and holds its position once set — especially handy during intervals. On the back, three pockets keep your essentials organised, and the **reflective application** running the full width of the back improves your visibility in low-light conditions. The jersey is deliberately designed to work as a standalone layer or as part of a **layering system** with a gilet or membrane jacket, without compromising breathability. ## Riding Conditions and Benefits Whether you're on a base-miles ride in the Mittelland, commuting early in the morning, or tackling long climbs with cold descents — the Ascender covers a wide range of winter riding. The combination of **thermal performance**, **breathability**, and a close fit reduces wind flutter and keeps your core temperature stable, even as your pace varies. In transitional weather, wear it solo over a **base layer**; when the Bise picks up or light rain sets in, pair it with a lightweight **membrane gilet** or jacket. That keeps your setup flexible without risking unnecessary bulk or heat build-up — something that really pays off on rolling Swiss routes. Optional: Fit and Layering Notes The jersey has an **anatomic, close fit** optimised for aggressive positions on a **road bike**, keeping the fabric wrinkle-free and improving heat retention. On colder days with a thicker **base layer**, sizing up by half a size to a full size can make sense if you prefer a less compressive feel. In the 6–12 °C range, pairing it with a **wind gilet** is the go-to; closer to freezing, add a **membrane jacket** as your outer layer. That way you get the most out of the **THERMAL TECHNOLOGY** without sacrificing freedom of movement or breathability. ## Variants - MCJ81633XL8239: in stock - MCJ81633L8239: in stock - MCJ81633M8239: in stock - MCJ81633S8239: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/long-sleeve-jerseys-666/ascender-tea-leaf-mens-thermal-cycling-jersey-1204
