HyperActive have been the go-to summer riding tops for Ditte and I over the past three years. Short blasts, big days or weekend epics, they dry fast and stay cool. The new nano-charcoal Rock Lobster and womens Tip Top turned up for testing towards the end of last summer. We both instantly loved the fresh look. The new fabric is silky smooth against the skin and seems to dry faster than the previous version. I reckon it's tougher too, suffering less when mixing it up with the undergrowth. The nano-charcoal is perhaps a bit less pongy on mulit-day trips, but I still wash after each ride when in town.
For cool Sydney mornings the Rock Lobster is ideal. Now all I need is a Ground Effect garment to wear underneath the Rock Lobster. Perhaps a singlet or T-shirt styled garment of similar material?
The first wore a bit thin after about 8 years, so now have a new one, well made, fits well, and a perfect layer for the cold weather
2nd Rock lobster, love the new material & gold colour. Very comfortable. Rusted on ground effect patron! Now have 4 tops & underdogs. Cheers Ron
A typically well made piece of Kiwi kit,which does an admirable job of keeping the UV's at bay. That said, the high neck collar and long sleeves are better suited to more moderate climes as the Brisbane summer is a little too intense for this jersey. It's best use is during spring and autumn.
