Cycling Plus (UK) - Jul 10
The Presto combines ShockWave Lycra and a mesh back to produce a comfortable sports bra that's both supportive and breathable. At around 18 pounds, it's great value too.
8/10 stars.
Summer fabric combining the functionality of synthetic fibres with the familiar look and feel of cotton. A bi-component knit couples an inner layer of polyester with a textured cotton outer to help manage hot-headed moments. The polyester wicks sweat away from your body while the cotton draws it to the outside, ensuring super-efficient evaporation to keep you cool. Developed by Ground Effect and knitted for us in New Zealand.
- Composition: 33% Polyester; 67% Cotton
UPF 50+
Intercool's UPF 50+ rating extends your no-burn time by 50 times over bare skin. Designs with a stand-up collar and long sleeves maximise protection from the sun's UV rays. Yank 'em up if it gets too stifling.
Relaxed Fit
Intercool™ tops enjoy a looser fit with no-elastic hems... a good look both on and off the bike when matched with baggy shorts. Plus fresh air can blow up ya kilt so you don't lose your cool.
ShockWave™ Lycra
The core fabric of our summer shorts… 4-way stretch nylon with a non-shiny finish. It's soft against your skin, yet is incredibly tough and dries quickly. Blended with 16% lycra to deliver body-hugging performance and durability. Knitted right here in New Zealand.
> Composition: 84% nylon; 16% lycra

As unisex items tend to be larger than our women's designs selected products are also available in XS (approximately women's small) to provide a more complete range.
Wear under your favourite top or fly solo in search of the penultimate tan. 4-way stretch nylon lycra provides secure support while Intercool lining removes perspiration. This ain't no skimpy number - so can be worn alone or in combination with a sports' bra.

> Made by us in New Zealand.
> Intercool and HyperActive tops enjoy a warm machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach. The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation. And bleach rots natural fibres like cotton, strips the dye and may also cause irritation. As a rule of thumb, product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Plant based soaps like 'Ecover' or specific sport wash formula are recommended.
> Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
> Intercool and HyperActive tops will be almost dry out after the spin cycle of your washing machine so using a dryer is unnecessary - if you must then choose a warm (not hot) cycle.
