Enduro-verve coupled with hot-weather performance for clocking laps at the bike park or sweating out a liaison stage. HyperActive fabric dries fast and the nano-charcoal layer against your skin keeps you sweet.

+Features
  • UPF 50+ HyperActive fabric.
  • Weight: 130 gm.
  • Designed & made by us in Aotearoa | New Zealand.
+Tech

+HyperActive™
A lightweight summer fabric packed with technology to keep you cool and dry as. The bi-component knit backs a sharp-looking polyester outer with a smooth layer of nano-charcoal polyester against your skin. Nano-charcoal disperses sweat to accelerate evaporation and is naturally anti-microbial to fight nasty smells. The fabric dries at the speed of light - great when reduced to hand washing on tour - and even performs its quick-drying magic in the wet under a rain jacket.
  • Composition: 75% polyester; 25% nano-charcoal polyester.
  • Weight: 139 gsm.
+UPF 50
HyperActive'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.

+More than Kiwi Made
Ground Effect clothing is crafted right here in Aotearoa | New Zealand. Has been ever since we started back in 1994. Manufacturing locally works for us. We operate a quick-response system - holding minimal stock of any one item, but churning out a few more quick-smart when the pile gets low.

+Washing

  • All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash.
    • As a rule of thumb, a laundry product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like  Ecostore,Earthwise orAware.
    • Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
    • Avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach, 'oxygen whitener' or fabric softener.
      • The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation.
      • Bleach rots natural fibres like merino, strips the dye, attacks laminates of waterproof fabrics and can also cause skin irritation.
      • Sodium Percarbonate (the main ingredient in oxygen whitener) can make colours run.
      • Fabric softener and wool wash destroy the water repellent finish on waterproof fabrics, and can also cause colours to run.
    • Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast, so hanging on the line or draped over the bedpost is generally the best option.
      • High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin in the dryer, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot.
      • A dryer is recommended for your rain jacket or pants, as it helps recharge the water repellant treatment on the outside of the fabric.

    + Shipping
    • Items are generally packed and sent the same day your order is received.

    • NZ$12 by tracked airmail to Australia.

        Super colour and fit

        So glad that I treated myself to two of these shorts as they fit perfectly and look great. I love the green colour.

        Mine is going strong after 5 years

        Love my jellybean too, it’s purple and black, and I’d buy another as it’s worn awesomely and not for stinky over time as poly tops normally do. But don’t like any of the women’s colours the past few years..

        Fantastic fit and style

        I made the mistake when buying other brands of ordering the size I normally wear, and having to return it. My Jellybean top is true to size, doesn’t ride up and looks great on. It’s very high quality and well made. Will definitely be buying more from Ground Effect

        Absolutely Fabulous!!

        I purchased a few new gears after a recommendation from bikeclinic. I was after some bike shorts for an adventure in Nepal! I can say that I have ridden and walked comfortably day in and day out for the past two weeks. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best shorts. Top was equally as comfortable and looks pretty cool on the tracks too! Thanks heaps team. Love your gear and your service!

        I love my new Jellybean cycling top!

        I ordered this top because we are about to embark on a 3 month cycle trip to UK and Ireland. As we are riding a tandem we only have half the pannier space that most cycling couples have, so I have to choose carefully. Most of my cycle clothes are from Ground Effect because they fit all the criteria of being durable, lightweight and easily washed.... and pretty!
