I'm a motorcycle postie and a keen cyclist. When it gets cold out there, I love this as my base layer to ensure I stay toasty inside. I liked it so much, I bought a second one.
I’ve been buying GE gear since 2001. Everything is beautifully made and durable, and on the rare occasion where something comes apart the amazing GE team will mend it for you. Name any other quality cycle clothing company in the world that does all that. Just buy the gear folks - you won’t regret it.
OK, Background. I've been wearing 3 Ristrettos pretty much daily for 11 or so years. Commuting, training, racing, early morning motor pace at the velodrome or hacking though the mountains. It's a rare ride where I don't wear one of these under whatever else I have on. So, I've started to notice the ones I have deteriorate under the pressure of hundreds of thousands of kilometres and thousands of washes. So I got myself online and bought two new ones.... First, the feel of the fabric on the skin-side is much less soft and way more syth. The actual performance after a few weeks of riding is ok... they still keep me warm and wick away the sweat but... the biggest problem I have is the cut. These are waaaay shorter in the body than my originals, all in the size M. It's actually hard to get them tucked down into my knicks so they don't ride up. Please, please, please make them longer.... I know I'd be giving these 5 stars if the originals weren't just so damn good. Why screw with perfect?
Hi Peter, thanks for leaving feedback and sorry you're disappointed with your newer Ristretto's. We'll flick you an email so we can chat further about the cut/sizing. Pedal on, Ernie
I've been wearing the Ristretto for much more than just on the bike because it's so good. Love it when a product you buy exceeds your expectations!
