Bellwether
On the more affordable end of the spectrum, Bellwether has jerseys and bibs with heat-deflecting materials. The inside layer of the Bellwether Forza bibs have polymers (in circles below) that react with moisture to lower surface temperature. And the company also uses ColdBack in some of its garments to lower temperature, as well as something it calls CoolTemp, which acts similarly but is embedded in the fabric fibre instead of an external treatment.
