Woolistic Cinzano wool review

Sporting the Italian team strip made famous in the film Breaking Away, this Cinzano wool jersey is an instant classic. It's made from 100% Merino for a soft touch and cosiness, unmatched by synthetic fibres. The fabric is denser and slightly heavier than most polyester tops so it feels warmer and lets less breeze come through. The front zip is also fairly short (15cm) meaning it's best for cooler weather rides. Torso length is long all around and the three back pockets are narrow and deep. The detailing and embroidery is excellent - no reflective marks though.
