Trek’s house brand Bontrager has made decent strides with its road clothing over the past couple of seasons, moving from relatively generic product to technical pieces with merit. For this summer, Bontrager has a few new tops, including some light wicking jerseys, and a high-performance vest good for tucking in the jersey pocket when the summer rains are threatening.
