Published:
The breathable Andora micro-fabric on the Italian-made Origine is soft and forgiving. It also comes with a slightly looser fit than your typical race jersey, while still remaining flap-free. This makes it feel like an old friend from the start.
The Origine functions very much like a modern jersey, especially when temperatures rise, as it does a good job wicking to keep you dry.
On the rear there are three deep pockets that hold all you need for a day in the saddle. These are located a little higher to reach into than some, which makes them a little harder to get into on the fly.
The laidback styling combined with the high level of function will draw you in. It’s a jack-of-all-trades jersey that will shine for sportives, gravel grinding, easy training sessions and those rides with a coffee or beer stop where you don’t want to look too lairy…
