inGamba’s Donkey Week had a surprise mid-trip treat from our friends at Giordana, who sent over their new elite collection, the FR-C: FormaRed-Carbon, for all of our guests to put to the test.
The range is cut to a race fit and is designed to mould to your body like a second skin and keep you looking great and feeling strong all day.
The FR-C bibs are a deviation – in our opinion, a welcome one – from the recent shift in cycling apparel towards superfine fabrics that sacrifice comfort for lightness. The supportive, high-compression fabric used in these shorts is exactly what you need on long, hard rides and the wide, sturdy straps add to the overall feeling of a well-constructed product.
Giordana have been friends of inGamba for a long time. And not just because they make some of the best cycling kit on the market. They’re our clothing manufacturers of choice because we share a genuine passion for cycling, because we both believe in quality and because we’re both immensely proud of what we do.
Giorgio Andretta founded Giordana in 1979 with a clear goal: To offer athletes unparalleled performance by combining the best of Italian craftsmanship and style with the latest technological advances. More than 30 years later, his company still sets the standard.
We think this range performs perfectly, and represents the best of Italian manufacturing. And just as importantly, it looks cool. It’s the kind of kit that makes you just wanna pull on a fresh pair of crisp white socks, and hit the road – hard.
