Whether it's trail riding or long-distance road rides, I enjoy riding whenever I feel like it, without being tied to a specific category. But at this time of year, when the greenery is so beautiful, I find myself reaching for my road bike and trending towards road-focused rides.
The other day, I headed out to the Seino region for the first time with EARLY BIRDS chef Keita, utilizing train transport (rinko), and on the last holiday of May, I went for a solo ride to Seto for the first time in a while. Both were blessed with great weather and made for perfect riding conditions. When it comes to pure riding enjoyment, cycle jerseys and bib shorts are truly indispensable.
Recently, I've often been wearing the Micheline Jersey from CAFE DU CYCLISTE, which is now in its third year.
This jersey is made from an incredibly thin and lightweight fabric, keeping me cool even on the hottest midsummer days and providing the highest level of comfort possible. The color scheme is updated every season since its debut, and this season it arrives featuring navy lines.

Color : Zig Zag Navy
A cycling jersey perfect for hot weather
Using high-quality mesh fabric, this cycling jersey is ideal for long rides in hot climates. The innovative, highly functional fit provides excellent comfort and breathability even in tough conditions. It features a non-see-through mesh body paired with contrasting striped mesh sleeves and a distinctive neckline design.
Equipped with superior moisture-wicking and breathability
With excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, the combination of two types of mesh structures maximizes airflow. It quickly transfers moisture away as you sweat, keeping you dry and making it easier to regulate your body temperature. The gripper-equipped zipper, which allows for adjustable front ventilation, and the low collar are designed with hot weather in mind.
Back pockets that maintain the jersey's silhouette
One of the three reinforced back pockets includes a zippered closure. A key feature of these back pockets is their ability to store plenty of items without ruining the jersey's silhouette.
By the way, it is also an excellent jersey in terms of being lightweight, weighing in at under 120 grams.
We have also received the women's model in the same color.
