A complete change from our rainy season rides, I recently spent some time pedaling through the intense summer heat, accompanied by the energetic chirping of cicadas. While the scorching sun made me worry a bit about sunburn, the sense of accomplishment awaiting me after grinding up a mountain pass and the exhilaration of slicing through the wind on the descent are things I feel are unique to road riding, not just because of the current season.
As for what to wear during such times, while more people have recently been riding in casual styles like T-shirts and shorts, going out for a proper ride kitted up in a jersey, bibs, and clipless shoes is still, after all, very comfortable.

Simple and Beautiful Form
【SEARCH AND STATE】
S1-A Women Riding Jersey
Size : XS , S , M , L
Price : ¥19,000-(excl. tax) → 20%off!! → ¥15,200-(excl. tax)
This is a simple, beautiful cycling jersey made with fabric that offers excellent breathability, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking properties—so good, in fact, that it’s all you need for mid-summer rides.
It possesses a high level of design that might not be immediately obvious at a glance: a durable RIRI front zipper, a design feature that prevents the zipper pull from hitting your neck when fully zipped, and binding on the inside of the collar to prevent the chafing that often occurs at seams. Although the fabric looks like a single color, it is woven with two-tone threads to create a textured finish, which helps reduce discomfort even when you're sweating heavily.
In addition to the women's model designed with a dedicated female pattern, we also have men's versions available, so please be sure to slip into one of these jerseys and head out for a ride this summer!
Superbly Comfortable Merino Wool Jersey
【RINGTAIL】
3S Merino Jersey
Size : XS , S , M , L , XL
Price : ¥20,000-(excl. tax) → 20%off!! → ¥16,000-(excl. tax)
I personally really love this model featuring merino wool; it’s a piece you can enjoy for three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. While the base fabric is merino wool, it’s blended with polyester in a raglan-sleeve construction, offering a unique, muted texture with a tight fit.
It’s not just breathable and quick-drying; the touch against the skin is so remarkably comfortable that I’d want to own it in multiple colors. It might feel a little warm in the heat of mid-summer, but it's great for preparing for early autumn or spring, or for wearing with arm warmers or a vest. Sizing up for a more casual look with shorts is also recommended. The sizing is unisex, so women can wear it as well.
Artwork is the Popular Draw
【TWIN SIX】
Women’s Jersey
Size : XS , S
Price : ¥13,000-(excl. tax) → 20%off!! → ¥10,400-(excl. tax)
There must be many fans who look forward to Twin Six jerseys every year, as they offer great functionality for a cycling jersey at an affordable price, alongside their attractive artwork.
These are often the first jerseys chosen by those who have just started riding road bikes, mountain bikes, or other sports bikes and are looking to try their first cycling jersey.
Another appealing aspect is the ability to enjoy your own personal style: go for a tight fit if you're pairing it with cycling shorts, or size up if you're wearing them with casual shorts.
While the items introduced this time are women's models, there are men's lineups for each, and we have many more cycling jerseys available. Please take a look at them alongside the other sale items!
