The Design

About Jelenew Kurzarm-Radtrikot

Jelenew ist ein Kurzarm-Radtrikot, das speziell für Radfahrerinnen entwickelt wurde. Das Trikot besteht aus einem Funktionsgewebe mit Aero-Streifen, die den parallelen Luftstrom in Kanäle umlenken und so den Luftwiderstand verringern. Das Material vereint 85 Prozent Nylon mit 15 Prozent Polyurethanfaser und wiegt 115 Gramm pro Quadratmeter, sodass das fertige Trikot 125 Gramm wiegt. An Brust, Taille und Rücken kommt ein Pro-Fit-Schnitt zum Einsatz, der der weiblichen Körperform entspricht und den Muskeln eine dosierte Kompression verleiht. Ein reflektierendes Logo auf der Rückseite verbessert die Sichtbarkeit bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen.

Unique Properties: This functional cycling jersey specially designed for female cyclists strikes a balance between athletic performance and stylish design. Giving full consideration to aerodynamics, it adopts the technical fabric with aero stripes to dissipate air and create the optimal aerodynamic surface, so as to minimize drag. Ergonomic advanced customization techniques improve the fit of the garment to adapt to the female-specific physiology, and offer a comfortable wearing experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 10*600*540mm
Tags: female short sleeve cycling jersey, technical fabric with aero stripes, advanced customization techniques, 4D tailored fitted design, environmentally friendly materials
Production Technology: fabric made of 85 percent nylon and 15 percent polyurethane fiber, technical fabric with aero stripes, pro fit cutting technology, COATS sewing thread
Design Challenge: The challenge of the product design is how to strike a balance between stylish design and athletic performance. The design team innovatively used the technical fabric with aero stripes, and introduced advanced customization techniques to realize a good user experience and visual pleasure. The product reshapes the way female cyclists view professional cycling jerseys, inspiring more women to embrace the joy of cycling.
Research: Cycling, as a green and healthy activity, has rapidly caught the attention of people. However, although more women have embraced cycling, their clothing preferences often go unaddressed. Beyond the basics of comfort, breathability, and athletic performance, female cyclists place a greater emphasis on the aesthetic appeal of cycling jerseys. Therefore, integrating these expectations into design will be a pivotal strategy for cycling jersey brands to gain a competitive edge in the market.
Inspiration: The jersey draws inspiration from aerodynamics. Air flows in parallel streams, resulting in drag on cyclists. Therefore, this product is designed to optimize the overall aerodynamics from fabric to cut. The striped texture of the fabric redirects parallel wind, creating air channels to minimize drag, while the 4D tailored fitted shoulder and neckline further decreases drag to greatly reduce physical exertion.
Project Duration: The design and development of this project started in Paris, France, in September 1st, 2023. It was introduced to the market in August 1st, 2023.
Operation Flow: The ultralight fabric of 115g per square meter reduces the jersey to 125g to offer an agile experience. The breathable fabric facilitates perspiration to keep users fry and comfortable. Pro fit cutting technology used in key areas like the chest, waist and back ensures a perfect fit to muscles and provides proper compression to different muscle groups, alleviating muscle fatigue, lactic acid buildup and post-exercise discomfort. The reflective logo on the back safeguards cyclists in low light.
