1. Basic Information & Design

• Design Inspiration: The jersey takes the U.S. "Stars and Stripes" flag as its core design element. The main navy blue body symbolizes the blue star field of the flag, with white stars dotted on both sides; the red and white vertical stripes running through the front replicate the flag's red and white stripes, and the prominent "USA" lettering on the chest reinforces the national identity, making it the iconic "Stars and Stripes uniform" of the U.S. national cycling team.
• Brand & Partnership Period: In April 2021, Cuore signed a 5-year official partnership agreement with USA Cycling, providing racing kits for all U.S. national teams (road, mountain, track, BMX, etc.). The partnership covered the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games and officially ended at the end of 2025.
• Technical Features: Made with Cuore's patented breathable, quick-drying fabric, it offers high elasticity and rapid sweat wicking, designed for high-intensity racing. It features a silicone gripper on the hem to prevent shifting during rides, and 3 rear storage pockets, meeting the functional requirements of professional cycling jerseys.

Product introduction:

• Italian high-elastic honeycomb mesh elastic band, 3D three-dimensional weaving technology, adaptive shoulder and back curve
  
• Italian 3D ergonomic cushion，ultra-light foam shock absorption in the front, hollow diversion and heat dissipation in the middle, and rear support reinforcement，8-hour continuous riding test, sciatic pressure peak reduced by 47%, antibacterial rate in humid environment 99.2%
• 3D knitted fabric (78% cool nylon/22% Lycra spandex)                                                            

• Fabric: The outer protective layer features a waterproof and windproof coating, crucial for resisting harsh weather conditions (cold wind, rain, snow). It effectively blocks cold wind penetration, preventing heat loss. The fabric surface undergoes a durable water-repellent treatment, forming an invisible protective film that easily handles light rain and road splashes; water droplets bead up and roll off, keeping you dry.

• The inner insulating layer innovatively combines high-quality merino wool, effectively locking in body heat even when wet. More importantly, the soft, skin-friendly feel, moisture-wicking properties, and natural antibacterial characteristics of wool ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable during long rides, eliminating the cold and sticky feeling common in winter cycling.
