Company
The North Face is a brand of VF Corporation, a multinational company that collects and manages wind in the world's most famous brands in outdoor sports, jeanswear and sportswear.
The North Face, is engaged in outdoor sports, with a wide range of clothing, accessories and equipment for the hiker. It has therefore focused only on a range cycling, indeed the opposite is true: after having established itself in the field of extreme sports (with backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, etc..) Now approaching the world with a range of bikes, maybe not wide but high-tech.
The Range The North Face
Clothing for men, women and children, in addition to a wide range of accessories for hiking and extreme adventure, this is the range at a glance The North Face. If some leaders are typically "casual" does not lack the technical products more suitable to the most extreme adventure and tested by the greatest athletes in the world. Its range there are various garments that can be used effectively in cycling, from sweaters to jackets, anti wind to finish the backpacks. Now you enter the world of cycling with a series of very fine, which is very focused on the quality of fabrics used, finishing with accurate, refined look and then, low weight, high breathability and functionality. An example of this is the shirt Jasper Venture, dedicated to women.
The shirt Jasper Venture
The Jasper shirt is made from a fabric called VaporWick that allows a rapid moisture allowing the skin to remain dry. Moreover, the tissue is enriched with carbon fiber derived from bamboo that has a UV protection. The seams are flat, while always improving the breathability, the sides is a large area in perforated fabric. The cut is anatomically conformed to the morphology of female and there are two pockets on the back of the jersey. A small allows you to insert an mp3, has tourniquet to stop the instrument and microfiber cloth to wrap the same so that no beams in the sweat and there is no contact with the body a hard object. Obviously, it is anticipated the exit hole for the cable. The other pocket is wider, for storing larger objects. The zip is short. In M we found a weight of 138 grams. It 'available in sizes from XS to XL. In addition to the colour of the sample under test is a variation on a black base and another on a pink (Red Poppy) and then also a shirt without zip, with the same technical characteristics.
Road test
The shirt Jasper Venture was specially designed for use in MTB, but this does not preclude its use even on the road. The completion of the stitching is perfect, but it's all the chief wanted to prove and attentive to detail. As the realization of pocket for mp3 with micro fiber cloth to avoid direct contact with the body and the sweat or the same string that provides further by an accidental loss of the same mp3. The same pocket, alternatively, can be effectively used to store the car keys. The fabric is light and soft to the touch, often seems, but in practice it is not. E 'instead resistant to tearing and this further increases the feeling of a leader of high quality. Cut female anatomy is perfect and this leaves us to think not just around when you see women with technical clothing for men. Although the differences may seem minimal one end specifically designed for women is just another thing. Elegantly the graphic. The large rear pocket is large, but remains with a low profile, however, is sufficient to include ant rain or energy bars. Moving, even with the great heat, it is surprising high breathability of the fabric, perhaps among the best ever. Even at high temperatures and excessive perspiration, the mesh was always dry, with a perfect external migration, sweat and almost enviable VaporWick sign that the fabric is really effective, superior to similar products so far tested by us. Washing and subsequent drying is simple and quick.
Conclusions
This shirt Jasper Venture, we were astonished by his ability to sweat, truly exceptional and sets a new benchmark in the industry. Product quality is consistent with the brand The North Face, which is very high. Seams perfect, detailed research, high technology (see protection for UV rays or tissue WaporWick). The cut is perfect with high feeling of comfort and stylish look, but discreet. The low-profile rear pocket has a large capacity, but it is easy to use. A leader in the use ideal mtb, but also on the road, especially in hot days or those with heavy perspiration.
