Do you ride in seriously hot and humid weather? Or perhaps you are trying to maximize your tan without having to waste time lounging on a beach. The Pinarello Women’s Corsa Collection Tank Top will keep you covered, but just barely. Meanwhile you can expect the same design advantages that are found on the short sleeve and sleeveless versions of the Corsa Collection.
The Women’s Corsa Tank Top front and side panels are made mainly from Giordana’s Gi27 fabric. It is a supremely soft material largely due to the special hydraulic treatment process they put it through which smoothes out the knit, creating an almost velvety feel. This makes the material feel so comfortable against the skin that you won’t want to wear a baselayer, which is probably a good thing since you’ll be wearing your sleeveless jersey on the hottest days. Gi27 also has excellent elasticity, which means that it will give you a racing fit without encumbering you. It also has the added advantage of being extremely colorfast, so that you won’t have to worry about fading colors or bleeding dyes in your laundry.
For the rear panels of the jersey, Giordana employed Host Carbon. The fabric has an elastic composition, which makes it possible for it to mold to the shape of your back while still providing the stabilizing support required to hold your back pockets in place and keep the lower half of the jersey from sagging. There is actual carbon incorporated into the material. It provides very practical services such as acting as an anti-bacterial and aiding in the acceleration of evaporating any sweat build-up. But another quality that is less easy to quantify is that carbon helps promote the overall well-being of the wearer since it protects the rider from the electrical charges that permeate our world. Giordana contends that the electrical charges in the atmosphere, often the result of things like cell phone towers, can negatively affect athletic performance by hindering muscle contraction, thereby promoting fatigue and cramping. To combat this, the carbon fibers in the fabric actually conduct the charges away from the body, preventing the body from retaining lactic acid during the training session.
The Women’s Tank Top Corsa Jersey is a zipper-less pullover, so that you can look forward to a sleek, body-hugging fit with no zipper-caused bulges. It does have a 360 internal sport bra that's made of a lightweight breathable microfiber, it's similar to Asteria 3.0 in the way it feels and looks, but is not exactly the same. Around the bottom of this bra is a soft elastic band that is about four centimeters high and wraps the entire torso. This is designed to hug the wearer's torso to provide support and keep the bra comfortably in place.
Three rear pockets at the back will give you ample storage space, which is such a rarity in sleeveless lady’s jerseys. The light elastic with silicone gripper at the waist will ensure everything stays in place, even when you are fully loaded. A fourth zippered pocket will provide you with that secure space for those few things you can’t afford to lose on a ride.
The panels of the Pinarello Women’s Corsa Collection Tank Top have been determined by the Giordana Women’s Contour Fit system which results in a snuggly ergonomic cut that will cuddle you just enough. Make the most of you time in the sun with the Women’s Corsa Collection Tank Top.
