MISANO ADRIATICO – In the paddock of the circuit named after Marco Simoncelli, a few steps from the bici.PRO bus we found a real style corner signed rh+This is precisely the impression you get when you pick up and look at the Italian brand's garments. Quality and performance at the service of the cyclist, enriched with simple yet elegant graphics and colors that embrace every context for which they were designed. From the earthy and natural colors for gravel and MTB to the brighter shades for the road. Among the new 2024 models we found two proposals, a restyling of the Tous Terrain jersey and the new, fresh Solaro Jersey.
Confirmations and news
Welcoming us under the rh+ gazebo was Andrea Pizzi, Marketing and Communications Manager of the company Italian company. Among the new features and confirmations, we asked them how the experience is going on with Unpaved Roads to whom we had the opportunity to participate.
"We have some new products for 2024," Pizzi explains, "which we'll be presenting soon. Our commitment to standing out in the cycling world in terms of style and performance is increasingly consolidated. We are continuing the project as main sponsor in the Unpaved Roads eventsAn event that takes place several times a year and fits perfectly with our concept of cycling. This weekend we'll be riding our gravel bikes with the participants in the Casentino forests. We're already talking about renewing our support next year. As for what's new, here at the IBF we've brought a restyling of the Tous Terrain jersey, with improvements and enhancements. But also the Solaro Jersey, a cool and comfortable shirt for long, sunny summer rides."
Stylish and fresh
Among the new 2024 products, the new Solaro Jersey summer shirt stands out. A garment made entirely with Morphic Light Mesh 100% PL fabric, highly breathable, quick-drying and extremely light. Its intended use is on those summer days that put a strain on cyclists' bodies. Thermoregulation for rh+ is a detail that cannot be overlooked.
The characteristic of this shirt is the particular printing of the colour on an already dyed fabric, this creates a iridescent color effect with the background color appearing transparentThe construction is essential for a perfect fit. The bottom of the sleeves is glued with the unmistakable Pocket System which includes, in addition to the traditional three pockets, a fourth side pocket with zipThe bottom of the jersey is made of Grip Fit Xlight elastic with non-slip silicone inside. Reflective applications on the front and back increase visibility and safety in the saddle.
Intelligent restyling
We tested it in Punta Ala, during the Tuscan Unpaved Roads stage. The Tous Terrain jersey amazed us with its quality and lightness. Today it is being re-proposed but with a revised graphic and some attention to the empire of the fabrics on the back. The shirt has a vintage look and colors that recall the tones of nature for a true gravel style. The Eco Biomorphic Dry Skin Adaptive Stretch fabric is not only recycled but also very soft to the touch and cool on the skin.
On the back we find theEco Morphic Ultra Light Mesh 4 Way Stretch placed vertically instead of horizontally as in the previous model. This is because its weave allows for better breathability and with this revised design it provides more uniformity. At the same time, this feature provides greater stability. The pocket design is no longer asymmetrical. This allows for a easier access and better weight distribution on the rearThe graphics feature a more pronounced new design on the shoulders with eye-catching stripes. The bottom of the jersey is made with Grip Fit Xlight elastic with non-slip silicone inside.
