Seven, four, one… are we going crazy? Yes, the numbers from Umbrail's Hermeda jersey. Seven like the different fabrics used, four like its pockets, and one like its style... truly unique. A garment of total elegance for those who love to stand out on their bike. The vast catalog of the Brescia-based brand, also strong in terms of winter clothes, thus an additional pearl is gained.
Seven fabrics
But elegance also rhymes with technical peculiarities in this case. Every detail of the Hermeda is carefully considered and never banal.
The first thing that catches the eye is the fit: snug and soft like the best “slim fit”. This is due to the highly sought-after Lycras which vary depending on the area of the torso: harder and softer where one or the other characteristic is needed.
The crew neck is also fitted. It's low-cut so it won't bother you in hot weather, yet it's still stylish.
Matching zip
Another notable aspect of the Hermeda is its clean lines. A single color and virtually invisible stitching give this Umbrail piece the elegance we were talking about. The exposed zip, which matches the colour of the shirt, also accentuates this aspect.
The zip features a stylish windproof strip for added comfort. The only lettering is the brand name, embroidered on the chest, and a label sewn onto the center pocket on the back.
We were talking about the fit. We mentioned the crew neck, which is also fitted, but the entire cut of the Hermeda is designed to be a fashionable "second skin." If you look closely, even the sleeves aren't exactly short, in fact...
And this, in addition to being a precise choice by Umbrail, is also thanks to one of its most used fabrics, namely the Lycra by Sensitive. Sensitive is an Italian company that is specializing in this product also from an eco-sustainable perspective.
Three plus one
Let's move on to pockets. Hermeda doesn't offer the classic three compartments, but rather four on the plate, or rather on the torso.
In addition to the three back pockets there is a fourth one on the side, Useful and virtually invisible, it's perfect for storing smaller items: a credit card, some cash, a gel, or a bar. What's more, the back pockets feature an internal hole for running cables from a radio, a power bank, or your phone's earphones.
At the base of the pockets there is the classic reflective tape which contributes to visibility on the road by vehicles.
Finally, three valuable pieces of information: Umbrail recommends washing its garments at 30 degrees. and no use of fabric softeners or dryers. It is available in four colors: Mustard, White, Cloud and Bini... Finally, we remind you that All the garments of the Lombardy company are customizable.
