The Split Decision jersey made its first appearance in 2019 and it turned out to be a success. So, it’s a keeper for now, but with a different colour palette. A fresh updated grape which is easy to combine with all coloured Signature bib shorts.
This super lightweight jersey is a game-changer just like racing instinct. It contains three different technical fabrics and is perfect when riding on the warmest of days. The horizontal mesh used on the sleeves and top part of the jersey provides unrivalled ventilation and allows rapid evaporation as you perspire. At the same time, it’s a design feature that gives this jersey a very elegant look, especially in combination with matching bib shorts.
The red zipper is a real eye-catcher and a nod to the ‘split’ decision name of the jersey. It’s an ideal jersey to wear in the heat and will probably help you to make the right ‘split decision’ about having another gin & tonic when cooling off on a terrace after your ride…
Endurance rides are the best for long contemplations, but when racing it’s all about those split-second decisions. They can turn out to be good or bad decisions. And it is that race instinct, to make the best tactical moves, that distinguishes a rider and defines whether they win or lose.
- Tailored race fit intended to be worn slim
- Low-profile collar for comfort and aerodynamic fit
- Ultra Lightweight Mesh construction
- Super-soft and comfortable fabric for perfect freedom of movement
- Full-length YKK zipper with camlock puller and internal zipper flap
- Three back pockets, including a water resistant zippered pocket for valuables
- Elastic waist band with gripper inside, reflective elements outside
Care instructions: Machine wash cool: 30°C | Do not tumble dry | Do not dry-clean | Do not iron | Do not bleach | Wash with similar colours.
Iris Size Guide
Iris clothing is - in Iris' own words - 'a true pro fit'. That means they are deliberately cut to be a close, athletic fit. HOWEVER, if you're not part of the elite professional peloton (most of us aren't!), don't panic. Iris garments are stretchy enough that the sizing in these charts should be a realistic representation of what you can expect.
And bear in mind that Iris herself is a tall, Dutch woman, so wanted to avoid the trap of making kit only for tiny people! The length is a little more generous than some brands, although not dramatically. If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.
