TAAC Cycling Podio and Volata , the short-sleeved jersey and bib shorts respectively, both with a minimalist yet functional design and excellent fit. The jersey is made of a fabric we like to call "impalpable ," with just the right amount of snugness and super stretch. The shorts are comfortable, stable, and feature a chamois with differentiated padding.
Both are noteworthy for their excellent balance between overall quality, attention to detail, and finish, and their listed prices. The Podio jersey is priced at €79,90, with the bib shorts also costing the same amount . Let's take a closer look at these two technical pieces.
The TAAC Volata bib shorts, designed for long hours in the saddle
TAAC Volata is a dungaree that is very simple in concept, at first sight, and in shape . It is suitable for different interpretations, for those who love simplicity and minimal technical garments, but also for those who like to combine aesthetic simplicity with a notable technicality of the garment.
Overall, it's based on a fabric with pronounced four-way stretch , a factor that also gives the bib shorts a pleasant, yet not excessive, compressive power in various areas of the thigh. This same elasticity supports, holds, and allows the shorts to be quite stable . The quality of pedaling over long distances improves. They dry in a flash.
High density seat pad
It's very special and it's not the "usual" standard caseback. It shows off its support areas with differentiated density, thanks to the very compact foam. The padding is not a single block, but it comes with dots of different sizes, separated from each other by real channelsThe latter allow air to circulate for comfort, reduced heat and humidity build-up, all complemented by excellent support. This overalls also winks at the category gravel.
The TAAC chamois is strategically placed at the sides , along its perimeter, and at the front so as not to compress the intimate areas while still providing protection. It is well supported at the rear, where it widens significantly and where the padding also protects the lower section of the buttocks , which often rests on the widest part of the saddle. The TAAC chamois is a custom-made product.
The shirt in the palm of your hand
A concept that, in our opinion, conveys the idea of the garment we are discussing very well. Just like the TAAC Volata overalls, it is a garment entirely Made in Italy . It is made with a bi-elastic micro nylon yarn , extremely thin, impalpable, super adaptable to the body's shape, and extra comfortable. It has no mesh inserts or different fabric panels, an aspect that limits the presence of seams and reduces any friction , not a detail, especially on the hottest days and considering the fitting performance of the jersey.
The crew neck and top edges of the pockets feature reinforced hems and die-cut seams , a testament to attention to detail and a product designed to last. There are three back pockets; the two side pockets flare outward, which somewhat limits their capacity. They are just the right amount of depth and, overall, reflect the concept of a product that leverages its elasticity as a highly valuable asset . The TAAC Podio jersey's fabric offers UPF 20 protection.
