Men's Foundation Jersey

14 reviews

The Foundation Jersey is our “high end entry level” jersey. Adhering to the same meticulous philosophy used on our higher price point jerseys, the Foundation pairs fine gauge Italian milled recycled polyester with a subdued aesthetic, a slightly more relaxed fit and careful planning around finishings and details to create our most value-conscious option to date. Light weight, incredibly soft and high wicking, the Foundation meets the demands of Velocio quality and performance.

Materials & Care

Fabric Content

Fabric: 100% Recycled Polyester

Made in IT

Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects. 

We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts. 

Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors. 

Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life. 

Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments. 

Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.

FAQ

How does the fit of your different jersey models compare?
All of our jerseys are intended to be a tight/tailored fit to minimize extra material. This has several benefits, including muscle support, minimal chafing, and improved breathability and wicking.

  • Our Signature jersey has moderate compression and support but is less compressive compared to other models.
  • Our SE is more compressive than the Signature in the sleeves but will feel similar otherwise.
  • The Ultralight is our most compressive and supportive fit.
  • The Radiator Mesh jersey is similar to our Ultralight, but less compressive through the torso/stomach area given the Radiator fabric.
  • The CONCEPT jersey is our most aerodynamic and race-fit jersey, and offers slightly less compression than the Ultralight.
  • The Micromodal is our least compressive, fitting like a slim-cut tee shirt.

What is the length and width of your jerseys?
Our jersey sizing is unique and is graded differently for each size. We design each element of the jersey separately for every size. Because of this, every jersey will have slightly different measurements depending on the model and its intended fit.

Our jersey models are intended to fit the same in each size with some variation due to different fabrics that have different feel and elasticity. We highly recommend following our sizing chart or shopping at one of our retailers to find your preferred size and fit.

Love riding these for long haul events. Great pockets that don't sag and deep rich colors. A great bargain.

Fits true to size but maybe not multi functional

This jersey feels great and breathes well. The size guide for all of my Velocio apparel has always been accurate for me. I’m 6’2” and 180 . I purchased one of these jerseys and am not sure if I would get another from this level in their lineup ; it feels comfortable and is good for hot days which is fine; however, it cannot carry many things let alone be stuffed full in the rear pockets because they are so weak they sag and swing around. At this price point this is very inconvenient for long endurance days or single overnighters. I remember the defining day that left these pockets sagging and never to return to comfortable again; I was simply at a gas station stop and filled the left pocket with my pack small wind breaker, the middle pocket had one clif bar and pump, the right pocket had three bars and two gels. I requested to see if velocio could recycle the jersey because I hate that it sits by in my closet.

Good all-round summer training jersey

Very comfortable & light. Nice colors. Ordered an XL and it fit with a tad extra space…perhaps could pull off a large in this style

Very Comfortable Jersey

This is the most comfortable jersey I own. The material is very soft and breathable. Although the fabric is light it still feels like it will be durable over time.
