Giordana Trade FormaRed Carbon Jersey Women's

We've been admiring the aesthetics of this year's Giordana Trade FormaRed Carbon Women's Jersey from afar since we first heard about its existence, and the jersey's expert tailoring and functionality make it something we'd reach for any day on the roads.
