RETRO CYCLING POLKA DOT JERSEY Red/White - REDTED
€59,50Cycling Jerseys - Men - REDTED
A replica retro cycling jersey from our exclusive RedTed collection. With the look of the past and the comfort of the present.
The RedTed Performance retro cycling jerseys have a silicone grip at the back and an elastic band with a grip at the front. Together with the elastic band at the (somewhat longer) sleeve, this ensures the jersey stays perfectly in place while cycling. The fabric is 100% polyester with a micro-hole ball pattern (breathable and lightweight).
These cycling jerseys are aerodynamic - so 'slim fit'; just a bit more tailored than the standard Retro Cycling jerseys. Because of the flatlock stitching, the jersey is sturdy and the seams do not irritate. The cycling jerseys are finished with a hidden long YKK heavy duty zip and have 3 large back pockets which are closed with an elastic band. The RedTed Performance cycling jerseys are available in 8 sizes, from S till 5XL.
ATTENTION: 'Italian' sizing and 'slim fit' so be sure to choose one size bigger than your usual European dress size. CHECK OUT THE SIZING TABLE.

The polka dot jersey for the Mountain Kings - REDTED
Since 1975, the leader of the mountain classification in the Tour de France is rewarded with the polka dot jersey. Joop Zoetemelk was the first rider to wear it in 1975. However, the real king of the mountains in 1975 was Lucien van Impe. The 'Little one of Mere' is the greatest 'retro' king of the mountains of the Tour, because he won this jersey six times. In doing so, he equalled the Spaniard Federico Bahamontes. We should also mention the French rider Richard Virenque. This 'Richard the Lionheart' was the mountain king of the Tour de France for seven times. So his house must be packed with polka dot jerseys.
This very striking, clownish jersey was created by sports journalist and Tour boss Félix Lévitan. With this striking jersey, Félix wanted to honour the French cyclist Henri Lemoine. Henri Lemoine (1909-1991) was a modest man and a great cyclist with the nickname 'Petits pois'. But Henri Lemoine had the idea of the polkadot jersey from somewhere else. If you want to know where the polka dot jersey really comes from - read our blog.

With the RedTed replica of the polka dot jersey, we honour all mountain goats who have the strength and courage to take on the mountains. With this tightly cut RedTed polka dot jersey around your shoulders, you'll feel like a real mountain king and will ride uphill just a little bit easier.
