ENGINEERED FOR EXPOSURE
When we reviewed the product notes from hundreds of thousands of collective miles ridden in our groundbreaking V1.0 Cargo Jersey, one thing stood out.
If we wanted to truly fulfil our goal to build the ultimate all-day, all-terrain, all-distance cycling jersey worthy of Sarah Ruggins' upcoming 'OWN2026' world record attempt, we had to include robust protection from harmful UV rays.
#EDIT008 marks the debut of our completely new and re-engineered Cargo Jersey, featuring a recycled UPF 50 main fabric that shields you from 98% of harmful UV rays.
Just one of many improvements that further moves the needle on our flagship all-distance jersey.
#EDIT008 includes:
UPF 50 Jersey (Short Sleeve and Long Sleeve)
Sleeveless Base Layer
5-Panel Cap
All presented in our unique Blueprint pattern.
#EDIT008 launches at midday (UK) Friday 27th March in an ultra limited launch edition of just 100 pieces.
UPF 50 S/S JERSEY
If you already own our V1.0 Cargo Jersey, you'll know all about the unrivalled carry capacity of our unique 6-pocket configuration.
A bit like our bib shorts, once you've tried it, it's hard to go back to anything else.
You'll be glad to hear that it returns for V2.0, with reinforced attachment points, and 3D reflective elements.
Further improvements include a completely new and improved silhouette, including a raglan sleeve to ensure full arm and shoulder sun protection. The new design also allows us to run a single seamless panel of high-vent fabric all the way from the underarm to the waist.
Our snag-free zipper also returns, with a brand new custom reflective puller for easy venting on-the-go.
Thankfully you don't have to be setting new endurance world records to see the benefits!
UPF 50 L/S JERSEY
The Long Sleeve version of our new UPF 50 Cargo Jersey does double duty.
One the one hand, it is engineered to layer perfectly with our Long Sleeve Base Layer in cooler conditions - with the added option of our Cargo Gilet for additional warmth and protection.
But it has also been designed and tested to cope with hotter riding conditions, such as long exposed climbs, where the full arm coverage will keep you protected from the sun on the way up, and then from the wind on the way back down.
If you've ever wanted a single three-season jersey to fit and forget, this is the one.
SLEEVELESS BASE LAYER
We have no complaints with our original sleeveless base layer. It's tested and proven, in both sleeveless and long sleeve versions.
But that doesn't stop our endless quest for further improvement.
In this case, discovering a new fabric - and simultaneously moving production to a new factory partner - has led to a subtle but worthwhile re-engineering, including further tweaks to the fit.
The perfect companion layer to our new UPF 50 Cargo Jersey - but also a great option with our Winter Cargo Jersey, for cooler conditions - the rear pocket means it also works well beneath casual layers or even on its own.
PONYTAIL CAP
Another popular product to get a makeover - and a coinciding Blueprint launch edition - is our 5-Panel Ponytail Cap.
Designed from day one as a highly technical unisex product - which features a ponytail hole for longer hair styles - it's the only cap we've ever tested that can manage all-day rides beneath a helmet without ever causing comfort issues.
A big part of its success is the combination of a high-venting perforated main fabric, plus extremely low profile seam joins.
For many brands, the humble cap is often treated as an easy margin maker. At Kostüme, we take the opposite approach, investing more than might be deemed reasonable to create a standout product, for use both on and off the bike.
