Custom cycling apparel company Curve will follow up last year's successful limited run of professional-spec rain jackets with another small production run this winter along with a similarly limited batch of rain vests, too.
Custom apparel company Curve is again offering the Proline GT Professional Rain Jacket - supposedly the same patterns, fabrics, and construction Moa provides for sponsored ProTour riders - for delivery in early 2012. Pre-orders must be placed by the end of October
The nylon fabrics are polyurethane-coated and seam-taped for waterproofing and breathability, there's a full-length Velcro closure instead of a standard zipper, a fleece collar and cuffs lend a softer touch against bare skin, and stretch panels along the full length of the sleeves and sides of the torso help maintain a trim silhouette relative to more billowy options.
New for next season is the addition of the similarly built rain vest – again, touted to be a functionally identical item to ones provided to MOA-sponsored riders on the Pro Tour. "Same fabrics and general pattern just without sleeves," said Nejezchleb.
Pricing for both items is decidedly premium with the jacket costing US$235 and the vest US$185. Color options are limited to black with discreet white Curve logos. Interested buyers will need to place pre-orders by October 31 with delivery slated for January 2012.
New for 2012 from Curve is a vest version of the limited edition Proline GT Professional Rain Jacket first offered to the public last year
