Test: The fanfare sounds. She plays the music of the month May. Who doesn't remember? Until a few years ago, the Friedensfahrt rolled through Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. The former "Tour de France of the East" wrote many stories. And all these are united in one symbol: the dove of peace.
The race also has a special meaning for the two brothers Peter and Martin Velits. She got into cycling. They now earn their living with the WorldTour teams BMC and Omega Pharma-QuickStep. With their company Isadore, they show that they also want to give something back to cycling. Since last year, both have been selling high-quality cycling clothing, always with a special touch.
equipment and practice
The design of the camisole developed in Slovakia is characterized above all by the dove emblem flocked to the chest. To round off the style of the jersey, attention was also paid to a retro look during production. This is achieved through the use of breathable merino wool. This is pleasantly soft on the skin, but still wicks sweat well to the outside while driving. We didn't have to complain about a build-up of heat during our test use.
There are three reinforced pockets on the back. The jersey also has an inside pocket with a zip. This is practical, after all money and house keys can be safely stowed away here. You can also store your phone here. And for all those who like to be reachable on the go, there is also a cable guide for the headset on the shirt.
A short zipper runs from the chest up to the neck. This is protected from unpleasant friction by a small garage. And here, too, the manufacturers have thought along. Because of the strength of the merino wool used, the jersey fits very tightly. This is not only the case in the neck, but also in the arms. If you prefer something a little looser, or if you would like to take the jersey out to dinner in the evening, you should choose one size larger.
Conclusion
The Isadore Peace is a refreshingly different retro jersey. It combines lifestyle with nostalgia and high-quality materials. These make it a chic companion in daily use. And if you can't take part in the Friedensfahrt itself with it, then you can confidently hold the flag high with this jersey at the next race.
