Ideal on dry weather, headlines and leggings Craft with reflective fabric and reflective tape bring the rider a real comfort when temperatures drop below 10 degrees as well as more safety
The Craft is a Swedish brand for thirty years specializing in sports clothing and underwear with thermoregulatory fibers at the forefront of innovation and good price. Since 1977, Craft is actively involved in research and development of different tissues with properties ventilation and moisture management. The result of all these efforts is there. With Warmer Weather, Craft has successfully designed cuffs and waterproof leggings and windproof while allowing breathability and wicking. They use technology Ventair Wind that provides excellent protection and ventilation in windy conditions.
To be both waterproof and breathable, these two sections are made of two different tissue types. The first consists of 100% polyester and the second polyester and 83% and 17% elastane. This distinction provides a front windbreaker that still remains elastic and breathable backside for thermoregulation through Thermo Cool technology combining two polyesters, scratched on the inside for thermal regulation. Layer windproof leaves a slightly plastic feel to the touch and has a tendency to form wrinkles on the joints, but all is not as unpleasant or embarrassing for pedaling. The breathable layer for its soft and does not feel when the weather is dry.
Over the years, Craft dug deep to understand the individual needs of cyclists. Their depth of how the body works in intense situations sports knowledge helped them to design these products with seams that perfectly fit the shape and allow movement without any discomfort, at the same time, they insert the reflective tape into the design and keep them safe with the reflective element. We must however take the time to place them properly if you do not want to have a feeling of discomfort.
For the maintenance, Craft placed two silicone strips on the top, an inner and an outer one, for attaching to both the skin and the shorts or shirt. The system therefore acts as clamps to keep the cuffs and leg warmers in place. The only negative note on the maintenance point is the lack of tape on the bottom. If leggings are tight, they tend to rise slightly. The solution is to put the socks over leggings so they do not move.
Regarding the design, Craft remained sober for these accessories. They are found only in black with a red silicone rim in length. The brand logo appears with reflective material so as to be seen in bad weather or during late night out.
