Bernard Hinault (Legends) t shirt by Lawrence Keogh/Phil O’Connor

£ 29.00

The image was taken by Phil O'Conner close to the summit of the Puy du Dôme. Bernard Hinault, legendary wel'ard, was keeping his team leader Greg Lemond honest to the extent of here wearing and winning the KoM polka dot jersey. The Puy du Dôme, famously the stage where a spectator punched Eddy Merckx in 1975, was used by Le Tour for the last time in 1988.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
