Eddy Merckx (His defence was attack) t shirt by Lee Frangiamore

£ 29.00

Eddy Merckx won about a third of all the races he entered, an unprecedented and unmatched proportion in pro cycle racing. Probably the only man to have won all the jerseys in a single TdF. The only one of two men to have won The Giro, Le Tour de France and the World Championship in the same year. For the cynics, this at a time when the dope available did not work…

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.
