Shredding The North Shore in Icebreaker
February 1, 2012
Icebreaker sponsored rider Arthur Gaillot rips some sweet North Shore trail in his Icebreaker bike gear of choice: an Oasis Crewe base layer, and the SS Circuit bike Jersey.
Says Mr. Gaillot about the gear:
“It was a crisp Fall day, recent rains left a chill in the air, and I was quite comfortable in my Oasis Crewe long sleeve and Circuit SS Jersey. Always a bit of standing around in these circumstances and being able to stay warm is key.”
