G4 Intemporel Mens Bib Shorts

A highly technical bib short from French brand G4, the Intemporel is also a style statement, with it’s subtle modern design. G4 strive to blend to performance and style, and they’ve achieved it with these shorts.

G4 have used the UCI world class experience of leading cyclist Geoffroy Lequatre, designing bib shorts fit for the pros, yet cut to high fashion levels and with a superb ribbed design, allowing air to move freely over the rider and maximising breathability.

Designed to match the stylish Intemporel jersey, yet also subtle enough for all the jerseys in their range, these technical shorts utilise the aero fabric well, with this lightweight and highly breathable material used on the hard working areas of the upper legs. And, like the accompanying jersey, the fabric adds to the fashion statement, producing an elegant finish. The leg panels are designed for compression , and fit tightly yet comfortably to the rider.

For the hard wearing areas of the shorts, there’s a stronger 4 way stretch lycra fabric, with flatlocked stitching and the signature G4 superb finishing. The bib straps are also extremely well made, extremely wide, super strong and elasticated, meaning that they sit perfectly flat across the shoulders and chest, oozing the well thought out design and keeping things in place. Geoff Lequatre has used all of his world class experience as a pro tour rider in this area and it shows.

There’s a mesh panel on the back too, so that the high wicking areas of the body can breathe and move the moisture away from you.

Holding it all in place, the legs are neatly trimmed with a wide elasticated terraband, clinging to the body and adding to the second skin feel and the compression effect. The branding is subtle, as these bibs really don’t need to shout out – the quality speaks for itself.

G4 have also worked hard to design their own pad, again using the world tour experience of former TdF rider Geoff Lequatre, and it is a very comfortable seat. It’s stood the tests here in Yorkshire and across Europe on tough long days in the saddle. There’s a saying that ‘you get what you pay for’, and whilst coming in at the very premium end of the market, the Intemporel bib shorts from G4 are worth the money, performing superbly, and simply ooze quality and style.

G4 aim to create a merging of performance and fashion, and in this shorts they’ve achieved just that.

A highly technical jersey from French brand G4, the Intemporel is also a style statement, with it’s subtle modern design. G4 strive to blend to performance and style, and they’ve achieved it with this jersey.

G4 have used the UCI world class experience of leading cyclist Geoffroy Lequatre, designing a jersey fit for the pros, yet cut to high fashion levels and with superb design.

The main panels front and back are a heavy weave aero fabric. This keeps you warm and also maximises breathability and wicking. And, the design is such that the aero fabric adds to the overall style, producing an elegant fashion orientated garment.

For the side panels, G4 have used a lighter but strong and tightly woven lycra, for the active areas of the body This helps with form fitting and is continued with the light but super stretchy sleeves. The 4 way stretch material of the sleeves cling to the upper arms, producing a perfect fit. A high areo collar finishes it off well, and the full length zipper is also first class. Cheap zips are a pet hate of mine, but this is of the highest quality and adds to the ultimate overall standard of this high end garment.

The 3 pockets at the rear have ample space and are made strong, holding everything required, and there’s the addition of a small but well designed and strong zipped pocked for the car keys or loose change.

Holding it all in place at the hem is a wide and super strong elasticated band, meaning that the jersey stays in place and fits the form perfectly. Now for the design, which is ultra modern. It’s a simple black and white design that oozes quality and elegance. The paint effect panels are subtle and stylish and matched only by the superb feel and performance.

Using this jersey across Europe and at home in Yorkshire, it fits like a second skin, feels great and wicks away when required, keeping me ultra comfortable. Movement is free and the overall feel is of a well designed super quality garment , with the highest levels of finishing.

Yes, this is a high end cycling jersey for all cyclists; especially those who strive for the best – performance and style in ultimate union.

G4 Ladies Denim Jacket

“Cycling during autumn is like being in a fairy tale especially on a mountain-bike. In the forest, multiple colours of the leaves and trees make it really special and enjoyable to ride there. Riding in the G4 cycling kit was the piece that completed the perfect puzzle. Once the colours of spring start to bloom too, the forests once again begin to come to life.”

This new collection of top-of-the-range ladies’ jackets embodies the spirit of G4’s “la performance elegante”. The Denim 3 in 1 winter jacket has triple innovative layers and will meet all the requirements.

I appreciate it because nowadays not enough attention is given to women’s cycling wear and it’s rare to find elegant, stylish, feminine kit. The women’s Denim Collection addresses this issue and it’s just the right image for a sophisticated, modern cyclist. It has a smart, up-to-date look to a technical garment to give a top-performing jacket matching urban style.

G4’s radical approach to technical clothing is to conquer any climatic situation with style and comfort irrespective of whether you’re out training, walking or riding. From a technical point of view, even if it’s pouring or blowing a gale, this jacket’s waterproof and windproof base layer Nano-Tex membrane will provide absolute protection and let you to ride in comfort. Inside, its second layer is an internal vest which protects your torso from the coldest of winter conditions, or cold autumn and early spring rides out into the hills.

The third one is an integrated base layer in the back of the jacket to ensure breathability and heat regulation.. Inside and out, this elegant jacket fulfils all your needs. G4 thought of everything, particularly the safety, by increasing the visibility on the road with reflective panels on the elbows and pockets, as well as on the front and back of the jacket. The bright colours of this Denim jacket are your best defence.

Even in winter and the cold days of early spring, I look to feel good and look stylish; this technical jacket from G4 allows me to have both –performance and style … because I’m worth it!
