Monserat Announces New Summer Jerseys
PRESS RELEASE: Monserat

We have sewn in an extra breathable back area, so the jersey provides ideal temperature equalization and reduces your sweat production when you go uphill. And if you do get sweaty, the fabric dries within minutes, so you won't freeze on the next trail. In addition we have designed a two-piece sleeve for the B-Series. The same fabric as on the back also provides better ventilation here.
C-Series
Our C-Series short sleeve summer jersey gives you maximum comfort with maximum performance. In addition to the breathable fabric on the back the C-Series jerseys have a two-piece front. With the same fabric as on the back it provides better ventilation here too.

Clothing purchases by Swedes produce the fourth largest share of all carbon emissions for the country—after transportation, food and housing.
And it´s not like, again a small company, can simply go and build all that infrastructure on their own. They need to rely on existing businesses to provide them with whatever they need and since the western world has either a) outsourced all its production to the east or b) localised it in very specific geographic regions (i believe Portugal is big in fabric for example) we have created this problem where even if you wanted to create a locally sourced and produced product, it´s almost impossible to make it 100% local.
So i believe we really gotta cut these guys some slack as what they offer so far is leaps and bounds better than most competitiors and on top the prices are not completely insane either.
If this is what they can achieve now, they'll no doubt be pushing for improvement in the future when capital allows.
Emmissions aside, the jerseys look great. Not another ridiculously over branded or terrible colour combinations selection.
Best of luck to them.

A lot of desert dwelling cultures utilise black clothes almost exclusively when they can spend the hottest hours of the day in the shade to keep cool.
Some people tolerate heat better than others,I don't really feel comfortable above 35ºC/90ºF.
Where I live it rains 90% of the time so it doesn't matter what colour my clothes are, they are gonna be piss wet and mud brown by the end of most rides anyway...
I wear plenty of dark clothes during winter,even if temperatures here rarely drop below the freezing point.

Whilst in the perfect world it wouldnt have to travel through 3 countries, but at least they are all in Europe, rather than the far east etc. So its still waaaay better than the Fox, Mons Royale, TLD stuff everyone is wearing.
Once my fruit of the loom long sleeve t-shirts wear out, i will definitely consider Monserat as a replacement.
