Podium Elite Series (1).jpgAltura launches new Podium Elite range
UK bike clothing and luggage brand Altura has launched a Performance Road Series for spring and summer 2016 that includes its new top-end Podium Elite range.
“The Podium Elite Series introduces garments offering the rider our lightest and highest performing technical attributes, featuring proprietary engineered fabrics with superior temperature regulation, comfort and performance,” says Altura.
“The Podium Elite Short Sleeve Jersey [£74.99] is an aggressively designed, fitted jersey featuring Coldblack and Altura Draft Venting technology to keep the rider cooler and drier.
“The Podium Elite Bib Short [£99.99] delivers elite ride performance through the new ergonomic Altura Pro 3D pad with full carving conch construction and breathable perforations.”
We’ve asked if we can have these for review here on road.cc.
The Performance Road Series also introduces a new line of Italian engineered performance pads from Berenis, a brand that belongs to the same group as the better known CyTech - Elastic Interface.
A multi-density Berenis pad is included in the £54.99 Altura Sportive bib shorts.
If you’re looking for bike clothing for the warmer weather, check out our buyer’s guide to summer cycling jerseys and our buyer’s guide to the best bib shorts.

I've been a total snob about Altura gear in the past (too commutery), but the recent raceline/podium efforts are really smart. Looking forward to the review
Nice colour scheme on that jersey for the podium elite series.
£74? Is it as good as the others? Seems a bit pricey for mid range Altura.
