  • The high tech fabrics and features in a tee style
  • Clean subtle style looks great anywhere
  • Quality construction LG is known for
  • Relaxed Fit

The Louis Garneau Palomar Tee isn’t your average T-shirt that you might see your neighbor Fred wearing while on his 70’s Motobecane. What you get with the Palomar Tee are many technical features, high-tech fabrics, quality construction and style Louis Garneau is known for.

Sometimes I just do not feel like dressing out for a ride looking like every other Joe Racer there, I also do not want to look like Fred in a sweet stained cotton tee either wearing the Palomar Tee solves both dilemma’s. LG has constructed the Palomar tee with two well proven technical fabrics. Airdry is used for the main body and the upper portion of the sleeves. Airdry has a small inner cell construction to enhance airflow and moisture wicking. LG’s Mesh is used for the under arm, shoulder blade back of the collar and the sleeve cuffs provides extreme breathability, incomparable comfort and flexibility because of its spandex content which reduces chafe and dries very quickly.

The classic raglan sleeve tee fit is extremely comfortable with technical features you would expect for a piece of technical cycling wear like a mini –light rubber tab just below the single zipped rear pocket that has a multi media opening on the inside. The zipper is small and unobtrusive with a textured and shaped zipper pull that easy to operate even with full finger gloves on. Constructed with super strong flat lock seams through out and finished off with reflective logo’s front and back.

Nothing it’s a great technical tee

The Final Say

The Louis Garneau Palomar Tee is a well done crossover jersey that will please roadies and CX riders looking for a more relaxed look and feel for their more casual rides. MTB All-Mountain to DH riders will feel equally comfortable with a style they are more use to and enjoy technical features, fabrics with the quality construction LG is famous for.
