Club Jersey Capsule Col Du Galibier
Club Jersey Capsule Col Du Galibier
The Col Du Galibier has been a feature of the Tour de France since 1911 and for good reason - its a beast. The Big Hill only starts after you have already ascended your choice of 2 other significant hills - the Col Du Telegraphe on the northern side (11.8km at 7.3%) or the Col de Lauteret on the southern side (34.2km at 3.8%) . So you should be well warmed up before you begin the climb up to 2642m. This is no Box Hill.
Like everything in the Alps it's the scale that always gets you and this is no different - 42km if coming from the south side. Endless mountain peaks and never ending tarmac can make it seem quite lonely, sometimes an alien place to be especially on a heavy leg day but the reward from hitting the top is quite something.
It features on the Routes des Grande Alpes, a journey from Lage Geneva to the Mediterranean taking in all of the great French Alpine passes. This is denoted on the jersey but the red line down the back. The tonal pattern covering the jersey is one of multiple alpine summits and the chest logo and sleeve graphics are a nod to its inclusion in Le Tour since 1911. Finally the "HD" on the inside of the collar denotes the period you have just had having ridden the Galibier - HD = Hard Day.

Chest A and Centre Front B are Garment dimensions when measured laid flat.
We advise you to compare these flat measurements to a comparable garment (do not compare a jacket to a base layer for example) that you already own and like the fit of to help you work out which size to order from us. However, please remember this is a guide only - 2 garments with same flat dimensions but made of fabrics of different stretch will fit you very differently. If you'd rather buy 2 sizes and send the one back that doesn't fit, this is fine by us!
