Reticulated foam. Laser cuts. A breathable rain jacket that weighs as much as an empty water bottle. A vest that packs down to the size of two gels. These are but a few of the highlights of the road clothing shown at the massive Eurobike trade show in Friedrichshafen, Germany last week. Here we take you through some of our favourites.

Founded by seven former long-term members of Arc'teryx, 7mesh makes cycling clothes with an emphasis on the tech. Some of that is the materials — as Gore and Castelli battled back and forth for the lightest rain jacket using Gore's new Active fabric, 7mesh trumped them both with the 97g Oro Jacket (in size large!).

Some of 7mesh's tech story is in construction. For instance, the G2 Jersey features a high-loft, low-Lycra material with a unique back pattern that forms into the cycling position. "We are trying to get away from Lycra, as that is what holds moisture," said 7mesh director of marketing Brian Goldstone.
7mesh isn't a flashy brand, nor one with any pro-team sponsorship. But the hyper-techy clothing is worth a look
