The Alternative Thermal Bundle from Isadore combines three core garments—the Alternative Light Long Sleeve Jersey, Alternative Light Vest and Thermal Long Sleeve Baselayer—into a single kit designed for cool-weather cycling. Each piece is manufactured from 100 percent recycled materials: the jersey and vest feature a 200 g/m² brushed interior recycled polyester fabric, while the baselayer blends recycled nylon and polyester for insulating warmth without excess bulk. Priced at €299 and available in sizes XS–XXL, the bundle is offered through Isadore’s online store with free standard EU shipping on orders over €150.

Isadore’s sustainability approach is underpinned by the use of Global Recycled Standard–certified rPET, sourcing post-consumer plastic bottles to offset virgin polymer production. Approximately 300 g of recycled PET—equivalent to thirty 0.5 L bottles—is used per jersey, significantly reducing resource consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. The brand also employs biodegradable packaging, maintains traceable supply chains, and provides a repair-and-replacement discount programme to extend product lifecycles, all aimed at advancing a circular economy model within performance cycling apparel.
