Reggie sweater

The Reggie Retro Trainer was inspired by the sweaters that Reggie founder Jeff Wills wore in Belgium, where he rode and trained in 1991. “We were in the age of Lycra and hardshells, but we all trained in wool jerseys on the cooler days, which seemed like every day,” says the rider from Port Hope, Ont. “The guys I rode with all grew up racing in wool team jerseys, so I was always trying to trade for the coolest ones.” Now Wills makes a very cool jersey for cool weather.
