Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the Active Extreme 2.0 compare to the Active Comfort jerseys for long endurance rides?

  Active Extreme 2.0 has an aggressive, close-to-body cut with a nearly seamless torso and a Lycra‑free design aimed at high-output efforts, while Active Comfort uses a semi-relaxed fit that suits broader physiques and steady endurance miles. Pick Active Extreme 2.0 for aerodynamic, high-intensity training or racing and Active Comfort when you want a bit more room for longer, mixed-pace rides.
• What are the key differences between the Infinity C2 and Infinity C1 bib shorts and which should I choose?

  The Infinity C2 uses a medium/high‑density three‑layer foam pad for greater shock absorption, whereas the Infinity C1 uses a precision‑cut two‑piece pad that reduces material waste by about 25–30% and delivers a lighter, close-contact feel. Choose C2 if you prioritize extra cushioning for rough roads or long days; choose C1 if you want a lighter, more sustainable pad with targeted support.
• How should I size Craft jerseys and bibs to get the intended ergonomic, body‑mapped fit?

  Use Craft’s size chart and measure chest, waist, and hips to match the brand’s body‑mapping fit—Active Extreme 2.0 runs closer to the body while Active Comfort is semi‑relaxed. If you plan to layer base layers or prefer more mobility, size up one; if you want a race fit for maximum control, stick to the measured size.
• What fabrics and construction features does Craft use to manage moisture and comfort during high‑intensity rides?

  Craft combines technical fabrics (typically around 70% polyester / 30% polyamide) with body‑mapped panels, superlight mesh under the arms and at cuffs, and almost seam‑free torsos to wick sweat away and speed drying. These materials and targeted construction reduce irritation, maintain next‑to‑skin comfort, and help regulate microclimate during sustained efforts.
• Are Craft jackets and vests suitable for variable weather during endurance rides, and how should I use them?

  Yes, Craft jackets and vests are built from quick‑drying, heat‑retaining synthetics and are designed for layering; a lightweight vest works well for changing conditions while a jacket provides more warmth and wind protection. Combine them with a moisture‑managing base layer (like Active Comfort or Active Extreme 2.0) and adjust layers based on intensity and expected temperature swings.
