Sometimes, you want performance yet still want to feel like you’re wearing something casual and comfy. Skin tight lycra can be great for racing but it’s not for everybody and we think we may well have found the perfect solution.

Nike has come up with this short sleeved design which certainly performs, even in race conditions, but surprisingly is everything you wouldn’t expect from a race jersey. It’s a relaxed fit with open cuffs and waist which makes for an incredibly comfy top. This also means it compliments all shapes nicely and doesn’t gather up at the back or ride up at all when you’re riding. We’ve tested it in the height of summer and the material wicks fantastically and keeps you nice and cool, the lightweight material is something you’ll instantly appreciate when you put the jersey on.

So, the fit is comfortable, cool, and practical, and there’s also a large single pocket along the rear. This is a great size to fit all your essential bits and bobs and gives you plenty of space unlike some tighter designs. The pocket zips up which is always helpful, so you don’t feel like you’re constantly checking that you haven’t dropped your keys along the way!
