Altura Curve review

Redesigned from last year, the Curve has benefited from a feminisation of style. The shape is rather rectangular, but with contrast-stitched princess seams it has a flattering drape and is figure forgiving.

Flattering and forgiving style in cooling Altec Fabric. Ideal leisure top

Redesigned from last year, the Curve has benefited from a feminisation of style. The shape is rather rectangular, but with contrast-stitched princess seams it has a flattering drape and is figure forgiving.

Atlec fabric feels very soft and cool to the touch and dries quickly despite the dense weave. The cut is looser overall with raglan sleeves and open hems at the arm holes. This gives great airflow and along with the short front zip, there's hardly a chance for sweat to build up.

There's a single hidden pocket on the back-side that's best used for small, light objects as anything heavy can weight it down awkwardly. With it's non-bikey look, the Curve would suit many leisure cyclists and tourers too as it's easy to wash and dry, packs down well and the loose cut blends in with the local scene better than a jersey.
