BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"Super-cheap, super-sleek race jersey with built-in go-faster stripes!"

Fri 23 May 2008, 12:00 pm UTCBy Cara Coolbaugh

Altura's Synchro jersey is fit for any kind of riding and racing. 

It's made from wicking, quick-drying Meryl microfibre which is soft, light and stretchy as well as body skimming and comfortable. 

The cut is long enough for taller riders and raglan sleeves keep shoulders comfy under packs. 

The collar comes up nice and high. The zip is a little on the short side, but has a neat cover at the top that keeps the zipper end from rubbing the skin. 

Waist elastic is at just the right tension to keep things in place.

In the heat, it doesn't feel as dry, or dry as quickly, as meshier weaves, as there's less air flow through the fabric. It has anti-UV power for sensible protection from the sun though. 

There's one zippered rear pocket and a tiny reflective logo. Silicone gripper keeps the hem in place.
