Altura Mayhem jersey review

This is a T-shirt styled jersey, but one that has construction and style details that make it more than a basic. The fabric has a matt appearance that the testers all liked, and a more substantial feel than some, but is still light when you’re on the bike.

Together with the easy but not sloppy fit, it makes for a very comfortable ride. We really appreciated the lack of back label and taped seams – and, yes, it’s weird that a tiny thing like the unusual and slightly odd-looking envelope neck design can make such a difference, but it does.

The graphics are printed rather than sublimated so will eventually wear but at such a good price we wouldn’t give that a passing thought. It’s the sort of jersey we’d find easy to pull on and ride in day after day.
