Fox Attack jersey


THE ATTACKWAS one of only two jerseys on test to pass the ‘feels just right test’ so it’s no surprise that it shares the highest score. It takes the overall winner’s spot too because every detail of what at first appears to be a straightforward technical T-shirt is so exceptionally well thought through and executed.

Flatlock seams throughout mean no lumps or bumps and a chafe-free finish. They complement the ultra-smooth main body fabric, which has worn well despite its silk-like feel and shows no signs of ride-fatigue despite being picked from the pile more often than not as the days have warmed up.

The back is made from what’s described as a ‘structured mesh.’ In real terms on the bike, that means its more open knit helps keep you cool, plus it’s extremely effective at wicking away sweat and then drying. With the addition of venting holes down the sides, this means it’s as comfortable a jersey as we’ve ever worn in hot weather.

The V neck and the panel construction of the shoulders help create a fit that’s neat and relaxed at the same time, and while it might be a tiny exaggeration to say the Attack moves like it’s part of you, it’s pretty damn good. A long dropped tail and cleanly overlocked hem are the finishing touches that keep things sleek if you want to tuck it in, but keep you covered in style if you want to let it all hang out. A worthy winner.
