iXS SCUL Backcountry jersey


ANOTHER TECHNICAL BIKE T-shirt, the SCUL is made from a lightweight stretchy mesh and has a boxy cut that’s baggily comfortable on the bike.

The material doesn’t feel too horribly synthetic and on warm spring rides we found it to wick sweat away efficiently and then dry quickly too. It does get somewhat smelly though, encouraging you to make use of the hanging loop to air it off should you wish to dodge a wash between rides.

There’s a glasses wipe and small zipped pocket plus a taped neck seam, making it a well featured and well made jersey for the money. If you favour unfussy styling and a more natural fabric feel but need your top to still work hard, then this is definitely one to consider.

PRICE 64$
