Madison Flux LS jersey


THE FLUX HAS a light, airy feel and relaxed cut, but the balance feels wrong. The front is very roomy but the back less so, giving the impression that you’ve got the jersey on back to front. Once you’re on the bike, it’s very snug across the shoulders too.

This is a shame because the fabric is good – it wicks well, dries fast and doesn’t smell – although the seams of the open mesh panel set into the back are really noticeable when riding.

It doesn’t seem to be a sizing issue because the jersey fits everywhere else, and it lets down a potentially good riding top with broad appeal – the Flux’s style is quiet without being dull and it’s well featured, with two zipped pockets plus a lens cleaner.

PRICE 53$
