The Desperado isn’t a jersey we’d necessarily have picked off the shelf, but the more we wear it, the more we appreciate its benefits. Made from a mix of merino wool (47 per cent) and polyester (53 per cent), the comfort level is high. On chillier mornings, we appreciated the warm feel that the wool brings to the fabric. As the temperatures rose, the jersey never felt overly hot. The inclusion of polyester in the merino yarn means it dries faster than a standard wool jersey too. As we’ve come to expect from 7mesh, the fit is immaculate. A properly articulated cut and long, dipped back hem make it a joy to ride in. Add the natural no-smell benefits of merino and the result is top comfort and performance even during multiday trips. There’s a choice of four (subdued) colours too.
