The Phantom feels like a cross between a casual baselayer (we actually ended up using it as one this spring) and a slim-fitting jersey. It’s made from a lightweight fabric with a smooth, silk-like feel. This wicks well, and the back panel has a more open knit for increased breathability. As a result, it stays comfortable when things start to get warm. The arms are plenty long enough. While another couple of inches on the back hem wouldn’t hurt, especially for taller riders, it’s not a deal breaker. This is a good, well-priced basic bike top with the twist of a nice extra functional detail, in the form of a sewn-in lens wipe.We like the styling, too – it’s stealthy enough for ninja riders but with a bit of interest on the sleeves for those who don’t love neon but don’t want to be dull.
