Fox Attack Pro jersey


There’s a lot of science behind the Attack Pro jersey. The sleeves are made from four-way-stretch Cordura, which feels relatively heavy and is deliberately used that way to increase durability where it matters. They felt like they were going to be too tight, but once on the bike, they fitted perfectly and articulated well. Lighter-weight Polartec Delta is used through the body, which also has a slim fit. It’s a jersey that feels like it’ll be warm but doesn’t overheat easily out on the trails. When it does get sweaty, it dries before you know it. Straight off the shelf, the contrasting fabrics mean it looks and feels a little odd – as if the sleeves belong to another top altogether. It’s a jersey that needs to be ridden in ‘in anger’ in order to appreciate all of that technology properly.

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception. If you’re after a really well priced and well sorted complete bike package for jump, street and even better-groomed trail centre action then the P.Street is outstanding.
