Race Face have nailed the ‘tee that makes you want to ride’ with a great colour choice and graphics. The hand-knit fabric has a cottonlike feel and does its work on the bike without making you feel like you’re wearing a ‘performance’ top if you pair it with jeans for a post-ride trip to the pub. A good cut and plenty of stretch in the material ensure you can move around on the bike freely. Our only wish would be for a tad more refinement in the construction. The long back-of-neck label can irritate, so we’d snip it out right away, and the seams are somewhat chunky. That isn’t a problem for casual riding – which, to be fair, is what this top is best suited to – but isn’t ideal if you’re going to be wearing a pack for any length of time.
