Royal Racing Heritage jersey


With its baseball shirt styling and grey/black colour combo, the Heritage jersey looks the part off the bike and, for the non-hefty price tag of $45, turns in a good performance on it too. Most of that is down to the fit – it’s easy to move in without being too baggy and was long enough for even our tallest testers. The fabric is what we’d expect for the money – a standard wicking type. But the taped backof- neck seam is something usually only found on pricier jerseys and, if you’ve worn tops with lumpy seams or sharp-edged labels, you’ll know what a bonus this is. Our only concern with this jersey is that the logo print is sticky from new and we’re not sure how long it’ll survive bad laundry practice, but overall this is a good basic option at an affordable price.

Price $45
