Attaquer’s All Day Jersey 2.0 has based on the model been ‘designed for optimum consolation for the shortest to the very longest rides’. I lately tackled my longest-ever bike experience at 178 miles – over 10 hours – and determined to drag on the All Day jersey and put its title to the take a look at.

The All Day Jersey 2.0 sits alongside a number of others within the model’s vary together with the Race and Ultra Aero+ jerseys. The model’s ‘All Day’ assortment additionally options bib shorts three-quarter-length tights and full-length bib tights tights. In a nutshell, the jersey guarantees all-day consolation, with a figure-hugging, racy lower. It’s out there in seven colors and is priced at £125 / US$155 / €155. 

My take a look at jersey was the ‘pine’ color as pictured. We have included the All Day jersey in our greatest biking jerseys information the place you may try the way it compares to different choices within the ‘all-rounder’ jersey class. 

Design and Aesthetics 

The All Day jersey seems to be good within the ‘pine’ color, however there are a number of different choices together with black, burnt orange and eggshell. Design-wise, Attaquer likes so as to add loads of further thrives to its biking attire and right here, there’s a mid-torso brand on the entrance in addition to on the left sleeve. 

Moving to the rear, an Attaquer brand runs vertically down the again, there may be additionally a white circle on the neck and a half-in, half-out-of-the-middle-pocket white color block with extra data on the All Day assortment. It all works and appears fashionable to me, however any extra could be overdoing it, I believe. 

The jersey is designed in Australia and manufactured in China from 90% recycled polyamide and 10% elastane. Attaquer states that the All Day jersey is “essentially the most snug garbage you’ll ever put on.” 

The jersey can also be Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified. I wasn’t conversant in this textile certification however Oeko-Tex classements imply any garment bearing the label has handed security assessments for the presence of dangerous substances. 

The sides, shoulders, sleeves and a part of the collar are all a mesh materials. The jersey has three good-sized pockets and one neat zippered one on the right-hand facet. The prime of every pocket includes a chunky elastic band which helps with retention and construction. The backside of the jersey additionally makes use of a strong silicone gripper serving to it keep the place it ought to. 

 Performance  

I’m 65kg and 176cm for reference and examined a measurement small which fitted me very properly. If you are often a measurement small in different jerseys, it’s true to measurement and the identical as loads of different manufacturers’ sizing. I agree with Attaquer’s description of the jersey, which says it’s figure-hugging and racy however isn’t a hyper-tight aero quantity. If you desire a snug jersey with out flap or extra materials the All Day 2.0 will match the invoice. 

While I’ve been testing the jersey in numerous settings over latest months, its greatest take a look at got here in a latest all-day experience. I began my experience at 6:30am and coated 178 miles, sporting the jersey for greater than 12 hours. I began in a gilet very first thing, however eliminated it later and rode with arm heaters and a skinny base layer for the remainder of the day with the temperature within the low and mid-teens. 

I used to be carrying much more meals than regular for my experience, and the primary two hours of the day have been spent on my native chaingang. The All Day pockets held my further gels and bars solidly which I used to be proud of, particularly when driving exhausting. I don’t like the sensation of stuffed pockets bouncing round in every single place and the pockets are roomy sufficient however provide compressive maintain. I carried a cellphone, pump, keys, gilet and 9 bars and gels comfortably and neatly. 

The white printed field and brand above the center pocket create a unique texture and If I used to be actually splitting hairs I’d say this maybe makes slipping sure objects into the center pocket barely more durable, particularly at tempo or if you find yourself speeding. I can’t say it precipitated me any points however I famous the texture was completely different. My gilet and pump took up many of the house on this center pocket, so I didn’t delve into it an excessive amount of in the course of the day.  

I used to be proud of the jersey lower and match, it’s properly fitted with none extra flap anyplace so you’re feeling quick, however isn’t so tight as to be uncomfortable or restrictive over a protracted experience or for basic use. The sleeve size is bang on pattern proper now I might say and the sleeves stayed in place and didn’t experience up, one thing that doesn’t occur on each jersey. 

The jersey didn’t give me a single situation all day, deep into a protracted experience is usually the place the place sure issues begin to irritate you, chafe or niggle. But there was none of that right here, I used to be snug all day, and it was additionally simple to function the zip one-handed. I didn’t have to provide the jersey a single thought.

 Verdict  

I wouldn’t hesitate to experience all day within the Attaquer All Day jersey. It’s snug and has fascinating options like nice-length sleeves and a zippered pocket for valuables. My solely niggle is the lettering on the entrance showing to already be cracking barely which I by no means wish to see, particularly on comparatively new package. 

There are loads of colors to select from and the purposeful but extra forgiving lower ought to swimsuit most riders. At £125 / $155 / €155 it’s competitively priced for the premium street biking jersey house. It will, nevertheless, preserve you snug and feeling fashionable, regardless of how lengthy the experience.
