Attaquer All Day Jersey review: Tested over 10+ hours in the saddle

Attaquer’s All Day Jersey 2.0 has in line with the model been ‘designed for optimum consolation for the shortest to the very longest rides’. I not too long ago tackled my longest-ever bike experience at 178 miles – over 10 hours – and determined to tug 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 Extremely 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 minimize. 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 now have included the All Day jersey in our greatest biking jerseys information the place you possibly can take a look at the way it compares to different choices within the ‘all-rounder’ jersey class. 

Design and Aesthetics 

The All Day jersey appears 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 prospers to its biking attire and right here, there’s a mid-torso emblem on the entrance in addition to on the left sleeve. 

Shifting to the rear, an Attaquer emblem 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. All of it works and appears trendy to me, however any extra could be overdoing it, I feel. 

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 comfy garbage you’ll ever put on.” 

The jersey can be Oeko-Tex Normal 100 Licensed. I wasn’t aware of this textile certification however Oeko-Tex classements imply any garment bearing the label has handed security checks for the presence of dangerous substances. 

The edges, 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 highest of every pocket encompasses a chunky elastic band which helps with retention and construction. The underside of the jersey additionally makes use of a strong silicone gripper serving to it keep the place it ought to. 

 Efficiency  

I’m 65kg and 176cm for reference and examined a dimension small which fitted me very nicely. For those who’re often a dimension small in different jerseys, it’s true to dimension 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. In order for you a cushty jersey with out flap or extra materials the All Day 2.0 will match the invoice. 

Whereas I have been testing the jersey in numerous settings over latest months, its largest take a look at got here in a latest all-day experience. I began my experience at 6:30am and lined 178 miles, carrying 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 arduous. I don’t like the sensation of stuffed pockets bouncing round everywhere and the pockets are roomy sufficient however provide a very good compressive maintain. I carried a telephone, pump, keys, gilet and 9 bars and gels comfortably and neatly. 

The white printed field and emblem 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 when you’re dashing. I can’t say it induced me any points however I famous the texture was totally different. My gilet and pump took up many of the area 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 minimize and match, it’s properly fitted with none extra flap anyplace so you are feeling quick, however isn’t so tight as to be uncomfortable or restrictive over a protracted experience or for normal use. The sleeve size is bang on development 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 problem all day, deep into a protracted experience is typically the place the place sure issues begin to irritate you, chafe or niggle. However there was none of that right here, I used to be comfy all day, and it was additionally straightforward to function the zip one-handed. I didn’t have to present the jersey a single thought.

 Verdict  

I wouldn’t hesitate to experience all day within the Attaquer All Day jersey. It’s comfy 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 prefer to see, particularly on comparatively new package. 

There are many colors to select from and the purposeful but extra forgiving minimize ought to swimsuit most riders. At £125 / $155 / €155 it’s competitively priced for the premium highway biking jersey area. It’s going to, nonetheless, hold you comfy and feeling trendy, regardless of how lengthy the experience.
