JERSEYS Expressions of style, technical masterpieces or rudimentary pieces of cycle wear, a jersey says as much about the rider as the bike he/she chooses to ride. Whether you buy a cycle jersey motivated by emotion or features, let's try and make things clear.

The Retro / Design Look
Solo are without doubt the greatest exponents of the 'Retro style' in cycling right now. Their Classique and Équipe Jerseys are as much testaments to great design as they are to cycling's rich & colourful history. Don't let the 'retro' tag fool you though, Solo's Jerseys are technical pieces in their own right, and employ fabrics such as MAPP Matrix Merino to great effect. Whilst we're at it, let's add Campagnolo's Heritage line to the retro mix. Beatifully designed, they combine Campagnolo's technical mastery with a pleasing nod to the past.
The Technical Rider
If you talk about Research & Development, Craft of Sweden are right up there with the best. Not so well known in the UK (we're working on that), but highly popular in Europe, their Jerseys are both beautifully fitted and feature rich. If you want the ultimate in performance, fit and function then Craft is the brand for you. Not just for mere mortals however, Craft's Bike Range is also used by a certain World Champion British Racing Driver for his training and triathlon work.
Moving south from Scandinavia, and well worth consideration is Campagnolo's Racing Line of Jerseys. Full featured, race fitted and undoubtedly stylish, they are some of best performing cycling jerseys available for either serious training, racing, or riding in European Sportives.
A recent addition to the Always Riding site is the Spanish (or Basque) brand Etxeondo. Very popular in Europe, Etxeondo are revered as the makers of the highest quality bicycle apparel in the world. Choosing a jersey from Etxeondo is always going to be a good idea, and is the mark of a well informed and experienced rider.
Twin Six
Deserving of a special mention, Twin Six Jerseys are something different entirely. Technical yes, but Twin Six's strength lies in their incredible design work, and the story behind each piece. Check out 'The Speedy', 'Greaser' and 'Argyle' for great examples of their work.
