 Arm  On Bike  Rear $120.94
Ireland has produced some of the world's most tenacious pro-riders. The Dempsey’s jersey is dedicated to the tough and talented cyclists of Ireland.
 Solo cycle clothing was formed by two friends who loved the styles worn by the pro-riders of the 1950's - 1970's. Simple, powerful designs which demonstrated that less is more. They searched worldwide for clothing that had the flair and emotion of that age. Nothing existed. It was then that they realised that there must be other cyclists who felt the same. So the two friends decided to put their cycling and design backgrounds to good use and create something special: cycle clothing that made you want to ride - rain or shine. Taking their inspiration from the great riders, grand tours, equipment and cycling culture of that golden era, Solo's mission is to produce the most beautiful cycling jerseys in the world - jerseys made for like-minded souls. We think they've succeeded. Just like those classic jerseys, Solo jerseys are about more than wearing a sponsors logo on your chest. Each jersey has a story to tell - your own story of epic rides, punctures, road grit, stinging rain in the eyes and sweeping downhill in warm winds. Solo believe that cycling culture is much more than crossing the finish line first. It is about ethics, determination, companionship, spirit, honour, mystery and brotherhood. It is about how you feel heading home after spending the day on your bike. Or the post-training espresso with cycling friends who have shared the hardship of the road.

2 reviews for Solo Dempsey's Jersey

I love the design and fit of this jersey, but recently the fabric has begun to pill in about a dozen places, showing unsightly white spots and threads on the front. Haven't had this problem with other jerseys.

'My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as could be' is a line from the song 'Dublin, In The Rare Ould Times'.
Solo have used the name Dempsey for their Irish themed jersey with a simple celtic design on the front and rear on a green background. A very simple design of the type that I prefer nowadays.
Sport X is a nice quality material with 3 pockets and the advantage of a zipped pocket for cash or mobile phone and a thicker cotton collar. It performs well though a longer front zip for summer use would be nice.
The fit is certainly tighter, more Italian perhaps, than I usually expect from NZ brands. I was going to get a small but decided on a medium after looking at the model pictured showing quite a fitted jersey. It is perhaps still a tad tighter than a couple of other jerseys I wear. I also found the neck a bit tight with the zip up and I always leave it an inch or so down.
It is recommended but size up if in doubt.
