DHB Long Sleeve Tribe Jersey - tested

DHB Jersey
Svelte in all black

This is a great looking, highly practical jersey that is just begging for Spring to come along. As with other DHB clothing we have tested this jersey is well thought out and represents great value for money.

The multi-panelled design gives it a flattering shape and a comfortable fit, as well allowing for the colours to be used in an interesting way. The jersey has a half zip, deep enough to give great ventilation and it is easy to open and close on the bike. Interestingly, there is a wind flap under the zip, which gives added protection against the wind. This feature, usually only found on jackets, works really well on jerseys and is worth looking out for if you want to keep warm.

There are also three useful rear pockets, one of which is zipped giving confidence to take along valuable essentials (mobile phone, car keys and money) without fear of them dropping out, whatever terrain you encounter.

The fabric has a fleecy lining, which feels great next to the skin, and also makes it warm. I wore it with one full sleeve base layer and was warm and dry, which suggests both the wicking qualities of the fabric and thermal properties live up to their promises.

The colours (if you opt for the red/white/grey) are bright enough to give good visibility, and in addition, the logos are made of a reflective material, to give a little extra safety.

    2nd Opinion

    Apart from hot summer days you'll be glad you've got the DHB Tribe jersey, it's ideal as a mid layer for cold weather winter ridng and as an outer layer in Spring and Autumn on dry days. Fit is comfortable thanks to the multiple panels, way more than found on standard jerseys, so the arms and shoulders provide free movement whilst being close fitting too. A 'must try' womens jersey.
