Nike Team Vest

Cool and comfortable

There's something horribly unfeminine about a classic cyclist's tan so thankfully we had the Nike Team vest on test this weekend whilst baking under the summer sun! The sleeveless design meant that no hideous white lines appeared to spoil a healthy all-arm glow (sun cream protected of course!).

The Team vest from Nike is constructed from DriFit fabric that wicks sweat away from the skin and dries super fast too for high performance wear when you need it most. It didn't even smell too bad considering the hours worth of sweat and mud smeared all over it.

The fit is flattering and snug, not super tight for a race only style, but sleek enough for road use as well as looking casual to wear off-road too. The shoulders are cropped well beyond bra straps, hydration pack or rucksac straps and seemed to make arms look slender too, always a bonus! On the front the long zip reaches to the belly button, so you can control ventilation to suit your under garments! There's a high neckline, more for style rather than warmth we reckon, anyway it looks good and feels comfortable too.

The rear has three pockets, just big enough to carry a spare water bottle and enough room for spares and food too. Tthere's a reflective logo on the middle pocket, which is handy should you get caught out after dark.

Available in two tone colours including white/green, black/pink, blue/black

Is it just me or are most of the womens jerseys somewhat lacking in the useful pocket department?

My winter jerseys are very nice looking, but both have just one pocket. On one the pocket is quite small, the other is large but has a 'conceled zip' which means it looks nice if it's empty, but you can't get anything out of it when you are on the bike!

I've been looking for some short sleeved jerseys and seem to be discovering the same problem. They are designed to look nice but seem useless if you need to get access to them on the bike.

Am i the only girl that carries and wants easy access to a phone, spare tubes, food, maps etc in a back pocket?

If anyone has nicely styled short sleeved jerseys with at least two ...
