CRAFT VERVE GLOW
£60 › Technical fabric, fit and neat reflective detailing create a healthy Glow
Weight 140g (S) Sizes XS-XXXL Colours Blue, black, orange
The conservative-looking Verve Glow from Craft offers a more forgiving fit than most race jerseys, without being baggy. Up front, Craft uses a dimpled mesh fabric combined with highly breathable mesh underarm panels and smooth Lycra on the rear. Breathability is good and there is a full-length zip, with neck garage, to adjust when your temperature does start to rise. The Glow takes its name from the reflective details that can be found on the chest and rear, which are great to help you be seen by other road users as the longer summer nights begin to fade. The Verve features plenty of stash space in the four rear pockets including one zipped, plus there’s an earphone port too. This is a good option for those looking for a good value and generous fitting jersey.
INSIDE INFO
Clothing care Don’t just throw your dirty riding kit in a hot wash with your regular clothes after a ride. Modern fabrics may be hard wearing but they need to be washed and cared for appropriately to keep them working at their best. Follow the washing instructions carefully and consider what you wash your cycle kit with. Most suggest to avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying, and fortunately cycle clothing is relatively quick drying. Some manufacturers also suggest to avoid drying your kit in direct sunlight to reduce fading. After prolonged use, even kit that features antibacterial treatments can stink despite washing. Dedicated sports laundry detergents can help here.
