Endura MT500 Print II

£37.99

This is a limited edition print, so you’d best be quick if you love it. But it was more than just the eye-catching graphic style of the MT500 Print II that stood out during testing. It can be hard to deconstruct why a jersey finds its way to the top of the riding pile time after time, but it normally comes down to one thing – it simply feels good to wear. In the case of the Endura jersey, much of that is down to the fabric, which is very lightweight, with an airy quality that means it wicks efficiently and dries fast. It also has a smooth feel, which makes layering – whether over armour or under a jacket (it’s been a cold spring) – easy. The fit is relaxed but not too baggy, so it sits well when you’re riding and doesn’t flap. Slim sleeves help anchor the loose-fitting body – a design feature that only works if the sleeves fit well, and these do, falling into a good shape on the bike and allowing ample freedom of movement. When it comes to bike jerseys, we always talk about fit and fabric in conjunction, and the (usually correct) assumption is that there’s a trade-off of one or the other if you want to hit a wallet-friendly price point. But the MT500 Print II delivers a good-quality fabric, great fit and high level of comfort, all for just under £40. That makes it a winning jersey that we anticipate wearing all summer and beyond. http://endura.co.uk
