Bike Apparel Reviews

The Fusion makes a great outer layer, worn with a wind-blocking base layer underneath. At 240 grams, it weighs half as much as other synthetic microfleece jerseys I've tested, and it has a trio of large pockets that don't sag when loaded. The pique-like Techno fabric is soft on the underside, providing close-to-body warmth, but breathes quite well, too, and wicks sweat rapidly. The fabric saves grams by not having a solid outer-face finish, which makes it susceptible to snagging on branches if you ride off-road.

Buy It If: You need warmth without bulk
Forget It If: You ride exclusively in the woods; this isn't burly enough
