A well-made and aerodynamic jersey that's ideal for high-performance summer riding
At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything but we do try to look for weak points in any design.
The main material feels thin and soft to your skin, while the arms feel excellent: incredibly soft and silky – with a little tug required to get them into the right position. As you'd expect from an aero jersey, the sleeves come right down to just above the elbow.The seamwork is nicely done and didn't cause any rubbing during rides.
I have to agree with what Ekoi says about the raglan sleeves. They do seem to add to a feedom of movement, so even though the jersey was snug, it didn't feel restrictive. In terms of aero, the Ekoï Checks jersey is a close-fit cut to hug your silhouette perfectly. The aero lines fabric used for the sleeves literally presses the material on to your forearms to optimize air penetration.
This is a good aero jersey that kept me cool on warm rides, though I'd have preferred a lighter colour.The arm material is really silky and fits nice and snugly on the arms.I'm not a huge fan of the Ekoi branding but that's just personal choice, and the appearance also feels a little dated – at least to me. Performance-wise I haven't got any complaints, though the price – at least at its RRP – is high.
