Very comfortable summer jersey with a great fit, but the price tag...
Jelenew Glider Short Sleeve Pro Jersey is a comfortable summer top with an excellent close fit. The fabrics have good eco-credentials and are breathable too. However, with a price over £200 this is very much a premium option, and I'd have preferred more than a couple of main rear pockets.Jelenew is a women's cycling and sports apparel brand whose products are designed in Paris, and the Glider Short Sleeve Pro Jersey is one of its premium summer tops.
I’m used to a three-pocket setup, and prefer having tools/tube in one pocket, my phone in another, and snacks in a third as I find it easier to keep things organised. If you’re also carrying a fold-up waterproof it would become more complicated to access your snacks while riding with only two pockets. I like knowing that my food has its own pocket, so I’m not at risk of accidentally pulling out my house key or something else when reaching for a bar.
The jersey also features a YKK zipper with guarded zipper ends at the top and bottom. While the top guard effectively prevents neck rubbing, the guard at the bottom makes it difficult to zip the jersey up and adds unnecessary complication to fastening the jersey. This isn't helped by the zip pull tag being quite small.
I have a size S, which is what I typically wear in brands such as Le Col and Bioracer. However, according to Jelenew's size guide, I should be a size M. I'm 5ft 8in with a long torso, so finding jerseys that don't ride up can be challenging, but the size S fits perfectly. It's form-hugging without being restrictive, so I would suggest sticking to your usual jersey size or sizing down if you prefer a tighter fit.
This is very much at the premium end of the market. The 7mesh Women's Skyline Jersey was £200 when we reviewed it but it is now priced at £150. Santini's Redux Stamina Women's Short Sleeve Jersey is priced at £151. Though, there are much cheaper summer jerseys offering high quality. For example, Santini's Colore Riga Women's Jersey is £80.
