Attaquer’s OrbKnit jersey, already a standout in the Australian brand’s premium lineup, arrived with a refreshed set of colours at the end of September, perfectly timed for Australia’s warmer-weather riding and, for me in Arizona, the start of fall.
With its sculpted knit construction, rich palette, and race-oriented cut, the OrbKnit positions itself firmly in the top tier of modern cycling apparel. Even in today’s crowded high-end kit market, it manages to carve out its own identity through thoughtful colour choices, sharp branding and a tactile feel that’s hard to match.
When my sample arrived, though, things took an unexpected turn: the sizing was slightly off. My partner, also a cyclist, spotted an opportunity and slipped it on. The fit wasn’t perfect, but it was close enough to make me think about the kit's viability for men and women, especially since every colourway is available in both cuts. Attaquer were willing to send along a true women’s cut for my partner, which allowed us to test the jersey out together. So consider this something of a “his and hers” first impression.
