It seems as though the weather, in the UK at least, has a sense of timing this year. The minute September arrived the heavy meteorological gloom set in and I began scrambling to put away all the mesh options from my enormous stash of the best cycling jerseys, replacing them on the hanger with sensible long sleeve options. In days gone by long sleeve cycling jerseys were a winter option only; heavy roubaix fabric abounded, leaving riders a choice between being clammy and sweaty, or cold and shivery.
Thankfully nowadays things have moved on somewhat, and we have lightweight long sleeve options on the table. The Maap Evade Pro LS Jersey 2.0 is one such option, and one I am a big fan of for those fast autumnal rides where you’re just finishing in the dark. It is definitely less useful when things get properly cold, but for this time of year - in the northern hemisphere at least - it really comes into its own.
