Thanks to team SO1O (http://www.solocycleclothing.com) for sending along one of their Retro- tech Classique jerseys. I got the Dempsey model with the nice rich deep green colors and noticed right away the high quality zipper construction. The zipper is often the first thing  to break on jerseys so it’s something that I notice. I’m a pretty tall guy and lots of cycle wear comes up short on my torso. This is especially annoying when warming up on the cyclocross track and trying to raise your core temperature. Having your kidneys exposed is a fast-track to heat loss. The SO1O jersey I got has a nice long torso and a grip strip at the hem that keeps the garment from riding up. It has a lower profile than the old elastic band style and is holding up nicely. The best part is the colors match our local football club, and I can represent on my ride to the game! Thanks SO1O.
