Pactimo Clothing has traditionally focused on custom cycling attire, such as team kits. They also offer a variety of cool jerseys made-to-order, including their state series and Jerseys for a Cause, which benefits a particular organization or cause each time someone buys a jersey. But Pactimo also offers a catalog of standard apparel, and now, for the first time, they are offering a mountain bike kit.
I tested out the new Women’s Apex kit recently, and was pretty impressed. The Apex Jersey is super lightweight and breathable. The back and sleeves are made of a mesh-like fabric that offers great air flow on hot days and wicks moisture really well, even while wearing a hydration pack. The front of the shirt is made of a soft, abrasion-resistant material that feels good against the skin. All around, it’s a really comfortable piece of clothing. Even on some really hot, humid days, this shirt did a nice job of keeping me as cool as possible.
There aren’t any pockets in the Apex Jersey, not even a little one, but I didn’t find that to be an issue at all. I actually found that not having the extra seams added to the comfort of the shirt, and I rarely use jersey pockets anyway, so I didn’t miss them. The simple design allows for a very comfortable pairing with a hydration pack as well.
The women’s Apex Jersey features a long and lean contoured cut. It’s form-fitting enough to be flattering and not feel like a tent, while retaining plenty of room for movement and air flow.
The Apex comes in both a short-sleeve and long-sleeve version, sizes XS-XXL. There are three different color options–gray/pink (pictured), gray/teal, and gray, pink, and orange. These are some pretty bold and colorful, yet tasteful, jerseys that feel as good as they look.
MSRP: $50

Thanks to Pactimo for providing me with the Apex Jersey to review.
