There are two women’s long sleeve jerseys in Sportful’s Winter 2013 collection, we’ve been sent the cheaper, albeit only marginally, Show jersey. Apart from colour ways, there’s not a lot between the Show and Vento jerseys. Perhaps the camlock full length zipper and being  5 grams heavier makes the Vento worth the extra RRP £5.

It’s clear the Show Jersey is built for winter weather. Slipping the medium on to my size 10 frame, the fleece TDTxp fabric that lined the entire jersey was both warm and soft to the touch. Initially the arms felt too long for the length of the torso, but as I settled into the jacket, this fear was allayed.

The 100% Polyester long sleeve jersey feels incredibly stretchy and like the base layer is long in the body at 74cm (just over 29 inches) from collar to hem. The jersey also has a full length zipper and 3 external rear pockets. There’s a smidge of reflective detailing on the sides of the rear pockets.

There is no silicone on the bottom of the jersey, however there is a band of elastic, so that should do the job of keeping it from exposing our derriere. We can’t wait for a crisp autumnal day to test this long sleeve Show jersey out!
