The Attaquer ALL DAY line received an entire refresh in Might, and that is the second iteration I’ve examined. The primary stays in my rotation, and this newest edit is a wonderful refinement worthy of the “all day” label.
The TL;DR is that this: In the event you’re tall and you want form-fitting, very snug kits with all the correct options and nothing pointless, purchase this. The colours are very good, too. The lengthy model, with convincing photographs, is as follows…
Design Highlights
Past simply being a really snug equipment, my favourite factor about Attaquer’s ALL DAY line is that the legs and sleeves are lengthy. I’m 6’2″ with common appendage lengths, and I like that the leg opening sit simply above my knees. I additionally love that the arms cowl my whole biceps.
And so they keep that means all through the journey. Some jerseys I’ve find yourself with the arms driving up all through the day, however not these, they usually do it solely by way of good compression from the stretch mesh, which could be very breathable.
The legs get a a lot wider compression band with a small strip of grippy dots on the backside. None of it’s overly tight, so I didn’t seem like a sausage, however they work. Every part stays put even for those who’re dancing on the pedals…such as you’ve received… ants. In your pants.
Couldn’t resist. However critically. I find it irresistible. In the event you’re tall, cease studying right here, purchase right here, and luxuriate in your journey.
Additionally they have deep cargo pockets on each legs, which is all however a requirement for me on any journey longer than 90 minutes. These are large enough for an iPhone, a couple of Clif Bars, and virtually anything you’d wish to shove there. Even an motion digicam.
The bib’s materials is Italian, largely Oeko-Tex licensed recycled, with a “proprietary Italian two-piece multi-zone chamois with re-engineered floor material” that’s very snug. As scorching because it’s been this summer season, I’ve soaked it in sweat, and it appears to maneuver that moisture out shortly – no issues with swamp butt or chafing in any respect.
The entrance of the straps are huge and ultra-soft, so no chafing on the nips, both. The again strap is wider than most, which isn’t as scorching as I believed it might be, and it does really feel very supportive and retains the remainder of the bibs from shifting round.
The physique of the jersey is a bit quick in comparison with the arms, however it lands at simply the correct spot. I’m exaggerating the attain into the pockets a bit right here, however they do sit greater and require a bit extra of an elbow-and-shoulder hike to get into them. That mentioned, there are 5 of them, with two smaller ones on the edges for gels, and many others. Bolstered sew factors preserve issues collectively even with the open mesh.
The zipper is simple to open and shut with one hand, whereas driving. I do want there was a tiny zipper storage on the high, as there have been a couple of instances after I may really feel the highest of it poking my neck, however largely solely when standing round… it’s a low collar and this was by no means a problem whereas driving.
All of the mesh and “seersucker” sleeve/shoulder material preserve it breezy, and light-weight. Claimed weight is simply 128g, and it looks like nothing on.
The colours for this season are muted, plus black (as a result of, after all). I’d most likely keep away from the eggshell-on-eggshell combo, suggesting that you just combine and match some colours from high to backside, however you do you.
These aren’t low-cost – $320 for the bibshorts, and $195 for jerseys. However I nonetheless suggest them. My authentic ALL DAY equipment exhibits no indicators of damage even after a couple of years of use, and I put on it loads. So, they final, and a really snug all day equipment that disappears whereas driving is kinda priceless.
