Prendas Bordeaux-Paris race jersey review

Prendas pays tribute to Tom Simpson's Bordeaux-Paris win with this jersey from its Forgotten Races collection

Prendas Bordeaux-Paris race jersey
Cycling Weekly Verdict

For a penny under £60 you can't argue with the Prendas Bordeaux-Paris race jersey. The fit is very good and the design lends itself to suit a number of short or gilet combinations. However, the sleeves feel very dated and annoyed me when out riding.
