The front zip is too short, which makes the front of the jersey too short

dhb kit always brings quality that surpasses its price tag, and that is true with this aero jersey.
But it’s not perfect. The fit is excellent in some places but misses the mark in others. The sleeves are great: a decent length, stay in place and are very aero. The fit in the body is also very good and clings to the rider in a way that minimises drag — just what you would expect from an aero jersey.

The front zip is not so good, though. The jersey is an aero cut so comes up higher at the bottom than you’d expect from a less racy garment.
However, this feature has been exaggerated and as such the zip is too short. You would need to ride everywhere on the drops, fully-tucked for the jersey to sit in the right place, so even if you were chewing on your stem in a crit this might still rise up too high.

The wicking material works well and drew sweat away on warm rides. A slight tweak to the fit and this would be a very good jersey indeed.
