Sportful Bodyfit Pro W jersey review

With its raw-cut finishes and breathable mesh panels, we give the Sportful Bodyfit Pro W jersey a ride to see if it lives up to its second-skin claims

Sportful Bodyfit Pro W Jersey
Cycling Weekly Verdict

The women's-specific Sportful Bodyfit Pro W jersey fits like a second skin while remaining lightweight and incredibly breathable, making it equally an ideal option for a fast-paced race or a hot and hilly challenge ride. But with such lightweight credentials, it may limit the jersey's wearability just to the hottest days of summer, making it more expensive in a cost-per-wear calculation.

You probably already know we're big fans of Sportful, believing that it genuinely offers bike riders great-value, good-looking and well-fitting kit, so I had huge expectations when testing the Sportful Bodyfit Pro W jersey.

The entire aim of the Bodyfit collection is to provide a second-skin fit and indeed it's been developed and worn by the Sportful teams and riders such as Alberto Contador for Trek-Segafredo and Vincenzo Nibali for Bahrain-Merida, both of who are wearing the men's version of the Bodyfit Pro at this year's Tour de France.
