Supreme comfort and versatility but the fabric isn't without its flaws

Cycling Weekly Verdict

We've tested a few Velocio jerseys over the years but we'd rate this one the most versatile to date. The fabrics are super soft and stretchy: it's a luxury to pull on. The jersey performs in a good range of temperatures - the recycled fabric offers excellent breathability and wicking properties that shine in hot weather and on short, intense rides. Roomy rear pockets offer enough space for provisions associated with longer rides. Our only reservations come with the delicate nature of the fabric and its tendency to cling to odours.

Emma’s first encounters with a bike were in between swimming and running. Soon after competing for GB in the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Edmonton in 2001 she saw the light and decided to focus on cycling. 

With a couple of half decent UK road seasons under her belt, she went out to Belgium to sample the racing there, spending two years with Lotto-Belisol Ladies team, racing alongside the likes of Sara Carrigan, Grace Verbeke, Rochelle Gilmore and Lizzie Deignan. Emma moved from Lotto-Belisol to Dutch team Redsun, working primarily as a domestique for Emma Johansson. When Redsun folded, Emma was offered the opportunity to ride with a newly formed Belgian team and home to the first year senior and budding rider Anna Van Der Breggen.

After retiring, Emma returned to teaching, setting up her own tutoring business. When not coercing kids to do maths, she is invariably out on two wheels. While the road bike remains her true passion, she has also developed an addiction to touring, with destinations including Iceland, Georgia and Albania, to mention just a few. There have also been sightings of Emma off-road, on mountain and gravel bikes… As if all of this isn't enough, she's been working as a freelancer since 2005, testing and reviewing the latest kit and sharing her insight into the sport.
