The Club Ride Tweet Women’s Jersey is a great top for warm summer days, and will go some way to remove your cyclist’s tan lines. It is a fairly figure-hugging ‘sport fit’ but the contrasting patterned side panels make your torso look slimmer in a flattering fashion.

The body is a decent length – the same at front and back – so there’s no risk of exposing your lower back to sunburn or cold draughts when you’re in the saddle. The shallow scoop neck has a short zip so you can flash a bit of cleavage if you fancy.

The Tweet is constructed from Club Ride’s Sheer2Dry fabric – breathable, wicking and quick-drying polyester. Like its Bandit jersey, it features built-in factor 20 sun protection (but unlike it there are no mesh inserts).

The Tweet on test is in Divine Wine and the fabric has a slight sheen to it; there’s also a patterned Divine Spin (like a reverse of the Divine Wine), or if you prefer a matt appearance you can buy it in Cobalt which looks more like soft cotton.

The designers have had a bit of fun with the two rear pockets. These are lined in the contrasting material and have teardrop-shaped openings. They are easy to access and large enough to accommodate a spare tube and banana. The right-hand one has a media port for threading your earphones through, but there’s no collar loop like on the Bandit.

A nod to road safety is the reflective CR logo on the front left hip and the reflective Ride Daily tag on the left pocket – it being American designed.

Verdict

Stylish summer riding top that performs well and stands out from the crowd
