6 of the best summer jerseys

Lightweight tops to see you through the hottest months

FASTHOUSE CLASSIC ACADIA

£49.99 https://fasthouse.co.uk

SO GOOD... The Fasthouse jersey fits true to size, with enough length to keep you covered when seated and pedalling. Long mesh panels at either side, which run the entire length of the jersey (up and under the armpits and down the sleeves), do a great job of dumping heat when you work up a sweat. The lens wipe is handy, too.

NO GOOD... Because the fabric used on the shoulders, front and back of the Acadia Classic is thicker than on many of the other jerseys here, it can't quite match them for how light and airy they feel, even with the mesh side sections.

100% CELIUM

64.99 www.silverfish-uk.com

SO GOOD... With a fit just the right side of baggy, there's enough length in the sleeves and torso to keep you covered up. The smooth fabric feels soft, light and airy making the 100% jersey impressively comfortable to ride in. A small lens wipe is tucked on the inside of the hem - a useful feature to have.

NO GOOD... While the angular neckline of the Celium feels good and is open enough to promote airflow, the raised fabric at the rear lost its stretch quite quickly on our sample. This left the neckline looking a little limp in places. It's pricey, too.
