Best known for its wacky and wild designs, Sydney-based Attaquer has come a long way from its zebra stripe and Fresh Prince of Bel Air inspired roots.
As part of its latest release, the Aussie brand sent over the All Day Kit for us to put through the paces. Featuring a jersey and shorts designed for comfort, it’s been in regular rotation over the past couple of months.

All Day Jersey

The All Day Jersey is one of the more plain tops Attaquer has ever made, and it's still pretty busy! The top half of the jersey and sleeves are made from a stretchy lightweight material that’s soft on the skin and breathes extremely well.
On the bottom is a slightly heavier ‘cotton blend fabric’ which is also extremely soft to the touch. Yes, I can hear you, "cotton in a cycling jersey? Does it ever dry?" The answer is yes, the majority of the fabric is still polyester and such retains its properties.
As is becoming more popular with cycling kits the sleeves are extra long, in fact, they almost come down to my elbows. The trouble there is a thermo-bonded gripper at the bottom of the sleeve which is essentially a super-strong rubber band, and I'm no Schwarzenegger, but my biceps were too big to comfortably fit in the sleeves. It does its job no doubt and the sleeves do not bunch or ride in the slightest, but the gripper is not particularly comfortable.
