PureHero's Spider-Man Jersey

An Exceptional Cut

The unmistakable logo of Spider-Man combined with a high performance, moisture wicking, stay-dry fabric cycling jersey? Why not? Thanks to PureHero you can ride the streets or trails of your locale and get a taste of what it's like to be Peter Parker's alter ego.

The first thing that caught my eye when the Spider-Man jersey arrived from PureHero (www.PureHero.com) was the exceptional cut! I could tell before I even put it on that it was a very well appointed garment. It is spec'd out with a very clean (and expertly installed!) 14mm (5.5 inch) zipper in the front for cooling down when the pace heats up. It definitely looks smart. If you choose to go without a base-layer you will notice that the material feels great against your skin. After a ride of three hours I still hardly felt the jersey was there.

I would recommend going with matching red arm-warmers on chilly days for more super hero appeal.

PureHero designed the sleeves exceptionally well. Not too snug, but loose enough to allow some airflow to stay cool. I would recommend going with matching red arm-warmers on chilly days for more super hero appeal.

A Stylish Backside

The back panel features a moisture transferring mesh material for allowing the heat to escape. The rear pocket design also deserves special mention. PureHero created a jersey that features a clever design never before seen in my experience: One continuous rear pocket, while being closed in the center, with two side entries of 45 degrees. Super stylish and worth giving your breakaway companions a peek while showing them some rear wheel action!

The sizing runs a bit large on this particular jersey. If you like a snug-super hero fit, I would recommend going one size smaller than you normally would wear.
