Founded in 2012 in Pune by a team of fitness and sport enthusiasts, Apace is a fast growing sports apparel brand that specializes in performance apparel for Cycling, Triathlon and Running. We got to review the Breakaway Women’s jersey, read on for our thoughts.
The Apace Breakaway Women’s jersey comes in two colour options - A Lime Green and Blue (i.e. Swirls) and a Blue and White (i.e.Paperplanes). The jersey we reviewed was the Breakaway - Swirls. This jersey has a unique design in terms of colours used. The jersey uses a combination of three colours, an upper panel made of a vibrant blue and the lower part is a base white with lime green ‘swirl’ patterns, at the front and the back. The side panels of the jersey are in the same vibrant blue as the top part of the jersey, with a contrasting white zipper in the center, that blends with the bottom half of the jersey. The branding on the jersey is prominently visible in three areas - on the sleeve, at the back and a logo on the front left chest. The colour combination used, along with the bright patterns will definitely make this jersey stand out at any given time.
The Apace Breakaway Jersey comes in four sizing options - 2XS, XS, S and M. The fit of the jersey tested was comfortable, yet snug. Being a racing-oriented jersey, the snug fit adds to the performance of the rider when on the saddle. The length of the jersey was adequate for it’s sizing. Additionally, the sleeves fit well - the length of the sleeves was ideal for a cycling jersey, coming close to the elbows, covering the upper arm. Worth mentioning, is the elastic band at the hips, which was perfectly fitting while not being overly tight or constricting. Additionally, the fit of the sleeve around the arms was comfortable and not tight.
The Apace Breakaway Women’s jersey is made using a quick wicking 100% polyester knitted fabric at the front, and a 100% polyester mesh at the back. The full YKK zipper is snag-free and allows for easier opening and closing of the zipper. The soft elastic at hemline provides a good fit of the jersey around the waist and the arms, while on the saddle. This jersey comes with three open elastic pockets at the back, which provide ample room for one’s phone, gels and other immediate necessities while on the saddle. Additionally, the reflective piping on the back provides additional safety and visibility. This jersey is aesthetically pleasing while being super functional.
Overall Rating
The lightweight and breathability of the Apace Breakaway Women’s jersey makes it aerodynamically perfect, making it a great option for wearing while racing and/or during fast paced training sessions. Additionally, the material used makes it an ideal option to go for when cycling in warm weather conditions.
