TESTED: 100% Celium Jersey

100% are well known across the mountain bike world with many teams and riders wearing their kit on the Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series scenes. The Celium jersey comes from their premium trail/all mountain line that it’s designed for the pros to wear whilst out shredding away from the race track. So you can expect a performance fit and top notch materials and features.

Features and Fit

The first thing you notice picking up the Celium jersey is how light it is. The material used is extremely thin and full of perforations which means this jersey is firmly in the summer category.  One nice feature that is that on all 100% jerseys there is a microfibre patch on the inside of the hem to keep your glasses nice and clean, something I use almost every ride. The fit runs well, being tall and skinny I run a large in almost everything and the large here fitted nice and loose, which is how I intended, even when using a back protector. 

On the trail

Hot weather is definitely where the Celium jersey excels, the light material and loose fit let through ample air flow keeping things nice and cool. On cooler days it’s not a great go to choice without a base layer as there’s really not much material here to keep you warm. Fortunately I stayed upright during the test but it would be interesting to see how well this material holds up when you make contact with the ground. Judging off past 100% jerseys I’ve owned I would expect it to do well.
