Thanks for tuning in today we're going to be reviewing the Velocio Signature
Zipperless road cycling jersey. The Velocio Signature Zipperless jersey is exactly what it sounds like, it
combines the popular Signature jersey with their Zipperless micromodal jersey.
It's developed for warm weather riding and uses lightweight sustainable materials
for optimal performance. The packaging is also very sustainable you can see this nice cardboard mailer
they also are part of the one percent for planet so they donate part of their proceeds. Inside the
mailer you'll find the biodegradable bags we have both the men's and women's variations here
so we can actually compare and contrast them but very similar designs just slightly
different color options. Lets go ahead and take it out of the nice recyclable bag and we'll go over the
price and specs. So retail price on this is $159 and again available both variations are the same price.
This is a Zipperless jersey which is really cool and it combines a lot of the features of
their Signature jersey but just remove the center zipper which makes it naturally more aerodynamic.
It has a low profile collar and developed for warmer weather riding uses 85% recycled fabrics so the
fabric itself is sustainable and with the lack of zipper on here it's also more sustainable as you
have less parts. You have four pockets on the back three large open ones and then a fourth zippered
one. You can see we have the men's version here and then they have a women's specific variation
which we also have here i'll take out of the bag so slightly different colors and obviously the fit
is optimized for women's anatomy so it'll be a little more tailored in versus the men's version.
You can see colors on these are really beautiful so they really pop especially in person
but same styling just slightly different fit.
Now let's go over the fit and finish of the Signature Zipperless jersey. The jersey combines
a lot of the features that Velocio are so well known for which includes their high quality
fabrics and construction. The color schemes depend on which one you choose we have the men's one on
the left and the women's one on the right the men's one is available in three colors you have
the olive green that we have here which is almost a pistachio-like color and then you have navy and
sky blue with the women's you have the same olive and sky blue but you additionally have this purple
color here so you can see how nice this is it's called black cherry so attractive color
and you can see with the men's and women variation they're anatomy specific so you
can see how they're tailored slightly differently to accommodate different anatomies. These are form
fitting so they definitely fit close but you could still wear a base layer underneath if needed.
The jersey itself really stands out in the fact that it has no zipper on the front so you can see
one big panel along the front with a very minimal branding that Velocio is known for. You have
the reflective Velocio logo on top and there's a low collar. What's cool about this collar is you
have this almost fake base layer underneath and that's just sewn in kind of completes
the look so it looks like you're wearing a shirt underneath but it's just a little piece of fabric.
All the seams on here are really nice so really thin and soft and really soft to the touch too
which is impressive so very comfortable to wear. You can see one big panel here
the raglan style sleeves and you can see that seam that runs along here very flexible fabric too you
can almost see how stretchable it is so it can contour around you while still being comfortable.
With this olive color you have the contrasting white which really looks good so it's that little
base layer piece here the sleeves where it goes around and that kind of contrasts with the olive.
On the rear of the jersey you can see you have traditional three pockets set
up reinforcements here as well so you don't have any sagging and then they're pretty deep
so if you look inside you have a nice deep pocket as well as a fourth pocket so you do
have one zipper on here which is that fourth a waterproof pocket here with this liner. These are
great for credit cards, keys or small things you don't want falling out when you're reaching for food.
What's great about Velocio is they include these reflective detailing so this little tab here
is actually reflective so at night all you'll be seeing even if you choose the darker color schemes.
Again the Velocio are known for very subtle branding it's not in your face and it's also reflective so
it keeps you visible. On the bottom of the jerseys
you have the silicone liner and this is great so it keeps it in place when you're riding
and you also have that traditional drop tail so if you look down on the center you can see how the
bottom actually extends further that provides nice coverage especially if you're riding in a more
aero or aggressive position. The women's version is very similar
so the same features it's just the cut on this is obviously different so you can see how the
back panels are a little bit different more aggressive than the men's version.
Now let's take a look at the Velocio jersey on the road. Here we have the men's version a nice
olive green it really pairs well with a variety of kits whether you have black bib shorts or other
colors it pairs well and we have the Lazer Vento helmet in white that actually matches
the off-white accents jersey itself really fits nicely. You can see a nice form fitting it's a slim
fit but not overly aggressive because as elastic material can still stretch out and the large three
pockets on the rear. Its really convenient for storage with that fourth zippered one great for keys or
credit card. Here we have the women's version on the road you can see same comments about fit
nice and comfortable but again it's elastic so it can fit a variety of shapes and body styles.
The large rear pockets again really convenient for riding and you have a long drop tail
which protects you as far as having no zipper you kind of forget about that. It's only inconvenient
when you're putting it on or taking it off as you have to fish your hands through instead of
unzipping it and taking it off but after that point you kind of forget about it when you're
riding it's really comfortable and well ventilated you don't have to worry about the jersey
getting loose with the zipper becoming undone and it's something that should last quite a
while as most jerseys usually fail because of the zipper coming apart. So nice combination of
everything that we like about Velocio jerseys high quality construction minimal branding and
great color selection so you can really mix and match with whatever kit or bike you have.
Now let's go over the scorecard for the Signature Zipperless jersey. We're going
to grade on four different categories: design, sizing, comfort and value. Design
would give an a it has nice minimal styling reflective details and subtle Velocio logos.
Sizing is also an A you have an accurate size chart with a form-fitting yet elastic construction.
That brings us to comfort which is also an A so you have all-day comfort whether you're doing
short or long rides. You're gonna forget you're wearing the jersey and you won't really miss the
zipper and again value would be an A. Its perfect for warm weather rides has a nice combination of
color schemes and well priced. Thanks for watching this review don't forget to like and subscribe. You
