The Pro SL Jersey from Endura sneaks under the £100 mark, but there are features here that wouldn’t look out of place on a jersey costing far more.
It's made from polyester and elastane, with a large rear mesh section designed to keep you cool.
Overall, it impresses, delivering high-spec performance for a mid-level price.
Endura Pro SL Jersey specification
The Pro SL boasts dimpled, laser-cut arm sleeves that sit securely on the arms without restricting you.
A classy waist hem is minimalist yet secure, and the jersey features a lean and featherweight combination of polyester (80 per cent) and elastane (20 per cent).
There’s a sizeable knitted mesh area at the back, designed to improve breathability.
Storage-wise, there’s a trio of rear pockets, but a zipped compartment for cards, cash or a phone is sadly missing.
The Endura Pro SL jersey is available in four colours ('mustard' as tested, 'deep teal', 'ink blue' and 'pomegranate'). It’s also available in a women’s specific cut.
I tested a size S, and Endura offers a decent range of sizes, spanning XS to 2XL.
Endura Pro SL Jersey performance
The above basic specifications ensure a close-fitting but flexible feel on the roads.
The drag-reducing appeal is further heightened by those dimpled arm sleeves, although it was impossible to tell if it made a substantial difference to my speed.
The application of mesh on the back resulted in a breathable feel on hilly summer rides.
There are recycled fabrics in the mix and I like the visual design, but the frontal panel is somewhat see-through.
The thinness further improved the breathability, but next time I’d opt for the 'deep teal' or 'ink blue' versions over displaying my bodily hair (or a baselayer) underneath.
The jersey is as tidy inside as it is out, with bonded inner seams that minimise the chances of chafing.
I appreciated the reflective details on the back too.
However, I missed the presence of a zipper garage, experiencing some rubbing against my upper chest. It’s an easily remedied addition that Endura could incorporate in a future version of the jersey.
Endura Pro SL Jersey bottom line
The Endura Pro SL is a stylish and high-performing jersey at a mid-level price.
It's nicely breathable, there are practical reflective details and the design is appealing.
However, the jersey would benefit from the addition of a zipped pocket and zipper garage.
