The road test

The Briko Prok Lady is well made, like other Briko's clothings. The most finicky will find some details in tone, or rather not at the level of some competitors, but the purchase price takes proper account of these aspects. The important thing is that what is really needed is well done. So the fabric is soft, the stitching placed in appropriate areas and not annoying. The fit is perfect, tight and specific for women. Excellent pockets with anatomic which facilitates the introduction of objects in the pockets and their subsequent intake. Always useful pocket with zip and perfect the handling of front zip. Good breathability of the fabric, at least until average temperatures and average training intensity. Over 30 degrees Celsius, however the fabric is unable to evaporate rapidly throughout the tissue, by behaving well separated from other products, this time, however, more expensive. Good also to the pad, specifically for women, particularly but not excel beyond the average other caps. Combined with a good saddle, specifically for women, allowing long runs without any particular trouble. Excellent and effective, finally, treatment with silver salts, because it works, even after several washing, and keeps track cleaner without giving off bad smells, even at the end of an intense workout. Good gloves, the perfect grip, and socks, very comfortable.

In conclusion a good product, though not placed at the top, there is very close, are highlighted in small amply justified by list price, very favorable: 65 Euro for the jersey and 65 Euro for the pants. More than good prices for a suit with many positive features and, if not in use with very hot climates and poor saddles, almost faultless.
