Road test
The range of Spiuk Team Women is entirely made in Spain using materials of good quality, good stitching and attention to detail. Sorry for the women did not complete the range with a long sleeves shirt to wear under the jacket. Excellent, as always, the inserts reflective jacket and trousers, easy to reach pockets just inside the tissue, very comfortable. The fit is quite good, excellent cutting female anatomy and the fact that it has resorted to more seams, all put into zone not annoying, to have tight fit body, whether by bike or on foot. This becomes an excellent driving comfort, with clothes that still remain in place and not obstruct the pedalling. Breathability of the fabric used is more than good, almost excellent, and all situations, such as climbing, sweat is well absorbed by the tissue and transported outside. This, in part, is paid for with a waterproof wind not to the top is better, therefore, use an cape anti wind on long descents, where you can experience a significant drop in body temperature. In any case, the thermal comfort remains at more than good, at least until the limit of 5 degrees Celsius. It is worth noting that we have reached these temperatures associating the jersey long sleeve jacket Team Man, which we have already spoken, and that is a good match with the Team Women. For even lower temperatures, however, is well combined with a thermal underwear. The retention of body heat, however, is good and able to meet the cyclists shivering. Always with temperatures near zero degrees centigrade, for example, we have used with satisfaction the Elite Vest, which provides excellent protection from the wind of the bust also. The pad back is good, anatomical, and ensures good comfort saddle with medium quality. Not having a gel pad, though, the pants are ill-suited for use on saddles very hard and not very thick. The complete can also be used in Mtb, where still the positive comments and appreciate much the anti water jacket. In conclusion a good track, perfect in its cutting female anatomy and is able to ensure good thermal comfort at least up to 5 degrees (with the shirt in addition to a long sleeves jacket). Below these temperatures is also a good pair thermal underwear. Excellent breathability you pay, however, with the need to use a cape anti wind in very long runs where you feel a sufficient impermeability to wind only. Excellent, finally, the prices, but not disclosed by the Company: the jacket has a cost, found on the Internet, about 95 Euros, while the pants cost about 70 Euros.
