A hooped Tempo jersey caught my eye in my LBS (Vive Le Velo at Ferriby). When I tried it on I liked the quality feel so I let the moths free from my wallet and made a purchase. In fact I made two purchases - I bought some club shorts to complete the set.

I like the full length zip on the jersey, and the general quality feel is super. The fit is excellent, and the look is smart but understated, so the Tempo quickly became my favourite go-to jersey. Correction - it was my go-to jersey until recently when I had the misfortune to take a nosedive into the unforgiving tarmac and wore a hole right through it. Why is it that when cyclists have a prang it always turns out that the best gear is being worn at the time?

I was aware of the crash replacement service, but I half expected that there would be some catch that would preclude me from taking advantage. How wrong was I. In the middle of this cursed virus lock-down these guys responded straight away to my query, found me a suitable replacement despite the current supply chain issues, and sent it out to me. They haven't even asked for a contribution towards the postage. Chapeau customer support!

I'll be buying again. In fact I have items in my shopping cart as I write this review.
