Oakley Sunday DH Jersey and Shorts
DH kit for the gravity fiends! ( 5 of 5 )
Oakley Sunday DH Jersey and Shorts Product: Oakley has set a standard for style and quality that has been hard to match and the Sunday DH Jersey and Shorts match and exceed the limit of the bar height. These loose-fitting and technically designed garments will fit over the pads, breathe and articulate with every pedal stroke and tweak. Blending the pragmatic need of a garment that will cover a hard working human and armor, the Sunday Jersey and Short allow good airflow and movement. The needs are simple - air to cool the rider, a second-skin feel, and protection from the elements. The wants are not as simple - blend the needs with garments that look amazing and make the rider feel good about spending their cheddar. A point of fact, though, is that Oakley is getting out of the mountain biking softgood game, so it will be increasingly more difficult to get your hands on the goods - impossible, even, once they are out of stock. Colors: Jersey: Black Print, Bright Orange, Sulfer Shorts: Stone Gray, Sulfer Pitch: Jersey: It takes a whole different mentality for downhill, along with a brain that likes to bathe in adrenalin. Before you let your lobes get the best of you, gear up with performance. You’re looking at the Oakley SUNDAY DH JERSEY, a concoction of innovation that wicks away sweat and armors your body against the roasting rays of UV. The underarm mesh zones are extended to help keep you cool, and the body has tech that targets microbes for odor protection. You’ll have an integrated microfiber wipe for your optics, a dropped tail for coverage, no-side-seam construction that prevents binding, and a look worthy of FR/DH thundergods. Shorts: Downhill melees just got a lot more comfortable. This shell short is made with four-way stretch panels and a compression molded pad at the lower back. It’s called the SUNDAY DH SHORT, and it’s a great freeride performer. We carved the materials and put them together in a way that moves with you, and even added some articulation in the knee area. Side vents with mesh lining help you tweak your temp when things get heated. Slip some nosh into the zip pockets and go find something majestic to toy with. Tech: Jersey:
Minus: The color schemes sort of freaked me out. The test color I got was Sulfer and I was not feeling them out of the box. That said, once on and the kit in place, while brighter than this Earth-tone rider likes, they looked super-sharp - making me look like a better rider than my skills allow. So, I guess I’m not sure if that is a plus or a minus. If you aren’t afraid to glow, rock the sulfer. Oakley also offers the jersey in a black print if you are looking to keep it core. Gut Feeling: Get ‘em while you can. Oakley has always made good softgoods, and they last. The window is closing. If you are a gravity rider and like to have a good looking, versatile kit, the Sunday DH jersey and shorts have worn well and met the Crank Collective standards.
