Review from
The Bicycle Buyer
It's not hard to fall in love with the Retro Solo Superia. It's hand made in Belgium and everyone who has seen it has commented on its looks. The jersey, which is based on that worn by legendary 1960's Belgian rider Rik van Looy, is made from Wool-Acryl, which despite the name is machine washable. While this doesn't have the itch irritation of wool jerseys from the past we certainly preferred to wear something under it and it isn't as wearable as other retro style jerseys made from merino. The casual fit is almost baggy but doesn't look out of place when you ride in it. Up front a quarter length steel zip allows for extra venting when you start to work harder. The Solo is extremely warm and looks equally good of the bike. One of the best value retro jersey's out there.
In conclusion...
Warm winter jersey that looks great on and off the bike.
