Test: Poc W's Pure ¾ Jersey 2023 - lightweight sun protection for women
The most important facts in brief
The "W's Pure ¾ Jersey" from Poc is made from a very lightweight mesh material and is designed for use in summer. The three-quarter sleeves offer additional protection and fit easily over the elbow pads. The "loose fit" cut is also designed to allow a back protector to be worn. The jersey is available in six sizes and six color variants
First impression
If you hold the fabric up to the light, it is slightly translucent. It has a honeycomb construction, which should ensure good ventilation and optimum moisture wicking. The jersey has a small zippered pocket on the back left, ideal for a train ticket, bank card or energy bar. An "Iphone Mini" just fits in there, but it can be tight for larger cell phones. The loose cut is not constricting, even with a large bust, and offers plenty of freedom of movement. The three-quarter sleeves extend to the middle of the forearm.
In use
The Poc shirt is suitable for many purposes. On hot summer days, the lightweight material protects you from the sun's rays while preventing your body from overheating unnecessarily. If you get sweaty, it dries quickly when you take a break. The jersey is also ideal for women who are sensitive to draughts and want their elbows to be protected on the descent. The airy bodysuit is also ideal in combination with protectors, as women sweat even more and the "Pure" allows the heat to escape quickly.
Conclusion
The combination of lightweight fabric and loose cut makes the Pure shirt the first choice on hot days and the ideal companion when biking with elbow or upper body protectors. Thanks to its low weight and small pack size, it fits easily into a rucksack. This means it can be carried as a change shirt for the descent, where the longer sleeves offer additional protection from the wind.
Recommendation
Poc offers the jersey as a short-sleeved and long-sleeved version. If you have a jealous partner at home, you can reassure them that the shirts are also available in a men's version.
