Recumbent Cycling Jersey has pockets you can stuff
REVERSE GEAR Jazzed Cycle Jersey Review0001
We love our zipped pockets for safely carrying a variety of items while cycling on a recumbent. And we were excited to see that Brian Zupke did too in this review othe REVERSE GEAR recumbent cycling jerseys that was published in Recumbent & Tandem Rider magazine, Issue #38.
We, like Brian think that pockets are more useful on the front, but if you are a rider who prefers side pockets, we also designed the Chevron. The main difference between ours and other recumbent jerseys is that our pockets are zipped so things don’t fall out while you ride and/or walk.
And in the review, Brian also answers the question about where the pockets on the front feel more comfortable. We designed them low so that the gear you are carrying is not sitting on your solar plexus. I, just like Brian, carry heaps of stuff like cameras, cell phone and food, none of which I want to lose. When we surveyed a group of recumbent riders we found out that 60% had lost something while riding. We believe that’s because the reclined position makes it more likely that stuff will slide out of open, or evne elasticised pockets. They fall out of zipped pockets if you forget to close them too, as Len found out on one ride.
Read the review for yourself to find out why Brian likes the pockets. He also said: “As for the rest of the jersey, I like it.” And his wife said this of the fact that it is in a Unisex styling: “Overall she liked it and said she’ wear it.”
The conclusion of this review is: “Reverse Gear’s Jazzed unisex jersey is a great shirt. It’s well made, comfortable, has nice art and its pockets are truly functional. They’ll keep your gear accessible and more importantly, secure.”
What Brian didn’t know is that necklines on REVERSE GEAR recumbent cycling jerseys have been cut lower to make them more comfortable in the reclined / recumbent position.
Why do you like wearing Reverse Gear jerseys? Comfort? Function?

REVERSE GEAR Cycling Shorts Review0001
A few days ago, I received an email from a customer who said to tell you this about our shorts: “Your shorts are twice as expensive as others I’ve used but they’ve
lasted 4 times longer…
I got the current pair of Reverse Gear shorts about 2 years ago at Amlings Cycle in Niles, IL. Since then I’ve gone through at least half a dozen pair of other shorts. So, at this point I’m just wearing the RG shorts til one of us wears out.” - DF,

Florida is a great place to get away from the snow (which has been coming down in Toronto for hours). I wish I could be there at the event too. But we will be there in spirit!
The race weekend is one week after the Sebring 12/24 hour race on February 16 and 17, which we have also attended and sponsored in the past.
