In spite of Spexcel being relatively known on this subreddit, I was hesitant to buy it, mainly because I was afraid of poorly fitting jerseys made of non-breathable materials and was mainly combining more classic middle-range brands like Santini, Sportful, dhb or Agu with some Rapha, all heavily discounted, so some also comparable in terms of price to 40EUR I paid for this Spexcel jersey on AliExpress.

I was proven very wrong - the jersey is made of different breathable materials, fits great and snug.

I took men’s S size, as Spexcel women’s jersey choice is quite limited. Jersey has nice details such as printed silicone grippers, back pocket with a zipper and raw cut back pockets that seem solid enough in construction to hold a phone, gels etc. 

Materials and details feel very solid, I still can’t comment on the long-term quality, but tbh it feels way better than Sirocco long sleeve jersey I had and feels equal to some of the Santini stuff I own.

As figuring out the right size was the biggest challenge for me, here are the sizes I wear in other brands, so you can estimate the Spexcel fit if you want to buy one:

Santini M  
Rapha S in Core, M in Pro line  
dhb M/12 in Aeron  
Sportful M (aero snug fit jerseys)  
Endura S  
Agu S

Very (positively) surprised with a Spexcel jersey
