ONE Industries Atom Short and Icon Jersey - Review
ONE Industries, who came into the mountain bike scene from a motocross background around four years ago, recently introduced their new Atom range. The Atom shorts are constructed from a four-way stretch polyester that is moisture wicking, and have a total of five pockets, including two open hip pockets, two zipped thigh pockets and one small velcro thigh pocket. There are belt loops, an elastic/velcro waist band and a zip fly. They are supplied with a chamois liner that uses a basic buttoned loop attach to the outer shorts. The Atom Icon jersey is made from a sublimated polyester that is moisture wicking, anti-microbial and has a UV protection treatment. The sleeves are raglan style and the collar stretches for comfort. To finish off, there's a hidden micro-fiber optic wipe near the right hip. The shorts are sized from 28" up to 38" in 2" increments. Available in khaki, red, grey or black at $79.99 USD. Jerseys are sized S, M, L, XL, XXL in grey, red or black at $39.99 USD. ONE Industries
ONE say that this is the"perfect short for going from the trails to the pub for a cold one after a hot ride."
Purple camouflage, at last.
Zipped, mesh pockets keep the weight down. A handy sleeve in the main pocket was perfect for my multi-tool which prevents it bouncing around.
Pinkbike's Take:
 | I put plenty of warm weather riding time in wearing this lightweight and simple combo, and it proved to be up to the task. The jersey's short sleeves are good for building a farmer tan, and the cut is more fitted compared to ONE's previous offerings. The shorts are simple, with a good amount of stretch and plenty of length at the knee. The belt loops are handy and the velcro waist adjustment worked well, but you can lose the ends into the shorts if you're not careful, similar to what happens when you lose a cord on a hoodie. The secondary pocket that's found inside the main pocket was the perfect size for my multi-tool to prevent it from bouncing around, and the other small pocket worked well for banknotes so you always have something for a pint. If you live anywhere near mud, light grey isn't the best choice as the stains didn't come out in the wash, but overall the Atom outfit covers all the bases in warm climates and has been my go-to riding kit over the last few months. - Paul Aston. |

Just curious, what made them fall apart so quickly?
