CONCLUSIONS:

After several weeks testing both the Enigma Short and the Top in different conditions, both on a bicycle and in transitions to running, we can affirm that both products meet expectations.

The lightness and perfect fit of these garments make them ideal options for summer training and competitions.

However, it would be beneficial to improve the anti-UV protection and add zippers on the back pockets for added security.
