Sarson Valencia Tracksuit

The Sarson Valencia ($50) is a basic training suit comprised of a zip-up jacket and color matched pants.  They are made of a comfortable cotton/poly blend available in navy or black.

AVID Soccer Equipment Review Sarson ValenciaThe jacket can be worn as a stand-up or fold down collar.  The construction is of standard fabrics with a 35% cotton/65% polyester blend.  The layered weave has a sharp exterior with an unfinished heather interior.  The seams are well stitched and the added piping makes for even stronger joins.  One of the most interesting features about the jacket is the panel design.  There are two piping stripes on the sleeves that go from shoulder to cuff.  This makes for a soft shoulder and adds style to the overall look.  The jacket has an open space at the left breast for a name or number and the back is clear. 

There are four embroidered Sarson logos throughout the jacket.  Each sleeve has a large logo, the back collar and the right breast all have logos.  You won't forget who made it.  The zipper is also above the quality we would expect from this price point.  It is an appealing shape with more movement than the standard bits.  The pockets are also zippered.

The pants are constructed of the same fabric.  They carry the same double piping and logo details.  The waist has both elastic and a drawstring.  The slash pockets do not have a zipper.  At the ankle, the cuffs have a short 9 inch zipper.  Unlike some training pants, the zipper opens a large pleat.  This allows a player to workout with the zippers open without flapping around.  On the down side, it leaves the flap inside the pant leg and limits the opening.

Taken as a whole, the Valencia is a good value.  This is an earlier model from Sarson, but the new catalog has two options in the same price range.
