Tempo Sport - Best Value Kits on the Market?

Tempo's replica and authentic kits are virtually identical visually.

Tempo's replica and authentic kits are practically identical at first glance, which makes the replica an even better deal. Both versions of the shirt are made of 100% polyester.

>>> The 3D heated crest can keep up with Adidas and Nike

The player version contains "DRY+ Technology breathable anti-bacterial fabrics", according to Tempo. Although the material used for their shirts does not feature intricate weave patterns like some other brands, their shirts seem to be of reasonable quality, based on photos and close-up videos alone.

The production quality of shirts from the bigger, more expensive brands is surely greater, but that difference in quality does not correspond to the enormous difference in price.

What is also interesting is that both the replica and authentic have a high-quality heated 3D crest (called "Authentic rubber hologram badge"). All other elements of the shirt are simply sublimated.

It is, of course, impossible to pass judgment without trying the product, and we would be surprised to find that Tempo's shirts are of the exactly same high quality as Nike, Adidas, Macron, and other well-known brands. Nonetheless, Tempo's price points seem much fairer and are much more affordable than shirts from the bigger brands.

Conclusion

The price of Tempo kits is much more affordable compared to other well-known brands like Nike and Adidas, while the quality is good for the low prices. If you are outside Egypt, you won't profit as much from the low prices.
