Full details
The Fox Defend Taunt Long Sleeve Jersey is designed for aggressive mountain bikers and trail riders who prioritize durability and moisture management during high-intensity sessions. By utilizing proprietary TruDri technology, this jersey keeps riders cool and dry while providing a relaxed, protective fit that easily accommodates body armor and elbow pads; however, its heavy-duty construction may feel warmer than ultra-lightweight race jerseys on extremely hot, low-exertion days.

FAQs
Can I wear elbow guards underneath this jersey?
Yes, the Defend Taunt jersey is specifically engineered with a relaxed fit to accommodate elbow guards and most chest protection.
Is this jersey suitable for hot summer days?
Yes, the TruDri fabric is designed to wick sweat and keep you dry, though the thicker, protective panels mean it is slightly warmer than ultra-thin race jerseys.
Does the jersey include UV protection?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is not specifically rated for UPF protection. Always apply sunscreen for long days in the sun.
Is the jersey made from recycled materials?
Yes, the garment is constructed from recycled fabrics to provide a more sustainable option for mountain bikers.
How should I wash this to maintain the moisture-wicking feature?
Wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and avoid all fabric softeners to ensure the wicking technology remains effective.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be holding onto sweat
Check that you are not using fabric softener during wash cycles, as this clogs the technical fibers responsible for moisture-wicking.
Jersey feels too loose when not wearing armor
The Defend series is specifically cut for armor. If you prefer a tighter fit for non-armor rides, consider sizing down or opting for the non-Defend specific jersey lines.
Snags on sleeve panels
While the panels are abrasion-resistant, they are not puncture-proof. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any loose threads caused by trail snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jersey, maintain the integrity of the technical fibers by following these guidelines:
- Compatibility: This jersey is designed as a standard long-sleeve outer layer. It is compatible with all standard Fox body armor and most third-party protective gear due to its relaxed-fit cut.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the TruDri fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting to prevent fiber degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant color and fabric elasticity.
