FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for winter riding?
No, the C3 is specifically engineered for warm-weather performance; it lacks the thermal insulation required for cold temperatures.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No, tumble drying can compromise the integrity of the elastic hems and reflective components. Always hang dry.
Does the jersey offer UV protection?
While the fabric provides a barrier, it is recommended to apply sunscreen underneath, as this is a technical cycling garment rather than specialized UV-blocking gear.
How do the pockets handle heavier items?
The pockets are tapered and reinforced, but for the best stability, store your heaviest items in the center pocket.
Does the zipper come with a garage?
Yes, the full-length zip includes an underflap to prevent chaffing and skin irritation against your neck and chest.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels too restrictive around the chest
The C3 is a slim-fit model; if you are between sizes or prefer more room for layers, consider sizing up.
Hem keeps riding up during the ride
Ensure the hem gripper is placed directly against skin or the silicone grippers of your cycling shorts to maintain the intended friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the jersey is worn directly against a technical base layer or skin to maximize moisture transport. The hem gripper is designed to grip directly onto your cycling shorts to maintain a clean silhouette. When caring for your jersey, machine wash in cold water (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle. Always zip the jersey closed before washing to protect the teeth and surrounding fabric. Use mild, non-biological detergents and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric. Air dry only, as high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic grippers and reflective elements.
