Full details
The Altura Icon Plus Road LS Jersey is an ideal choice for dedicated road cyclists who need a versatile garment that balances wind protection with breathability during shoulder-season riding. Engineered with Polartec technology, this jersey keeps the core warm by blocking chilling drafts while maintaining high comfort levels; however, it is not a fully waterproof outer shell, meaning an additional jacket is required for heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this jersey waterproof?
No, while it features windproof panels and is highly weather-resistant, it is not designed to be a fully waterproof garment.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
Yes, it acts as a perfect mid-layer under a heavier softshell or rain jacket when temperatures drop near freezing.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as it ruins the technical wicking properties.
What is the fit style?
It features a performance road fit, meaning it is designed to be aerodynamic and relatively close to the body.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
The three stash pockets are standard depth, suitable for most modern smartphones, but items should be placed in the secure zipped pocket if you are worried about them bouncing out.
What is Polartec Powergrid?
It is a specialized grid-pattern fabric designed to maximize warmth and moisture-wicking while remaining lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Jersey keeps riding up during rides
Ensure the silicone gripper at the hem is in direct contact with your bib shorts and not layered over bulky jersey fabric.
Overheating during high-intensity climbing
Use the full-length zipper to regulate body temperature manually during steep ascents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jersey, always follow the garment's internal care label. Due to the specialized Polartec fleece and technical fabric, it is recommended to wash the jersey at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the efficiency of the material. For the best fit, wear the jersey directly over a technical base layer to allow the fabric to manage perspiration effectively. Ensure the silicon hem is placed flat against your bib shorts to maximize the non-slip performance.
