FAQs

Is this jersey suitable for hot weather?

Yes, the TruDri fabric is designed to wick moisture and keep you dry, though it is slightly heavier than ultra-light summer jerseys due to the added abrasion-resistant panels.

Can I wear body armor under this jersey?

Yes, the jersey is specifically tailored to fit over standard MTB elbow pads and chest protectors.

How should I wash the jersey?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, and hang dry to maintain fabric integrity.

What does the drop tail do?

The drop tail ensures the jersey stays tucked and provides coverage for your lower back when you are in a hunched, aggressive riding position.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, the full garment construction utilizes recycled fabrics as part of Fox's commitment to sustainable production.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears to snag on trail debris

While the jersey is abrasion-resistant, it is not puncture-proof. Use a small pair of scissors to trim loose threads, but do not pull them, as this can cause the knit to run.

Jersey feels damp during long rides

Check if you are using fabric softener in your laundry routine, as this clogs the moisture-wicking pores. Switch to a sports-specific detergent to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jersey, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle, ideally inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on other items. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking capabilities of the TruDri fabric. Always line dry the jersey in the shade, as high-heat tumble drying can degrade the synthetic fibers and elastic components. Regarding compatibility, this jersey fits true to size for mountain bike gear; if you typically wear elbow pads, you should not need to size up, as the sleeve architecture is already optimized for this purpose.
