FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for competitive racing?
While highly functional, the Airstream jersey features a relaxed fit which may create wind drag; it is best suited for training and leisure.
Can I tumble dry the jersey?
No, tumble drying can damage the moisture-wicking fibers and reflective prints. Always hang dry in a shaded area.
Does the jersey have a full-length zipper?
The product design prioritizes comfort and fit; ensure you check specific model versions for zipper length specifications.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Most standard-sized smartphones will fit securely in the rear pockets, though larger 'plus' or 'pro max' models may require a tighter pocket fit.
How do I ensure the reflective elements stay bright?
Wash the jersey inside out to protect the reflective logo from direct abrasion against other clothes or the washing machine drum.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long rides
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable cotton base layer; opt for synthetic or merino wool to complement the jersey's wicking properties.
Pockets sagging when loaded
Distribute weight evenly across all three pockets rather than concentrating heavier items like multi-tools in a single side pocket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura jersey, proper care is essential. Always machine wash the garment on a cool cycle (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fabric. It is recommended to air dry the jersey rather than tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the reflective logos. When choosing a size, note that the 'relaxed fit' means this jersey runs slightly larger than performance-cut alternatives, so consult the size guide carefully to ensure the intended fit.
