FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight fabric and moisture-wicking technology make it suitable for warm weather cycling. For extreme heat, consider pairing it with a very light base layer or wearing it on its own.
How do I know which size to order?
It is highly recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide image provided with the product listing. Please note that brand sizes may vary from standard sizing conventions.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this jersey?
No, it is strongly advised not to use fabric softener. Fabric softeners can clog the microfibers in the fabric, significantly reducing its moisture-wicking and breathability capabilities.
What does 'recycled material' mean in this context?
It means the primary fabric (100% Polyester) is derived from post-consumer waste, such as plastic bottles, which are reprocessed into new yarn for garment production, reducing environmental impact.
How many pockets does the jersey have?
The jersey features three convenient pockets located on the back for storing cycling essentials.
Is the zip on the neck a full zip?
No, it is a zip neck with a standing collar, typically extending partway down the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
What is the benefit of antibacterial treatment?
The antibacterial treatment helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the fabric, keeping the jersey smelling fresher for longer, especially during and after intense physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels damp after a short period
Ensure the garment is washed with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, which can clog the fabric's pores and reduce wicking effectiveness. Check that the moisture-wicking technology has not been compromised by excessive heat during washing or drying.
Odour persists after washing
While the jersey has anti-odour properties, strong odors may require a pre-soak in a mild solution or a specific sports wash. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat when drying and refrain from ironing directly on the reflective elements. If damage has occurred, it cannot typically be repaired, but the jersey's functionality will remain otherwise unaffected.
