FAQs
Can I wear this jersey without elbow pads?
Yes, you can, but keep in mind that the sleeves are cut wider than standard shirts to accommodate gear, so the fit will be quite loose.
How should I wash this jersey?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and hang dry to maintain the fabric's technical properties.
Does this jersey provide sun protection?
While the fabric covers your skin, it is not explicitly rated as UPF-rated sun protection gear.
Is the fabric heavy?
No, the jersey is designed to be lightweight and breathable for high-intensity riding.
What does the drop tail do?
The drop tail is a longer back hem that ensures your lower back remains covered even when you are leaned forward in an aggressive riding position.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long rides
Ensure you are not wearing a cotton base layer underneath, as cotton traps moisture and negates the TruDri performance.
Sleeves snag on gear
Ensure your protective guards are positioned smoothly against the skin before putting on the jersey.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jersey, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and inhibit the moisture-wicking capabilities of the TruDri material. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and fabric integrity. The jersey is compatible with standard mountain bike armor, and the sizing is designed to account for these layers; if you do not wear guards, you may find the fit to be quite relaxed or baggy compared to standard apparel.
