Product Information
Full details
The Altura Airstream Cycling Jersey is designed for recreational and intermediate cyclists who prioritize comfort and moisture management during warm-weather rides. Its primary benefit is the combination of highly breathable fabric and a relaxed, ergonomic fit that doesn't restrict movement in the saddle, though it is worth noting that the loose fit may be less aerodynamic than high-end race-cut jerseys.

FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for racing?
This jersey is designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit and is better suited for training and recreational riding rather than competitive racing.
Does it offer UV protection?
While the fabric provides a natural barrier, it is not specifically rated for SPF; we recommend sunscreen on exposed skin.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cold with mild detergent and hang to dry; do not tumble dry.
Can I fit a large smartphone in the pockets?
The pockets are designed for standard cycling essentials, though most modern smartphones will fit comfortably in the center pocket.
What is the fit like compared to other brands?
The Airstream features a relaxed fit; if you are between sizes or prefer a tighter, performance feel, you may want to size down.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels clammy or wet during long rides
Ensure you are wearing a dedicated technical base layer underneath to assist with moisture transfer.
Hem is shifting during standing climbs
Check that the silicone gripper is clean of debris and fits snugly against your skin or shorts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Altura Airstream Cycling Jersey maintains its technical properties, wash it in cold water (30 degrees Celsius) using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the Altura Dry fabric, significantly reducing its breathability. Air dry the garment whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the hem and the integrity of the silicone grip. The jersey is compatible with all standard cycling shorts and bibs and fits true to size for a relaxed profile.
