Troubleshooting
Jersey rides up at the waist during riding

Breathability feels reduced after several uses
Check if you have used fabric softener, which can clog technical fibers. Wash with a sport-specific detergent to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the jersey sits flush against the skin, allowing the performance fabrics to function correctly. The silicon hem gripper works most effectively when worn over dedicated cycling bib shorts. For maintenance, it is recommended to machine wash the garment on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fabric. Always air dry the jersey in a shaded area to preserve the elasticity of the cuffs and the integrity of the reflective detailing.
