Product Information
Full details
The Albion Traverse Short Sleeve Cycling Jersey is designed for endurance cyclists, long-distance racers, and bike-packing enthusiasts who prioritize utility and comfort on the road. Its standout benefit is the massive six-pocket storage configuration, which allows riders to carry essential gear, nutrition, and accessories without the need for additional bags. One caveat for prospective buyers is that the jersey features a close-to-the-body, performance-oriented fit, meaning those who prefer a loose or casual style may need to size up for comfort.

FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for winter riding?
The Traverse is designed primarily for warm conditions. For colder weather, it is recommended to pair it with arm warmers and a thermal base layer.
How do I access the mesh tunnel pocket?
The tunnel pocket is located directly underneath the three standard rear pockets, accessible from the side for easy reach while moving.
Does the jersey include reflective elements for safety?
While the focus is on storage and breathability, the jersey is built to high performance standards; always check the specific batch for added reflective details.
Can I fit a full-sized pump in the rear pockets?
The rear pockets are designed for cycling essentials, though a compact mini-pump will fit easily in the standard rear pockets.
Is the fabric UV protected?
The technical fabrics used in the Traverse collection provide excellent coverage, but it is always recommended to use sunscreen on exposed skin.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any dirt or debris from the zip track.
Jersey feels too tight in the chest area
Verify you have selected the correct size based on the performance fit chart; if it remains too tight, consider a larger size for better mobility.
Pockets are sagging under weight
Distribute heavier items (like multi-tools) across the rear standard pockets rather than clustering them in one location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Albion Traverse Jersey, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Because this is a race-fit garment, consult the manufacturer's size guide carefully before purchasing.
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fabric.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the zipper mechanisms.
- Storage: Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the machine.
