FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for racing?
It is suitable for general riding and endurance events; however, it has a semi-fitted cut rather than a race-fit, so it is not optimized for pure aero performance.
How should I wash the jersey?
Use a gentle machine wash at a low temperature, avoid fabric softeners, and always air dry.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
Yes, the three rear stash pockets are designed to accommodate modern smartphones and common ride essentials like mini-pumps or energy gels.
Does the reflective detailing glow in the dark?
The detailing is reflective, meaning it shines brightly when light hits it from vehicle headlights or street lamps; it is not light-emitting by itself.
What is the primary benefit of Polartec Power Dry?
It moves moisture away from the skin to the outside of the garment very quickly, allowing for rapid evaporation and cooling.
Troubleshooting
Visible white residue on fabric
This is often a buildup of dried salt or detergent; rinse thoroughly with water and ensure you are using less detergent during your next wash cycle.
Bonded hem starting to lift
Avoid heat sources like tumble dryers and irons, which can melt the adhesive. If caught early, contact the manufacturer regarding repair or warranty claims.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jersey features bonded hems and seams, it is important to follow specific care instructions to maintain its lifespan. Always machine wash on a cool, delicate cycle and avoid using aggressive detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking properties and bonding adhesives. Air drying is highly recommended; avoid the tumble dryer, which can damage the reflective print and the fabric bonds. Ensure the jersey is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the vibrancy of the graphic print.
