Full details

FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for very cold winter days?
The jersey is designed for cool to cold weather and functions best as a mid-layer. For extreme cold, you may need to add a thermal base layer underneath and a windproof outer jacket.
How durable are the reflective panels?
The reflective panels are integrated into the fabric for improved durability. However, like all technical fabrics, their performance can be affected by excessive washing, high heat, and abrasion over time. Following the care instructions will help maintain their reflectivity.
Can I attach any type of rear light to the light loop?
The light loop is designed to accommodate most standard cycling rear lights. Ensure your light's clip or strap is compatible with the loop size.
What is the primary benefit of the Nightvision technology?
The Nightvision technology refers to the increased areas of reflective print and other visibility features, designed to make the wearer more visible to others, especially in low-light conditions.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is composed of 80% Polyester and 20% Elastane, providing a balance of warmth, stretch, and durability.
How do I clean the jersey to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with like colors using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron the reflective prints directly.
Troubleshooting
Reflective panels appear less bright after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and high heat during drying. Over time and with many washes, some reduction in reflectivity is normal for all technical fabrics.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax can help.
Jersey feels too loose or baggy.
This jersey features a relaxed fit by design. If a tighter fit is desired, consider wearing a snug base layer underneath or a more form-fitting outer jacket.
