FAQs
Is this jersey suitable for casual trail riding?
While it can be worn for casual trail riding, its design and features are optimized for more aggressive disciplines like enduro and downhill due to its durable panels and relaxed fit for armor.
How does the TruDri® fabric work?
TruDri® fabric is engineered to pull moisture away from your skin and spread it across the fabric surface, allowing for faster evaporation and keeping you drier and more comfortable.
Can I wear a hydration pack over this jersey?
Yes, the jersey's fabric and fit are designed to be comfortable under a hydration pack without causing excessive friction or heat buildup.
What is the main benefit of the Cordura® sleeve panels?
The Cordura® panels offer superior abrasion resistance, protecting your arms from impacts with trailside obstacles like branches, rocks, and from abrasion during falls.
Does the jersey come in other colors?
This specific guide is for the Black colorway. Please check product listings for other available color options.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Fox Head Clothing size chart. The relaxed fit allows for pads, so if you plan to wear armor, ensure there's enough room.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels too warm
Consider rolling up the sleeves if conditions permit, or opt for a short-sleeve version for warmer weather.
Fabric pills or snags easily
Ensure washing with like colors and avoid washing with items that have zippers or Velcro. Check Cordura® panels for extreme abrasion damage.
Fit is too loose with no pads
While designed for pads, you can layer a base layer underneath for a slightly snugger feel, or consider a more tailored fit jersey if this is a primary concern.
